I want to tell you about a moment I keep seeing play out in leaders I work with, because I think you'll recognize it. 🧐

Someone on the team knocks on the door, or sends a message, or catches you in the hallway between two other things. Before they've even finished the sentence, you already have the answer forming.......and of course, you give it, right?

They say thanks, they leave, the whole exchange takes maybe ninety seconds, and it feels like exactly what a good leader should do: available, decisive, helpful.

I think of a director I coached who described her Tuesdays like this: seven of these moments before lunch, each one small, each one completely reasonable on its own. By the time she finally sat down to think about anything strategic, the day was already gone. So was she. 🤯

Here's what this is not:
⛔ a discipline problem
⛔ you caring too much or saying yes too often
⛔ you being a bad leader

What it IS:
A pattern.

A pattern you internalized, one ninety-second answer at a time, so gradually that there was never a single moment to notice it, let alone stop it.

Again: I don't think that makes you a bad leader. I think it makes you a capable one, BUT using that capability in an unfavorable place, over and over.

Note: This isn't good for you—and it's certainly not the best thing for your team, either.

I've been sitting with this pattern a lot lately, thinking about what actually interrupts it. More on that soon.

For now, I'm curious: where do you see this happening most in your own leadership?

Drop a comment, I read every one.

When was the last time you actually recharged your mind? 🧠🔋

Not your phone. Not your laptop. Your 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙.

Because while we would never leave the house with less than 20% battery on our cell phone - would we? 😉 - we are often far less critical when it comes to our inner resource status.

I was thinking about this after a conversation I had last week. A brilliant leader, astounding track record...... and completely exhausted. When I asked “If your mind were a phone battery right now, what percentage would it show?“, the answer was 14%.

Fourteen percent!

And still showing up to lead his team, take complex decisions daily and hold space for others. In busines and in private life.

Why is that? Why do we tend to take better care of our technical devices than we do of ourselves?

Just like our cell phones, our batteries don't recharge themselves. We have to schedule these “charges” just like everything else we fill our calendars with. My own battery charging time even has its own color in my calendar. But maybe that's just me. 😉

So: How is your battery level today? And when do you plan to “plug in” next?

Three minutes, three times a day.

That's all it takes to build what I call your "composure muscle."

I know, I know—you might think: "Masha, I barely have three minutes to eat lunch, let alone sit and breathe." I get it. The calendar is a patchwork rug, the inbox never sleeps, and there's always one more decision that can't wait.

But here's the thing: that feeling of never having time? That's exactly the signal that you need this.

The 3x3 practice is simple and it’s serving me well for many years now.
☕ Three minutes in the morning—before the first meeting, before you open your laptop.
🍱 Three at midday—somewhere between jumping to the cafeteria and making it in time to the next meeting.
😴 Three before sleep—letting the day settle before your mind starts replaying tomorrow's agenda.

Just breathing. Noticing. Allowing. Sometimes I ponder the question „How can I create value today for myself, my loved ones, my customers, the world?“ But that’s already an extra.

For the base of the 3x3 practice, nothing is required. No pondering. No app. No special place. No need to "clear your mind" or achieve a certain state. You're simply creating a pause. A micro-moment where you're not performing, deciding, or fixing anything.

And the science behind this is fascinating: each pause doesn't just calm you in that moment—it actually trains your brain to stay steadier under pressure. It builds your capacity for clarity, creativity, and strategic thinking when everything around you is chaotic.

I've watched leaders transform their decision-making with this. Not because they suddenly have more time or fewer problems, but because they've trained themselves to find composure in the chaos instead of being swallowed by it.

So here's my question for you: which three-minute window could you claim today? Morning, midday, or evening? Just one to start. 😉

Why does nothing change? I do so much!!!

If you sometimes feel like you’re doing a lot but not achieving any visible results or changes yet, maybe you’re bamboo-ing. 🎋

Bamboo spends four years growing roots underground that nobody can see. It's just there, doing its thing, invisible to the world around.

And then, in six weeks, it shoots up twenty meters.

In my coaching, I often meet leaders who feel like they're doing all the right things but not seeing any results yet. They do reflection and self-awareness work, education, coaching, and emotional regulation practices.

But the progress feels so slow that sometimes it just seems pointless.

What we tend to overlook: invisible time isn’t automatically a delay. Most probably, it is the act of growing a foundation.

And I'd say: a strong one. The kind that hold you steady when the pressure gets intense, when the market shifts, when the board asks hard questions or you, as the board, have to make difficult decisions, when your team looks to you for direction in uncertainty.

The bamboo doesn't hurry anything in the quiet underground years. It just grows. And grows. And grows....

And one day, suddenly, it becomes unstoppable.✨

So if you're in that underground phase right now, building leadership skills that don't show up on a quarterly report, investing in your own resilience while everything around you demands immediate results—trust the process.

And maybe smile a bit when you say to yourself, “No worries, I’m just bamboo-ing.” 😉
