Power of Pause - Group Coaching Pilot

About This Program

You’ve built a life of consequence. But somewhere along the way, technology and the tyranny of the urgent began making decisions that should be yours. This is an invitation to reclaim that ground through a disciplined, structured practice of intentional pause. This is an experiment for those who lead, and who want to lead on their own terms.

How It Works

The pilot cohort is deliberately intimate with six to eight participants over eight weeks, guided by a cadence designed to produce lasting change:

  • Two brief facilitated calls per week (30 minutes each)
  • One structured Switch-Off Block built into your week
  • Short written reflections to track your progress, anonymised for broader research and case study development
  • A curated peer group selected for depth of experience and seriousness of intent

What You’ll Leave With

By the end of eight weeks, each participant will have completed at least six structured disconnection experiments, and will understand precisely what those experiments revealed about their relationship with time, attention, and agency. You’ll have redesigned at least one meaningful boundary around technology that you can sustain beyond the program, and you’ll walk away with a clear, articulated personal philosophy of pause: one that reflects who you are and how you actually want to live.

    David is one of the most insightful thought leaders on family dynamics. I regularly read his newsletter and value his perspectives. I read his book “Transition” when I first started studying and applying the intellectual discipline of family business succession planning. It sits on the bookshelf beside my desk and I often refer back to it. Its wisdom is universal and timeless.
