why take a radical pause?
In a world where speed is the default virtue, choosing to pause is a rebellion on its own.
But we don’t pause to slow down; we pause to see more clearly.
An intentional pause creates space to find the calm eye of the storm amidst the swirl of deadlines, doubts, and demands. In that moment of reflection, you can uncover overlooked strengths and fresh insights.
Decisions made from this grounded place ripple outward, leading to wiser choices and a more intentional impact on your life and leadership.

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.

co-founder | wellness visionary
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 Radical Pause to guide leaders in pausing, reflecting, and reconnecting with their inner compass.
daryl chin
co-founder | strategist
Daryl’s career has been fueled by a deep-seated passion for storytelling, a skill honed over years as a journalist, where he gave voice to human interest stories and unearthed the powerful narratives hidden beneath the surface of daily events. This ability to find the human story translated seamlessly into the corporate world where, at global brands, he shaped strategic communications and navigated crises by helping leaders articulate their most impactful messages.
Through his work, Daryl saw a recurring truth: the most resilient leaders and effective teams were those who understood their own story and had the capacity to pause to find clarity amidst the noise. He recognised the need for a space where individuals and organisations could consciously craft their next chapter. Now, he brings this strategic insight and narrative expertise to Radical Pause, building the strong, steady foundation that allows the company's transformative work to flourish.
