Excellence is about meeting high standards and doing your best work. But perfectionism is about something else entirely - it's about fixing what we believe is defective in ourselves. The perfectionist doesn't just want to do great work; they need to be perfect because they feel fundamentally flawed. Every setback becomes an indictment of self, not just a project that needs improvement.
We're quick to defend ourselves with "that wasn't my intention." But when was the last time you judged yourself by your actions instead of your intentions? Here's the truth: the people in your life can't see your intentions. They can only experience your actions. This is the intention gap—the space between what we mean to do and what we actually do. It's in this gap where relationships fracture, trust erodes, and cultures crumble.
Most of us were taught that success comes from having the right answers. But what if we've been focusing on the wrong end of the equation? In our rush to appear smart, competent, and in control, we've developed a habit of jumping to solutions. It's like carrying around a hammer and seeing every problem as a nail. The trouble is, not everything needs fixing – some things need understanding first.
In today's constantly shifting work environment, becoming a future-fit leader is essential for guiding your organisation towards long-term success. With many industries evolving rapidly and new technologies emerging ever-increasingly, developing the skills and mindset needed to adapt is more important than ever.

A growth mindset isn't just a concept; it's a practical approach that empowers you as a leader.
In the whirlwind of life, change is the only constant. Change is inevitable, whether it's a shift in your personal circumstances, a new direction in your career, or a transformation within your organisation. Yet, how we respond to change can significantly impact our journey, turning potential obstacles into stepping stones towards growth and success. By adopting a change mindset, we can transform our approach to change and leverage it as an opportunity for development, innovation, and resilience.
As we step into the New Year, instead of making and then trying to stick to resolutions and new goals try pondering a question that's both simple and profound: "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" This isn't just about novelty or ticking off new experiences from a bucket list. It's about growth, stepping out of our comfort zones, and embracing the unknown.
In today's world, people often use the words equity and equality interchangeably. However, while these two concepts are related, they are not the same thing. Equity and equality refer to different approaches to achieving fairness and justice, and understanding their differences is crucial.
Mental illness still receives a lot of stigma across our respective communities, and across society at a grander level. The roll-on impact of this is many people feel the need to hide, disguise, or mask their mental health.
Have you ever horrified yourself with your inability to apply what you know you should do to what you actually do? Welcome to the knowing/doing gap.
The last decade has seen a huge rise in the wellness industry with many trends emerging, some good, some not so good and some downright bizarre.
One of my colleagues recently asked me to join her for a quick coffee run and I gave my usual response of “no but can you grab a latte for me”. She asked me why I take so few breaks throughout the day and reminded me that we do promote for wellbeing for a living.
