Where to begin? When and how do we change?

“Where is your energy right now on a scale from 1 to 10?” A question I’ve asked clients a hundred times. Recently one gave me, not an uncommon answer but, an interesting one. He paused for a moment and then laughed slightly before saying, “I have absolutely no idea.” What surprises me is how often […]

The one Key Performance Indicator (KPI) your business is missing… And it’s costing you dearly

When you’re reviewing your leadership team’s performance, what metrics are on the table? Revenue. Margin. Pipeline. Retention. Possibly NPS or engagement scores. All important. All necessary. But here’s what’s almost certainly not on that list: whether the people driving those desired KPIs results are actually going to be able to sustain doing so. Whether the […]

You’re Paying Knowledge Workers for Their Knowledge. So Why Is Your Culture Sabotaging It?

One of my clients – a senior leader in people and culture at a large law firm – said something recently that stopped me in my tracks. We were talking about the culture of law firms and she looked at me and said: “When you think about it, everything we sell – our advice, our […]

Cross cultural high performance

A Neuroscience Lens on Culture, Communication, and Psychological Safety As more businesses expand globally, the technical challenges of growth are often easier to solve than the human ones. Writing from New Zealand, I see that New Zealand companies, in particular, are highly entrepreneurial. They move quickly, build strong product, and expand into global markets with […]

Why Emotional Intelligence Is More Valuable Than Ever — And What Leaders Need to Do About It

Why Are Human Skills Declining in the Workplace? The short answer: technology has made us better at communicating but worse at connecting. As AI takes over technical work, the human skills that remain, think… collaboration, trust, conflict resolution, and feedback, are like muscles. And those muscles are atrophying when they matter most. If you’ve been […]

Pushing Through Part II

When Pushing Through Stops Working For High-Performing Women: What To Do  [See Part I here] Turning biology and overfunctioning into dividends (without self-destruction) Part I covered three conversions: standards over tolerance, structured care over silent care, and commanded switching over mental overload. Part II finishes the picture with four more conversions— where the “hidden tax […]

Pushing Through Part I

When Pushing Through Stops Working For High-Performing Women: What To Do The hidden tax of female excellence (and how to turn it into dividends) High-performing women are often praised for the same behaviour that later burns them out. You tolerate. You push through. You don’t make it a drama. You carry the extra load, smooth […]

Authentic Positivity Isn’t Pretending Everything’s Fine – It’s Trusting That We Can Handle What Isn’t

Positivity often gets promoted like it’s a panacea: think happy thoughts, smile more, power through. But—authentic positivity is not about denying difficulty. It’s about trusting your capacity to move through challenge without falling apart. And that’s a fundamentally different energy. One is suppressive; the other is expansive. And only one truly fuels sustainable high performance. […]

Command, Not Focus (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1 The Real Skill Is Cognitive Control and Clean Switching Different brains, different defaults (and it’s never X or Y) Let’s stop pretending one attention style is “correct.” ASD tends to be detail-first (often described as a “detail-focused processing bias,” historically framed as weak central coherence). This isn’t “worse.” It’s often […]

Command, Not Focus (Part 1)

Why “Focus” Isn’t the Most Important Thing Let’s get one thing straight: attention switching has a cost. If you stop four times on a roadtrip, the trip doesn’t magically take the same time.
