This book is for leaders, coaches and practitioners who are intrigued by their contribution to, and impact on, conversations, and who are committed to cultivating an authentic presence and voice.
The book explores: the influence of internal dialogue on your interactions with others and your effectiveness in your organisation; how to increase your versatility in challenging or delicate conversations and to develop capacity for doing this in 'bad weather' (adverse conditions); and how to germinate systemic change, one leadership conversation at a time.

In this elegantly crafted practice guide, Amanda expands our relationship to both mindfulness and dialogue. Like breath itself, the text has a lightness and rhythm that invites us into a profound sense of space and possibility which is also familiar and ordinary. This is a practical roadmap for those seeking more satisfying conversations and more enduring results --Susan Szpakowski, Executive Director, ALIA Institute and author of Little Book of Practice

I have a small number of books that rarely find their way onto my library shelves. They are full of good stories, practical examples, interesting questions and well-tested wisdom. Over the years, they become dog-eared, flagged, annotated and stuffed full of notes. They travel with me and I never loan them. Amanda's 'Pause for Breath' is one of those books. --Dr Steve Marshall, Director, Photo-Dialogue Ltd

This book distills the wealth of experience that Amanda has gained over a dozen years of conscious and thoughtful practice, and also makes a unique contribution to the body of knowledge in the way she has synthesised the connections between numerous individual approaches. Amanda has achieved true synergy - and a step change in how we think about conversations. This is a real game-changing book. --Dr Karen Niven, Lead Risk Manager, Shell Heath
