The Power of the Pause: How Conscious Leaders Lead with Presence Through Change and Growth with Chris Johnson
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
As Kami Guildner continues her theme exploring the Great Recalibration, she returns to the power of the pause. The pause is where leadership begins. It is where we reconnect with ourselves, come back to our energy and presence, and choose how we show up in the moments that matter most. In her work with women entrepreneurs and leaders, she sees how much women are holding right now and how leadership asks them to stay steady within a fast-moving world. When we are grounded in ourselves, there is a different quality to how we lead, with more intention and a deeper trust in navigating what is in front of us. Kami is joined by Chris Johnson, who has been in deep conversation with leaders across industries, listening closely to what it actually feels like to lead right now. Through her report Still In It and the launch of her companion book of practices to The Leadership Pause, she brings forward what leaders are carrying beneath the surface and offers a way to build presence, access steadiness in real time, and lead with greater awareness in the moments that matter most. In This Episode: What becomes possible when you allow yourself to pause, reconnect with your breath, and lead from a more grounded, embodied place How tuning into your nervous system supports clearer thinking, steadier decision-making, and more intentional leadership A new way to navigate uncertainty that doesn’t rely on pushing harder, but instead creates space for clarity, confidence, and creativity What leaders are discovering right now as they slow down and listen more deeply to what is happening beneath the surface How the practice of the pause opens the door to more aligned decisions, stronger presence, and a deeper trust in yourself as a leader Simple, practical ways to use breath, awareness, and embodiment to return to yourself in real time, especially in moments that matter most What shifts when you lead from presence and connection, and how that changes the way your team, clients, and community experience you How creating space for yourself allows you to access new insight, vision, and possibility in both your leadership and your life Chris Johnson is the founder of Q4 Consulting Inc. and the Core Presence Institute and is passionately committed to learning and cultivating exemplary leaders and collaborative teams, healthy workplaces, and engaged, thriving communities.
