🎥 Sunday Reset with Steven | 17 Aug 2025⚡ The 5-Second Rule and the 2-Word ResetThe best leaders I know don’t wait for courage They count down to it.And when frustration rises? They don’t fight harder. They simply let them.As you by now know I advise boards and senior leaders navigating AI, governance, and transformation. And a reminder:That on Sundays, I share these resets - grounded, personal, and human. Use it in life and workplace. In this week’s Sunday Reset video, I break down two tiny but powerful tools from Mel Robbins that I’ve been testing myself:➡️ The 5-Second Rule: When hesitation strikes, count down 5-4-3-2-1 and move.➡️ The “Let Them” Theory: When others don’t act how you want, release the grip. Let them. And reclaim your peace.They sound almost too simple. Yet they’ve shifted how I lead, how I work, and even how I handle tough personal moments.Here’s why they are not theory. They’re lived.🟦 This week, I was staring at a draft email.Tough message. High stakes (it was to the chair of board, giving not good news, although written well).My brain? Doing what it does best: spiralling with “what ifs.”Instead of sinking into that mind mode, I counted back: 5-4-3-2-1… send.The world didn’t end. In fact, the decision opened a door I’d been hesitating on for weeks.🟦 Another moment: in a personal relationship.Someone dear to me chose a path I didn’t agree with.Every instinct in me wanted to jump in, explain, persuade, fix.But then I caught myself: let them.Let them reveal their truth. Let them walk their road.And the weight I was carrying? Gone in seconds.That’s the point:➡️ The 5-4-3-2-1 countdown gets you moving when fear freezes you.➡️ The two words “let them” release you when control grips you.One propels action.The other protects peace.Together, they create a balance most leaders. And most humans, well they are desperate for: momentum without burnout, clarity without control.So here is the challenge I leave you with this week:Where do you need a countdown to courage?Where do you need a release into freedom?Sometimes, the reset you need is just 5 seconds.Or 2 words.Keep growing. Keep leading.Until next Sunday. Let’s get it.Steven PAUL, CDir FIoD - Reshaping boards and CEOs to lead decisively: Your boardroom compass for bold, trusted AI decisions and governance. 📳 Let me show you how.
