How JAM works

  1. 1

    See yourself

    A short quiz. One of eight Digital Distractors. You’ll recognise yourself faster than you’d like.

  2. 2

    See what they see

    Invite three to five people who live in your digital wake. Same questions, about you. You get the gaps, including the one you didn’t know about.

  3. 3

    Do one thing about it

    JAM coaches you through a Traction Shift: the habits you recognise, the trigger for each, and what you’ll do instead.

Meet JAM

The coach from Pause, on your desk.

It knows the eight Distractors, it knows what your team said, and it won’t let you skip to the fix before you understand the trigger.

JAMJAM goes first

I’m a Leaky Faucet. I send a stream of half-finished thoughts instead of one clear message.

My team thinks I’m an Arsonist, because I always mark things urgent at 10pm.

My plan tells me to write it down and send it at 9am with a real deadline, so my team gets their evenings back.

I’m well on my way to becoming an effective leader for my team.

Where JAM comes from

JAM is built on Pause by Shawn Vanderhoven with Anne Vanderhoven, a book about how the way we send messages shapes the way our teams work.

The eight Digital Distractors, the habits behind them, and the idea of catching a trigger and swapping in a better move all come straight from the book. JAM turns that method into something you can use on your own week: find your type, hear how your team sees you, and build a plan around it.
