Is leadership really about doing more?

At certain stages, effort drives growth. Earning, solving, delivering, proving. That mindset builds careers and companies.

But at scale, more effort stops creating expansion.

Responsibility increases. Expectations rise. The instinct to carry even more quietly intensifies.

You may not be exhausted, but you may feel the tension.

The sense that what built this level may not carry you forward.

The question becomes: what sustains growth when pressure is no longer the right engine?

I can tell you from experience that it all gets better the minute you say “Enough! I’m open to a new way.”

Clarity. Steadiness. Sustainable Leadership.

Hi, I’m Meredith Vaish, Intuitive Leadership Coach and founder of Pause Box.

I help seasoned women leaders expand their success without running on pressure.

I spent years inside high-performance environments before stepping away for a year-long soulbbatical. That pause changed how I understand effort, ambition, and what truly sustains growth.

Today, I work with founders and corporate leaders who have built something real and want their next level to feel steady, sustainable, and aligned with who they are becoming.

“I received more clarity about the direction I needed to take my business as well as I listened to more of what my heart desired so I was able to take action and create connections that may otherwise not have happened.”

I really appreciated the push to lean into my intuition and to find freedom in listening to my inner guidance rather than all the inner chatter of second-guessing myself
