Enhance Workplace Performance

by eliminating overwhelm & reactionary behaviors

Regain Control of Your Workspace

Pausing before responding is a simple concept, yet one of the most challenging to teach and master. The Simply Pause Solution was developed by Cheryl Shah, a veteran Corporate Finance Leader of 28 years, who found herself suffering from overwhelm and burnout amidst her career. In 2014 Cheryl took on a practice to better her relationship with workplace stress and developed a practical way of implementing lasting change to increase focus, productivity, resilience, and overall balance. The results were so profoundly transformative, prompting requests for guidance over the past decade, and launching a career as a Certified Senior Program Designer and Facilitator.

This is the Simply Pause Solution: evidence-based, implementable tactics to create a stress-resistant company culture.

About Simply Pause

Cheryl Shah

Founder & CEO

"Working in the finance profession, as an individual contributor and a leader, I faced a lot of overwhelming situations. I worked many 12-hour days filled with overflowing deadlines, often managing conflict between team members, or having to fire/lay-off employees within my department. I found myself responding on autopilot to challenging work situations instead of pausing, I was dealing with insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

I am not alone in this experience. Once I learned how to manage my overwhelm in the workplace, I started to work smarter, everything changed with how I was approaching, perceiving, and handling challenges. Now I teach others how to regain control of their workspace and eliminate overwhelm and from their day-to-day lives."

“Cheryl facilitated and guided us through this course with such compassion and empathy, that I had several powerful personal break-throughs during the 8 weeks of the course itself. To name a few, better relationships with my spouse and all of my children, and as I become more aware of life in the moment, life has become so much more pleasant and enjoyable. I am happily recommending Cheryl and MBSR and Mindful Leader to several of my friends. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!”
