In part one of two special bonus episodes with CRR Global co-founder and CEO Marita Fridjhon, Marita and Katie discuss ways in which we can create space within the pace of change. How can we slow down upfront in order to speed up in the long run? Chasing the speed of change happens on every level and it’s inevitable. It’s part of being human. So we have to work really hard at slowing down in order to focus on the people in front of us and connect with where we are.  Practising pause is essential for our relational evolution. Whilst everything else speeds up to around us how can we create moments of pause in order to reflect on where we are and connect with who’s in front of us?
