“Small hinges swing big doors.”
Today’s Kaizen is simple but powerful: Pause before you reply.
Before your next response – whether in a meeting, a text, or a face-to-face chat – take a slow breath, count to three, and let silence fill the gap. It gives your brain time to process, shows respect to the speaker, and transforms reactive habits into intentional choices.
Do this just once today. Feel the shift.
