Realising I didn't listen, because I was too busy getting my point across
Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }},
Last week I named the skill most leaders never learn on the job. This week I got specific, four ordinary moments that reveal when it's missing, on a completely normal Tuesday.

None of them make you a bad leader. They're habits built under pressure that worked well enough, for long enough, that nobody questioned them. I know because I've caught myself in at least one.

Watch this week's Take 5 as a mirror, not a scorecard. You might recognise yourself in one of the four, and that's exactly the point.

REFLECTION QUESTION
“Which of the four moments do you recognise in yourself, not to feel bad about, just to notice?”

THIS WEEK'S TIP
Before you explain something again, pause and ask what's actually landed so far.

The skill nobody put on your job description
Coaching · Speaking · The Leadership Mirror · Contact   Some places make it easy to breathe. The real work is finding that same pause mid-challenge. Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, Two leaders came to me this month with the same problem. Team members distracted, underperforming, dragging the whole team down.One asked me to coach the team members directly. The ...
Most burnout doesn't look like burnout
  Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, Most burnout doesn't look like burnout from the outside. And if you're the kind of leader I work with, it probably doesn't feel like it either. You're still turning up. Still getting things done. But somewhere underneath all of that, you are running very fast and no one can see it. This week on Take 5 I'm busting the workload myth and naming what's act...
Who are you being?
Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, All month we've been circling one idea. Authority isn't about how you look. It's about who you're being. When you're worried about how you're coming across, managing the image, trying to be who you think you're supposed to be, you're leading from the wrong place. That's the source of everything we've talked about this month, the performing, the drifting,...
