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

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

How do we make time for rest and recovery in a high-performance culture? How do we support the needs of individuals without compromising the goals of the team? And how do we reconcile self-care with sustainable success? These are the questions I’m asked often, and honestly, I’ve asked them of myself too. In many workplaces,

A few years ago, I signed up for the Bear Grylls “Survive the Highlands” course. Five days in the wilds of Scotland, simulating survival conditions with a group of strangers, 12 men and me, and my oldest friend, Adam. It was muddy, uncomfortable, exhausting… and one of the most illuminating experiences I’ve ever had. It

Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 This year’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is connection. A simple word that carries incredible weight when it comes to our wellbeing. We’re hyper-connected-but-often-disconnected, and when mental health takes a dip, the instinct can be to retreat further into ourselves. But what if one of the most powerful tools

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that energy, mood and motivation are the foundation of sustained high performance. And I didn’t learn that in a textbook—it’s something I’ve lived, tested, and refined through personal experience and my work with thousands of people over the last decade. In this video, I share the story behind
