In my experience, closing the office door for a few quiet minutes before big decisions changed the entire tone of the day.
In schools, allowing teachers protected time for planning improved their patience and presence with students.
In hospitals, even a 3-minute breathing pause helps practitioners reset their emotional state.
Space protects leadership. It creates balance, clarity, and emotional spaciousness: the opposite of reactive leadership.
Physical space. Mental space. Emotional space. All three renew energy.
Reflection: What space: physical or emotional – needs clearing today?
