When I Slow Down, I Speed Up

Think two days away from work is a luxury? I just spent two days with my Forum.

A couple of years ago, the idea of being away from work for two full days seemed ludicrous to me. I thought I had to be in the business always—leading with my sheer presence. Only when I joined Entrepreneurs’ Organization did I realize: if I’m always in my business, I never get to see it clearly from the outside.

Stepping away gives me the clarity I need to lead with focus and passion.

This time, I spent two days with my EO Latin Bridge Forum, a group of business owners from across Latin America.

How does a Bridge Forum work? We meet every few months in a different part of the world to ask ourselves the bigger questions—together and of each other.

And every time I do this, every time I step away from the day-to-day (still with a little hesitation), I discover the same truth:

  • When I slow down, I speed up.

  • When I get clear, I execute faster.

  • When I ask myself “what’s next in life?” I start moving toward what actually matters.

Doing this work together with my Forum mates makes the experience even more powerful. These two days don’t cost me momentum—they give me more of it. Because when I return to my team with clarity, that clarity becomes theirs too.

Grateful for the reflections, the honesty, and the space held by:
Stephanie Camarillo, Ashish Khera, Takeshi Nobuhara, Vinoo Varghese, Jennifer Cohen, Daniel Levy, Alejandra Leon.

So let me ask you: what’s next in life for you?
