Having responsibility isn't always a choice, taking it always is

When we allow ourselves to be governed by the scroll, the notifications and the likes, enslavement is inevitable

A narrow running path. A reflexive “sorry”. And an unexpected reminder about kindness, difference and the quiet ways we apologise for taking up space. In a world that profits from division and disconnection, this reflection explores what it means to lead - and live - from a place of grounded authenticity.

Just as our bodies can surpass the limits set by our minds, our minds can surpass those set by our feelings and beliefs

As the masks fall away, what remains of us? Spending time with my mum as she lives with dementia has offered unexpected lessons about honesty, identity and the futility of trying to reinvent ourselves year after year. With 2026 upon us, this reflection invites a different question: less about becoming “better” and more about becoming truer.

True peace is the kind that can be found in noise and turmoil just as easily as it can be found in silence and stillness

We make decisions every day. Some are small. Others quietly shape the course of our lives.

In this reflection, I explore why decision-making isn’t just about having the right information, but about being anchored in what truly matters.

If we're not anchored to a vision for our future, we will be blown around like a leaf in the wind

You never get judgement from those ahead of you, only those behind you

To be successful, choosing the right company should be about inspiration, not comparison

A simple line from a client conversation that’s been echoing all week: in my business, my learning and, well, life. This post explores why sitting with discomfort, instead of escaping it, might just be the fastest path to growth.

The extent of our growth is limited only by our intention and our commitment to stay the course

Reality checks, after all, are really heart checks… with a hint of humour to keep us grounded.

Second chances don’t come around every day, so when they do, it's important to take full advantage of them

There are three pet peeves of mine that hit hard. And no, these aren’t the kind of annoyances you can fix with a quick font change or running them through a PDF editor. They’re behaviours and attitudes I’ve come to see — in myself and others — that quietly erode growth, potential and trust.

Contentment comes from accepting your fallibility, your status as creation and your ultimate end

Leaders are human first. Leaders cannot afford to be prisoners of their past — or captives of someone else’s story. If we live trapped in either perpetual guilt or perpetual victimhood, we are not free. And we lead from fear, not clarity.

The caterpillar without struggle will never experience the joys of flight

Gratitude is waking up each morning knowing that I've been given another day for a reason and acting on that

We tend to think that life only tests us with depravation or scarcity when, in fact, abundance could also be a test
