Welcome back to Make a Difference.

Speaker B:

Today, we're slowing things down just enough to notice something important the moment before a decision.

Speaker B:

We make so many choices automatically, quickly, reactively.

But clarity usually doesn't show up after the decision, it shows up in the spaces before it.

Speaker B:

Stillness doesn't delay progress, it refines it.

Speaker B:

So consider this.

Speaker B:

What decision is asking for your attention right now?
