The Pause: Redefining Productivity Through Stillness

We live in a culture that glorifies motion - inboxes, meetings, goals, growth. Yet every high performing leader eventually reaches a moment when doing more stops working. In this episode of the Alignment Table, Sharon Preston invites you to explore the power of the pause - not as a weakness, but as a refined leadership discipline.

Drawing on neuroscience, performance psychology, and her own, advising executives and founders, Sharon reveals how stillness recalibrates the nervous system, expands strategic thinking and restores creative capacity.

You'll learn:

• Why the brain's default mode network activates breakthrough during rest.

• How micro pauses in your day can prevent cognitive fatigue and emotional burnout.

• Simple rituals the re-align your focus and leadership presence.

• How redefining productivity through stillness build trust, clarity and calm authority.

Wether you're leading a global team or guiding your own next era, this conversation will help you shift from constant output to intentional impact - leading with clarity, confidence and composure
