A weekend well spent
Last weekend I attended the School of Life Conference in LA. 3 days of focused learning on emotional intelligence and self-understanding in one of my favourite parts of the world. Yes please!
Clarity + Kindness + Humility = Leadership taken to the next level
I’m the world’s biggest believer that first and foremost, as leaders, ‘be yourself’ is the best possible advice, but there are three certain attributes which, particularly when exhibited together, take a leader from good to great.

Let’s talk about Imposter Syndrome
Writing this post whilst flying back from a business trip in Mumbai, imposter syndrome has never felt more real. Surrounded by business people, confidently tapping away at their laptops, I’m in comfy active-wear, no-make up and very occasionally getting that fleeting feeling like I have no license to be here, or I’m here by luck, accident or some fluke. Let’s be clear, it’s me that’s making me feel that way, nobody else, and it’s very irrational. It simply isn’t the case that I don’t deserve to be here. It’s an illusion in my mind.
My Coaching Journey
I decided to formally qualify as an Executive Coach after more and more people told me that I should do this. It was that simple. These people were mostly those I was already coaching, for example my team and peers at Les Mills or Argos, and even colleagues (who had become friends) from previous businesses who I had kept in touch with and coached ongoing. I have been lucky enough to work with executive coaches myself for many years now, and on more than one occasion they suggested that this could be something I pursue. This was a sign!
Make resilience your top priority
You’re smart, you’re experienced, you feel like you’ve got this (on some days), but how you turn up as a present, engaged and energised leader time and time again will be the difference between good and great. An apt subject for January 1st, a time of new beginnings and promises made to ourselves.
