IF YOU DON'T
PAUSE. . .
Nothing Worthwhile Will Catch Up With You.
by
Patt Schwab, Ph.D., CSP
Remember the
Coca Cola ad praising the Pause that Refreshes? Do you know
what happened to that pause? We let the pace of life weasel
it away from us. In the process we've become a crabby,
nasty, me-first nation of soreheads. Why isn't all the new
technology making us feel more connected, more productive or
more content?
Dr. Patt
Schwab's answer is that we have been in such a hurry to run
the human race, we have neglected our most basic human
needs: to feel significant, to feel competent, and to feel
loved & appreciated. She raises the following
questions:
- How do you
feel significant as a too crowded world races by
you?
- How do you
maintain a feeling of competence when things are changing
too fast to have a sense of mastery over them?
- How do you
develop open, supportive relationships in a workplace
where few of us have the time to kick back, toss around
ideas and get to know each other?
Patt proposes
three simple strategies to keep you (and your employees)
balanced in a fast changing world. Better yet, they are
strategies you will enjoy implementing.
Whether you are
cruising the information highway or lost on a frontage road,
this motivational presentation provides humorous, thought
provoking and effective hints for mastering the pace of your
personal and professional life.

Meeting Planner Notes:
This 50-90 minute keynote emphasizes the need to pause, to
celebrate our triumphs and to indulge in the positive
emotions. It is ideal as the opener for a conference or
training day or for an awards banquet because it blends so
well with the purpose of the activity: the event creates a
time to pause, to reward each other's successes and to feel
good about oneself and one's colleagues.
