Can strategic pauses make men more powerful leaders? — Camilla Calberg
Manage episode 519832143 series 3626440
On Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik digs into a counterintuitive edge for high performers: the micro-pause. Executive coach Camilla Calberg breaks down how brief, intentional pauses expand clarity, reduce burnout, and upgrade leadership presence. We unpack integrating masculine “doing” with feminine “being,” reading the energy in the room, blocking calendar time for thinking, and leading from intuition without ditching data. If you’re a founder, manager, or exec chasing outcomes but feeling empty, this conversation offers practical, boardroom-ready moves to reset your nervous system, make cleaner decisions, and deepen relationships at work and at home.
About the Guest:
Camilla Calberg is a globally recognized leadership coach and founder of the Authentic Leadership Movement. Formerly a transformation leader across oil & gas, tech, and pharma, she rebuilt her approach after burnout and now helps leaders integrate power with presence—combining execution, intuition, and humane culture.
Key Takeaways:
Pausing is a performance tool: 5–60 seconds creates cognitive space to think, feel, and choose instead of react.
Masculine “doing” without “being” leads to ego-driven grind and eventual burnout; integration unlocks sustainable results.
Block calendar time for reflection—protect thinking like a mission-critical meeting.
Use the pause in meetings to let everyone breathe; it elevates group clarity and reduces reactivity.
Scan the room’s energy; name tensions directly (“I’m sensing frustration—what’s behind it?”) to move issues forward.
Intuition isn’t anti-logic; it’s another data stream. The best leaders pair metrics with inner knowing.
Leading from the heart lightens decision load, improves questions, and deepens relationships with teams and partners.
If the environment is too charged, step out briefly to reset your nervous system; come back grounded.
Clarity is a habit, not an accident; repetition of micro-pauses builds calm confidence and better choices.
Outcome: more focus on the big “why,” fewer busywork loops, and stronger, more human leadership.
