Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about mindset. In a world that rewards speed and busyness, real leadership requires slowing down, thinking strategically, and acting with intention. Too often, people feel stuck in cycles of reactivity and burnout, waiting for permission to lead. But true leaders don’t wait—they step up, challenge assumptions, and create clarity in uncertainty. This article explores how shifting from busy to strategic can transform the way we work, make decisions, and show up with purpose.

Feeling stuck in your career, leadership, or personal growth? You’re not alone. Many high-achievers struggle with uncertainty, burnout, and decision paralysis—not because they lack talent, but because they’re caught in reactive cycles. At Bettermeant, we help individuals and teams break free from stagnation by shifting from autopilot to intention. This article explores the root causes of feeling stuck and how to regain momentum through clarity, purpose, and strategic action. Learn how leadership is not about doing more but doing differently, and how the right mindset, tools, and support can transform how you navigate challenges.

The world’s greatest often got to their positions based on skill, talent, and grit, but the vast majority of people at the highest levels all have had a coach of some sort. If we know this to be true, then why do so many of us question the efficacy of a coach in our lives? Bettermeant is challenging all of us to think bigger about who we could be if we did the work to understand who we want to be and put in the effort to become who we’re meant to be.

Do you ever wonder what it all means? Does your work really matter? Are you more than a number, a zoom participant, a slack contributor? The time is now for us to reassess, leaders to come to the table to listen and companies to make a stand and ensure it all means something.

One year ago Sarah Walton left a comfortable high paid corporate job to help bring meaning and purpose to the world through better leadership. Through coaching and advising on a custom approach to developing leaders that centers growth and vulnerability she has helped leaders across industries and functions feel more confident, better prepared to lead authentically and more oriented toward growth. A year in she reflects on how far they have come and how far they want to go.

Trying to be the best is burning us out. Aiming for something and spending our lives trying to get that is causing us to miss the beauty right in front of us. What if the goal was to have purpose and find meaning in our purpose? What if it was about growth and improvement? What if it was about joy - the childlike kind that makes you smile ear to ear? I challenge you to join me in the bettermeant club - make it all mean something and grow together as humans.
