Taking a Moment to PAUSE: A New Approach to Workplace Wellness at IFSI

IFS News

What if even our busiest days at work could hold more ease, curiosity, and compassion? That’s the idea behind PAUSE for Self-Leadership™ - a program that brings the wisdom of IFS into organizational life. PAUSE offers simple, practical tools to notice and work with the parts of us that push, pressure, or worry when deadlines loom.

At IFSI, with support from the Self-Leadership Collaborative, we are introducing PAUSE as part of our own culture shift. Through shared language and guided practice, we’re learning how to step back internally, create space, and return to clarity before moving forward. This approach helps us respond with more confidence and less reactivity, even when projects are complex and fast-moving.

As SLC Facilitator and Leadership Coach Brigit Rohm reflects, “PAUSE nurtures the inner system and fosters human connections while engaging with the external environment, creating a motivational and productive workspace. Unlike many coaching methods that focus solely on the outer system, PAUSE embraces a holistic approach."

By investing in the wellbeing of our inner world, we are laying the foundation for a healthier, more connected, and ultimately more successful workplace.
