In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on leadership and sharing three powerful lessons I learned from a surprising encounter with a high-profile guest who revealed their true character behind the scenes.
This experience challenged my perceptions of leadership and reinforced the importance of congruence, kindness, and responsibility in positions of power.
Here’s what I cover:
Congruence is Key – Why the best leaders are consistent both on and off camera, and how authenticity builds trust.Power Dynamics Matter – How leaders can elevate or diminish others through their behaviour and why awareness of this is critical.
Kindness is Leadership – The lasting impact of treating others with respect, regardless of the situation or power dynamic.
Throughout this episode, I’ll explore what this encounter taught me about leadership and the responsibility we all carry, whether in families, workplaces, or communities. I’ll challenge you to reflect on your own congruence and the power dynamics in your life, urging you to lead with empathy and intention.
If you found value in this episode, I’d love it if you could share it with someone who might benefit from these lessons. Let’s create a world where leadership is driven by integrity, not ego.

In this episode, I take a step back to explore why we work so hard and how to make sure it aligns with our true purpose. In a world where busyness often replaces clarity, we’ll question what it really means to work “smart” and how to avoid the pitfalls of burnout.
Here's what I cover:
Purpose-Driven WorkI challenge you to think about what truly gives your work meaning and why having a sense of purpose is essential to keep you motivated.
Balancing Hard Work and JoyExplore the importance of enjoying aspects of your work without losing balance, even if it’s not “following your passion.”
Signs of Burnout and PreventionI discuss the signs of burnout, with insights from experts like Gordon Parker, and share why checking in with yourself is crucial.
Working Smart over HardLearn how to shift from “hard work” to “smart work” by identifying your most valued priorities and focusing on impactful, effective actions.
Throughout this episode, I share insights from my journey and offer practical questions to help you clarify why you work so hard. Whether you’re in a career, leading a team, or balancing multiple roles, these insights will help you work with purpose and stay energized.
