Charles discusses three types of pauses: daily short pauses, intermediate pauses during challenging times, and long-term pauses due to major events. He emphasizes the need for CEOs to maintain their internal energy levels and not let their "battery" run to zero, as this leads to poor decision-making.

Ellen resonates with his insights, recalling her own experiences with gratitude and positive mindset. They conclude that taking thoughtful pauses and having a grateful mindset can significantly impact a CEO's decision-making and overall success.
