Decision Pause was created by Dr. Leslie Jensen-Inman, whose work sits at the intersection of learning, leadership, systems design, and lived experience.

Dr. Leslie holds a Doctorate in Education in Learning and Leadership and has spent years working with complex decision-making—both professionally and personally. She has served as a co-CEO of a seven-figure business, supported organizations navigating high-stakes strategic decisions, and worked inside systems where clarity is often expected before it’s fully possible.

She is also a parent navigating education, healthcare, and support systems where decisions are rarely theoretical and outcomes matter deeply. Much of the work behind Decision Pause grew out of the space between doing your best for someone who depends on you and being asked to choose inside systems that don’t make that easy.

Decision Pause brings these worlds together—offering a grounded, humane approach to decision-making that values care, responsibility, and lived reality over urgency or oversimplification.
