Definition: A framework for understanding there are moments when we can never go back to what was, our way of being has to be different now.
Explanation: A breakpoint is a moment of accumulated tension or pressure that signals transformation is needed, either in mindset, behavior, or system.
Example: A team stuck in burnout finally pauses, names the tension, and co-creates new norms, that’s a breakpoint.
How to Use This Tool: Use it during transition, conflict, or overwhelm. Ask: “Is this a breakdown or a breakthrough?” and “What wants to emerge on the other side of this breakpoint?”
