Radical Pause

In today's fast-paced world, finding moments for genuine reflection can feel like a radical act. Radical Pause offers a pathway to this essential stillness, a method of grounding that creates space for what truly matters, both personally and professionally. Rooted in the understanding that profound shifts often emerge in quiet moments, Radical Pause helps individuals and leaders return to their centre – that place of clarity and inner wisdom from which authentic leadership flows. This approach is supported by principles found in mindfulness practices and leadership development, which recognise the power of reflection in navigating complexity and fostering effective decision-making.

Imagine a leader facing a critical team challenge. Instead of reacting impulsively, they take a Radical Pause: a moment to breathe, reflect on the core values and the human impact of the situation. This intentional stillness allows for a more considered response, one rooted in clarity rather than immediate pressure. This is the essence of Radical Pause in action.

Where reflection becomes leadership, and stillness becomes strength.

What is Radical Pause?

The Method

It is a grounding stillness, a deliberate act of pausing with intention to reconnect with what matters most.

The Philosophy

Derived from the Latin "radix", meaning root, Radical Pause encourages a return to what grounds us. It’s a recognition that meaningful change stems not from constant striving, but from a deep connection to our core values.

The Radical Act

In a culture that often equates busyness with productivity, choosing to pause – to breathe, reflect, and realign – is a radical act of self-trust. It is in these intentional moments that we rediscover clarity and uncover unexpected insights, even amidst challenges.

Whether you are navigating a personal transition, seeking deeper meaning in your work, or guiding a team through change, our experiences offer a structured journey to slow down, root into your values, and move forward with greater emotional intelligence. You will be invited to engage in practices such as guided reflections and moments of stillness, always with an emphasis on your own pace and inner wisdom.

For over 15 years, Jacyln Chan built and led teams at global brands like Nike, lululemon, and Technogym, balancing commercial acumen with people-first leadership. While she thrived in scaling operations, launching new markets, and optimising P&Ls, her most meaningful moments came in the quieter spaces—helping team members step into their potential, find their voice, and navigate challenges with resilience.

Then life shifted. After experiencing the profound loss of her son and facing her own health battles, Jacyln came to a deeper realisation: true leadership isn’t just about performance—it’s about seeing and uplifting people, especially in moments of doubt. Now, she blends strategic insight with a deep commitment to growth, building noetic movement to guide leaders in pausing, reflecting, and reconnecting with their inner compass.
