In the high-stakes environment of modern work, “slowing down” feels counterintuitive. We are trained to execute, decide, and move. The market rewards speed, and whether you are running a company or navigating a demanding career, the pressure to deliver is relentless. But speed without clarity is just chaos. As an ICF Business & Empowerment Coach, I often meet professionals who are technically brilliant but feel stuck. They are hitting a ceiling—not of skill, but of capacity.
