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.

Get Started with 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."
