Welcome & Thank you
You’re officially part of Permission to Press Pause.
Before the day arrives, take a moment to watch your Welcome Video - it sets the tone for what this session is really about: slowing the pace, resetting your system, and stepping out of the depleted version of yourself you’ve been running on.
If you’ve been moving fast, carrying too much, or holding everything together, this seminar will help you interrupt overwhelm, ease the mental load, and understand why your system keeps pulling you back into the push even when it’s costing you your clarity.
You’ll learn how to balance your Pause and your Push - shifting with intention instead of exhaustion - so you can lead from presence, not pressure.
Event Details
October 25th, 9:30 - 12:30pm
Location: Five Villages, Chester, Station Road, Backford, Chester, CH1 6NT.
Led by Nic Wagstaff - Psychology Master’s, FCIPD, 20+ years in L&D, and 90+ wellbeing and leadership retreats delivered.
⭐ What you’ll learn
You’ll explore the psychology behind your Pause/Push balance and uncover the energy patterns that shape how you operate. You’ll learn:
• why you push when you shouldn’t
• why you don’t pause even when you need to
• the triggers that override your limits
• the signals you’ve been missing
• the patterns that quietly drain your energy
• how your identity and leadership style influence your rhythm
You’ll also see where this sits inside my wider JIGSAW framework and why this piece is the foundation of sustainable self‑leadership. A deep dive course being delivered in 2027 both as a 3 day intensive and a 12 week hybrid online - so keep your eyes peeled
⭐ What you’ll walk away with
This session gives you practical, step‑by‑step tasks you can begin at home to map your energy and understand your Pause/Push profile. You’ll leave with:
• clarity on how you work
• a structured understanding of your energy patterns
• a 7‑day energy‑mapping task
• a push‑trigger audit
• a pause‑signal list
• one micro‑boundary to test
• a grounded sense of what needs to shift
• tools you can apply immediately
These tasks start strong on your own and become far more powerful when supported and structured
