When you walk into work, or the gym and there’s someone new, someone you’ve never met, this is a vacuum.
When you’re serving an angry customer, this is a vacuum.
If you’re a trainer, a coach or a presenter, and you start the presentation and the microphone doesn’t work, this is a vacuum.
A vacuum is a break in the known atmosphere. It’s certainly a pattern interruption, but it’s also a gap.
It’s usually uncomfortable, as there’s no known direction.
When you step into a vacuum and you choose to connect and to contribute, to create action, motion and re-define the atmosphere or flow, then you have acted from the centre.
You have responded rather than reacted
You have used initiative, from a space of leadership.
The interesting thing is, there are these vacuums everywhere.
