Who are we at iPause?
Like many corporate leaders, iPause founders were three players whose rewarding and successful careers had also seen its quota of ups and downs, bad days, bad weeks, and bad months. A couple of years back, we pressed our PAUSE buttons! We set about identifying who we are, our unique dreams, developing new skills to get there, and re-energize ourselves.
​
The good news was, our dreams were strongly aligned, though not the same. Yes, it required some courage to reassess, make adjustments, and pursue a course that reflects who we truly are. The challenge was to demonstrate character and leadership in execution. We needed to be patient and take one step at a time! Luckily, each of us had our convictions that there’s nothing anyone can do to prevent us from reaching our potential!!
​
Today the three of us , Professional Certified Coaches of the International Coaching Federation , have a growing list of happy clients.
​
How did iPAUSE happen ?
Potential generally refers to a currently unrealized ability. The key words here are “Currently” and “Un-realized”. How often should be current? Once in your life or once a year or once in what? And, how much is unrealized? Is it the gap between the current state of results and a possible future state of results?
​
These thoughts led to the evolution of iPause!
​
As the name implies , the philosophy of iPause is to encourage and help people to periodically apply the pause button in the humdrum of their work-life, assess who and where they are , where they want to go, reorient goals and plans , and start executing with renewed vigor!
​
What do we do?
At iPause, we partner our clients in climbing a hill, on a journey of Self Awareness. As you keep climbing, you get a deeper view, a more all-round view of situation, and a wider choice of solutions . Solution-gifts that were hitherto waiting for them to unwrap!
​
Most of us leaders and managers do experience the gnawing feelings of frustration or even regret about the direction of our career sometime in our life.
@ iPause , we will help you examine the question “Am I reaching my potential?”
​
This is not the same as asking, “How do I rise to the executive leadership in my company ?” or “How can I be successful in my career?" Or "How can I make more money in faster time”. Rather, it’s about taking a very personal look at how you define success in your heart of hearts and then finding your path to get there. This is about getting to unravel yourself like the peeling of the onion. Getting to know your innate strengths, your goals and your passion before creating an action plan to realize your full potential .
​
We are a team of professional coaches , with years of wide and deep experience in both the industry and the coaching domain, who will support you re-discovering yourself.
