The Pause Before You Lead

Heather Haigh & Alicia Saint

Leadership today asks a lot of people.

Leaders make decisions with incomplete information, navigate competing priorities, support others through change, and respond to challenges that rarely have simple answers.

In the midst of all that, it's easy to keep moving without creating space to think.

Hosted by Heather Haigh and Alicia Saint, The Pause Before You Lead is a podcast for leaders navigating growth, complexity, and uncertainty. Each week, Heather and Alicia explore the conversations, assumptions, patterns, and tensions that influence how leaders think, decide, communicate, and lead.

Drawing on decades of leadership experience and more than ten years coaching, consulting, and partnering with leaders and teams, they bring thoughtful dialogue, practical wisdom, and powerful questions to the real challenges leaders face every day.

Whether you're leading a team, an organization, or your own next chapter, these conversations will invite you to pause, reflect, and see something you may not have noticed before.

New episodes released weekly.
