Back to What Matters

The past few months gave me something I didn’t know I needed, space.

Space to slow down.

Space to reflect on my own leadership.

Space to notice what truly makes a difference when working with leaders and teams.

What became clear to me is this:
growth doesn’t come from doing more.

Clarity shows up when we create space to listen: to ourselves, to our teams, and to what’s really happening.

And impact is strongest when leadership is anchored in self-awareness, not just results.

As this new year begins, I’m stepping forward with renewed energy and intention to lead with awareness, choose courage in moments of uncertainty, and help leaders and teams grow from the inside out.

No big declarations.

Just a deeper commitment to what matters most.

As a leader, where do you need to create more space to gain clarity this year?

“If leadership is influence… and influencing isn’t my strength, can I still lead?”

I get this question a lot.

Many leaders believe influence means being charismatic, persuasive, or always “on.”

That if it doesn’t come naturally, leadership might not be for them.

Here’s what I’ve seen, again and again:
the most impactful leaders aren’t the loudest in the room.

They’re the most grounded.
Influence doesn’t begin with convincing others.

It begins with knowing yourself.
When leaders are clear about who they are, what they stand for, and how they show up, people feel it. 

Trust grows. 
Safety forms. 
Followership happens.

Authenticity is magnetic.

Not because it tries to impress but because it’s real.

You don’t need to perform influence.

You need to embody it.

So if you’ve ever doubted your ability to lead because influencing isn’t your “core domain,” remember this:
your presence, values, and self-awareness may already be influencing more than you realise.

As a leader, are you trying to act influential or allowing your authenticity to lead first?

Seeing What We Usually Miss


This horn in my hand was a key element in an organisational workshop from Barry Oshry.

It represents a pause.

A moment out of time.

A chance to step away from the action and see what’s usually invisible.

In organisations, most challenges don’t come from bad intent.

They come from unseen dynamics: roles, pressures, and system forces quietly shaping behaviour.

When the horn is sounded, we stop reacting.

We look at the undercurrents driving the system.

And suddenly, what felt personal becomes understandable.

Good people.

Good intentions.

Yet patterns repeat until leaders create space to see the system, not just the individuals.

That’s the power of stepping “out of time.”

Not to assign blame  but to build awareness.

Because when leaders can see the invisible forces at play, they stop fixing people… and start leading systems.

As a leader, when was the last time you paused long enough to see the hidden dynamics shaping your team?

Before the week gets loud, pause.

Not to plan more.

Not to push harder.

Just to notice.


What’s been pulling your attention lately?

What’s been quietly asking for space?

Sometimes the most useful thing we do on a Monday
is choose where our energy goes before the week chooses for us.

What deserves your attention this week and what are you finally ready to let go of?

“A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius.”


Just a quiet mid week reflection. 


Ironically, Focus is my 10th CliftonStrength.

I don’t think about it often.

And it’s funny how easily I get distracted by the very things I need to focus on.

Too many priorities.

Too many open loops.

Too much noise competing for attention.

This reminded me of something simple:

Focus isn’t about forcing productivity.

It’s about noticing where my attention goes and choosing it more intentionally.

So this week, I’m not trying to do more.

I’m choosing attention.


A reflection to sit with:

👉 Where is your attention going and is it aligned with what truly matters right now?

互补 (hù bǔ) - to complement one another; each person completes the other.


This idea sits at the heart of the work I do with teams.

In every CliftonStrengths workshop I facilitate, I see the same shift.

When leaders realise that differences aren’t problems to solve but strengths meant to be 互补, something changes.

Judgment turns into understanding.

Tension gives way to appreciation.

And teams stop working around one another and start working with one another.

Strengths conversations aren’t about labels or perfection.

They’re about creating a shared language.

A way to understand why we think, feel, and act the way we do especially under pressure.

When teams truly embrace 互补, trust deepens.

People feel seen.

And performance follows naturally.

This is the work that energises me helping leaders create clarity, connection, and confidence by recognising how each person completes the whole.

If your team fully embraced 互补, how differently might they show up and perform together?

Hello! It’s Friday.


The kind of Friday that reminds us, we survived the week,
learned a thing or two,
and hopefully we didn’t take ourselves too seriously.

Work gets done.

Leadership continues.

And sometimes the most productive thing to do… is pause.

Wishing you a good coffee,
a lighter heart,
and a weekend that recharges you not your inbox.

Happy Friday. 👋

Sometimes, you’ve got to be the thing you never had.


Many of us didn’t grow up with perfect examples of leadership.

No clear blueprint.

No instruction manual.

And maybe that’s the point.
Leadership doesn’t come with a manual.

You become it.

You lead the way you wish you were led.

You listen the way you once needed to be heard.

You create safety, clarity, and trust because you know what it feels like when they’re missing.

That’s not weakness.

That’s earned wisdom.

The leaders who make the deepest impact aren’t the ones who copy a model.

They’re the ones who choose to be intentional…
to learn, reflect, and show up with courage especially when it’s uncomfortable.

Sometimes, becoming a leader means rewriting the manual starting with yourself.


So here’s the real question:

What kind of instruction manual are you becoming for those who follow you?

Unboxing What Was Already There


30 leaders.

One room.

And a lot of honest conversations.

Facilitating the UnBOX Your Strengths workshop reminded me why I believe so deeply in strength-based leadership.

Not because it’s trendy.

Not because it’s positive.

But because it gives leaders permission to stop pretending.

I watched leaders recognise themselves, sometimes with relief, sometimes with surprise.

I saw “weaknesses” reframed as overused strengths.

I saw quiet confidence grow when people realised they didn’t need to lead like someone else to be effective.

Strength-based leadership isn’t about fixing people.

It’s about revealing what’s already working and learning how to use it with intention.

When leaders understand their strengths: They lead with more clarity.

They relate with more empathy.
And they create teams where difference becomes 互补 (hù bǔ - to complement one another).

Today was energising not because the room was loud but because it was honest.

And every time I run this workshop, I’m reminded: The best leaders don’t add more layers. 

They unbox what’s already inside.


If you were to unbox your strengths fully, how might your leadership shift?

Why matters more than what.


Don’t have kids just because you want to save a marriage.

Don’t open a restaurant because you’re hungry.

Don’t start a business because you hate your job.

Because emptiness can’t be fixed with chaos.
And fear can’t be healed with distraction.

I’ve seen this pattern play out, in life, in leadership, in organisations.

When big decisions are made from a place of escape, they often become the very thing we later want to escape from.

New roles.
New strategies.
New initiatives.
Same unresolved why.

As leaders, we’re constantly deciding: what to build, what to change, what to start next.

The real work isn’t just choosing what to do.

It’s being honest about why we’re doing it.

Are we acting from clarity or from discomfort?

From purpose or from pressure?

Because when the why is rooted in truth, the path has resilience.

When it’s rooted in running away, the cost shows up later.


Before your next big decision, ask yourself:

Am I doing this for my truth or am I doing this to run?
