  • 94: ThinkWORKS 94 How To Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick.
    Jan 12 2026

    Most New Year resolutions don’t fail because people lack motivation — they fail because intent never becomes structure.

    In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore how to make resolutions that actually stick by starting with vision, defining where you want to be by year’s end, and then working backwards into realistic steps and milestones. We look at why planning isn’t about rigidity or control, but about clarity, momentum, and choice — and why writing things down still matters more than most people realise.

    If you want this year to feel different because you thought differently, this episode is for you.

  • 93: ThinkWORKS 93 Have a Plan!
    Jan 5 2026
    Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they never turn intent into a plan. In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I unpack Chapter 4 of You 2.0: Build Yourself BetterHave a Plan — and explore why plans aren’t about rigidity or control, but about creating momentum, choice, and resilience in a messy world. We look at why vague goals keep us stuck, how simple planning sharpens thinking without killing creativity, and why a good plan should guide you rather than trap you. If you’ve ever felt busy but not progressing, inspired but unfocused, or capable but stalled, this episode is for you.

    Suspend Your Disbelief – Why Belief Comes Before Change

    Ever notice how fear quietly talks us out of trying, long before we fail?
    In this episode, I explore why self-belief isn’t fluff — it’s the foundation of every meaningful change.
    We look at how the brain avoids pain, clings to old stories, and convinces us we’re “not that good anyway.”
    You’ll learn how to suspend disbelief, borrow confidence from your own past wins, and act as if — just long enough to get moving.
    Because before you can change your world, you have to start by believing you can.
