From Strategy to Stillness: My Pause to Play

Before Pause to Play was born, I spent over a decade in high-level leadership roles — leading teams, building structures, and delivering outcomes across

global organizations.

I was a senior leader — someone who knew how to get things done. I held roles where expectations were high, outcomes were critical, and focus was everything.
I knew how to perform. I knew how to deliver.

 

So I paused.

 

Not because I was lost — but because I wanted more. More depth over speed. More intention over impulse. More meaning over momentum.

Pause to Play was born from that pause.

 

And this space isn’t just a blog — it’s an invitation.

 

For anyone — no matter your title, your path, or your past — to begin again, on your own terms.
