#244. Shelley explores Beyond Busy and Achieving Strategic Stillness

In this episode, Shelley delves into the evolving nature of leadership by unpacking the powerful shift from constant “doing” to intentional “being.”

She reflects on her own high-action tendencies, how they once served her—and how they eventually led to burnout.

Shelley shares the personal insights gained from slowing down, recognising that leadership is no longer just about checking things off a list, but about creating space tothink, connect and lead with intention. She discusses how leaders can find their value beyond execution—bringing strategy, adaptability and presence to complex, changing environments.

This conversation invites leaders to reconsider their motivational drivers, embrace the “be, do, have” mindset and explore how stepping out of relentless doing can ultimately lead to deeper impact and more sustainable progress.
