## Resource

Anchor Chat #33: The Leadership Pause In this episode of Anchor Chats, Dr. Woods reflects on The Leadership Pause and the importance of creating space between a situation and our response. He explores how leaders can resist the pressure to react immediately, instead taking time to listen, gather context, and think intentionally before making decisions. Dr. Woods reminds leaders that being responsive doesn’t mean being reactive—and sometimes the most effective leadership move is simply knowing when to pause.
