A question for you to consider – are your behaviours contributing to the burnout of people in your organisation? It’s a powerful question to reflect on. Most leaders I work with care deeply and role-model plenty of positives, but often there are a couple of small habits that quietly send the opposite signal. How Leaders […]

Last week was a phenomenal one – events in Nottingham, Bradford, and then Edinburgh. At one of these events, I spoke to a woman who told me the most valuable thing she does when she’s stressed or overwhelmed is to stop. Pause encourages progress. It’s not procrastination or avoidance; it’s a way to cut noise

If you care deeply about your people, it stands to reason you’d care just as much for yourself… right? Too often, the opposite is true. Some of the most committed leaders, CEOs, CPOs, CHROs, founders, and senior managers regularly put their own wellbeing at the bottom of the list. That’s the paradox of the self-neglecting

As we approach the summer break, I’ve been reflecting on one of the most important questions facing leaders today, particularly those in senior HR roles: Is your organisation setting a sustainable pace of work? It’s no secret the way we work has changed. The pace at which we work has accelerated, breaks have reduced, boundaries

Almost 10 years ago, I stood on the TEDx stage and shared a message I believe is just as relevant now as it was then: we need to stop obsessing over appearance and start focusing on what our bodies can do. Prioritising our health, not our appearance, our mental and physical wellbeing, over external “conformity”.

We live in a time where there’s no shortage of wellbeing advice. Everywhere you turn, someone is telling you how to eat, train, sleep, recover, and live. Keto vs. vegan. HIIT vs. Zone 2. 5am club vs. slow mornings. It’s loud, it’s crowded, and frankly, it can be confusing—even overwhelming. So here’s the message I

I recently came across a concept that made me stop and think. I was listening to Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom podcast when he discussed the idea of ‘rest ethic’. Not as something to replace work ethic, but to sit alongside it. Something we should value, talk about, and celebrate just as much within our workplace

I recently delivered a keynote and masterclass on Cadence and personal sustainability to an asset management firm. Sustainability, both at an organisational and individual level, is a key focus in that industry, and I wanted to share with you one of the ideas that really resonates across sectors: Rocks and pebbles. A simple – but powerful
