ONE: Spring Power Pause Guidebook: Personal Leadership Edition

Download the Guidebook – click here
A hand-crafted, illustrated guidebook that walks you through the 3-step Spring Power Pause.
Includes: visual thinking templates, intentional inquiries, step-by-step instructions with and space to write in the guidebook. Options for working with the guidebook:
- Print single sided for more space or double sided is okay too – write in the booklet (handwriting opens up your right / insight brain)
- Use your own paper/journal – just write in the inquiries and draw out the centered-leader models.
- Work with the PDF – write or type into it
RECOMMEND: The act of handwriting and visual thinking activates the creative and intuitive parts of our brains and intelligence, and makes links for us that the mental and intellect can’t access on their own.
TWO: Live Reflect & Refocus Session Facilitated by Christine & Katherine

RETREAT SPACE CREATED BY US FOR YOU (Optional and Delightful!)
Sometimes it’s just better to have someone walk you through an experience, share context and examples, provide creative inspiration, and lead you through step by step (so you can just relax and enjoy the process.)
We’ll create and facilitate this space on Friday, April 10th at 11:30am ET – we’ve been facilitating using zoom for over a decade, so we know how to set a field of “co-creative space”, where you get to both be in your own energy field and be part of a collective field. Come however you like in whatever way feels like a retreat for you vs. another zoom meeting you have to go to. And Yes, we will record it.
TIME: Friday, April 10th at 8:30am PT| 9:30am MT| 10:30am CT| 11:30am ET | 5:30pm CEST (Plan for 2 hours)
LOCATION: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87116102526

Yes, we said 2 hours – it’s what we’ve found creates spaciousness and progress. In a world that works in window and time slots, 2 hours could feel impossible. OR you could embrace your power to create space vs. be driven by time, and put the full 2 hours on your calendar now. Just creating this space for yourself and claiming it is an act of self advocacy and sustainable success.
Remember, the pause is where the wisdom is 🙂
And if you just cannot do the full two hours – come for what you can.
This is a creative space held for you (not another zoom call) … there will be self-reflective time as well as a body care spacer / break. Come live … we promise it will be insightful, meaningful and fun.

THREE: Recordings of the Facilitated Session with Christine & Katherine
We will record the live creative process and post the following week. And we hope you can come live.
FOUR: Primer Podcast with Christine: 5 Inquiries to Find Courage and Guidance in Choppy Waters

Here is a podcast you can tune into with Christine that leads you through 5 primer inquiries at Spring that support us to stay centered and focused, especially during times of choppy waters.

Power Pauses are visually facilitated, cyclical planning sessions that provide a more creative and collaborative process to prioritizing, focusing, setting expectations and making progress on goals based on how humans and teams naturally work best. These strategic sessions usually happen at quarterly or twice-yearly intervals and work great for teams or for leader/managers, and include:

This whole-brain approach, centered around sustainable success for individuals, teams, and organizations:
- Alleviates burnout and overwhelm
- Reduces fragmentation of resources and unnecessary work
- Leads to an overall greater impact to business success and employee wellbeing.
- Individuals and teams become more innovative, flexible and resilient, and people feel more engaged, connected and empowered.

“Strategic Power Pauses Catalyzed Us into a Much Stronger Team. The Power Pause workshops turned my skeptical accounting team into an actual team: by cataloging everything we’d survived and achieved, people dropped their defenses, saw each other’s load, and began working as one instead of a herd of exhausted individuals.” – SVP, Chief Accounting & Treasury Officer
The Power Pause methodology is a propriety system that can be customized and licensed for teams and organizations through the Expanding Possibility Consulting Group. We love working with teams, training leaders & managers, and creating experiences for people that support both individual & organizational wellbeing and success. We ask that these materials and processes are not reproduced or shared. Thank you.
