The Power of Pause (PDF)

A clear, actionable plan to fight frustration at work, make
savvier decisions, and avoid costly mistakes when we're short on
time, attention, and choices

One of the most frustrating dilemmas for working people today is
how to be effective when we feel we don't have time or we're facing
non-stop demands. The Power of Pause process is a dynamic
practice that Nance Guilmartin has taught thousands of people
worldwide, equipping them to regain control of thoughts and avoid
miscommunications. This tested method helps readers to take a
moment to wonder what's called for when we feel we're short on
time, attention, temper, or choices. In that instant, we can use a
simple method to rewire our overloaded circuits, tap into our
"missing-in-action" common sense, and raise our communication
intelligence. This process is not about slowing down the
pace of workday life. It is about enabling anyone who is
time-pressed to make savvier choices and avoid costly mistakes.
