  • Discomfort isn't a warning, sometimes it's an invitation
    Jan 9 2026

    Every January, I try to do one thing that nudges me gently out of my comfort zone. It’s not a “new year, new me” reset. More often, it’s the thing I’ve been thinking about for a while, the idea that keeps resurfacing, the step I’ve been quietly circling, the change that feels uncomfortable but persistent.

    What I am re-learning is that the starting something new isn't the hard part, the sticking with it even when it feels hard is. Because it affects how we see ourselves when we suddenly become a beginner again. But, no surprise, it's consistency rather than bravery that is key

    Calm, intentional career advice that works.

  • It's time to think the end-of-year sprint
    Jan 5 2026

    In many organisations, there are people frantically trying to get everything finished before the festive break, burning themselves out for the price of a (very temporarily) empty inbox, so we end up collapsing into the break, exhausted.

    So, how do you close down the year without burning yourself out and restart the new year, without resentment?

  • The challenges of being a mid-level leader
    Jan 5 2026

    Send us a text

    There is a silent crisis sitting at the heart of many organisations, where mid-level leaders are crumbling under the pressure of trying to be all things to all people.

    For years, the middle layers of leadership have been framed as the dependable anchor of our organisations, the ones who “know how things really work,” they’re often the experienced steady hands who keep the wheels turning.

    Their competence acts as a kind of camouflage, and that’s precisely the problem, as we're not looking so hard for the warning signs that they need help.
