The Paradox of the Self-Neglecting Leader

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 […]

Prioritising Health, Not Appearance: A Decade On, the Message Still Matters

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”.

Why We Must Celebrate Rest Ethic Alongside Work Ethic

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
