Take the Pause

Pausing before you respond to something can be a learned skill...so how do you learn it?

In this segment, the Gifted Underachievers talk about taking the pause—not responding immediately with a yes or no to a project, an offer, or a trigger. If you’re not hard-wired to think carefully before you respond, what can you do?

Questions for You:

  1. Do you tend to respond immediately to ideas, offers, or news?

  2. Is taking the pause an innate personality trait, a learned skill, or both?

  3. When’s the last time you replied too quickly for your own comfort?
