Hi ,

Yesterday, I shared a lesson from a short video of Olympic boxer Tony Jeffries — about how growth doesn’t just happen in the big moments, but in how you approach the “small” ones.

But there was something else in that clip I haven’t been able to shake.

It wasn’t just what he said.

It was how he answered.

The question was simple:

“Is it worth sparring with someone less experienced?”

And before he said a word…

he paused.

Not out of hesitation — but presence.

You could see him thinking.

Not searching for the “right” response.

Just being real with the question in front of him.

And that moment —

the quiet, thoughtful pause —

felt oddly profound.

Because how often do we do that?

How often do we pause…

breathe…

let ourselves think before we respond?

Most of us default to habit.

To scripts.

To quick answers that smooth over the silence.

But don’t you want more space in how you speak?

More clarity in how you lead?

More presence in how you connect?

This kind of inner work —

the kind that shapes not just your message,

but the way you show up to deliver it —

is a big part of the Ultimate Core Brand process I guide my clients through.
