Make working towards your goals fun. Mine involved gamifying the process. How about you?

Ready to turn your small steps into a winning streak? It’s time to turn small wins into a big ask.

You conquer a mountain one step at a time. Choose your starting step today.

Hands up if you’ve wanted to start something and didn’t follow through. I’ve been there. The issue wasn’t willpower—it was fuzziness and friction.

I gained momentum when I realised clarity shrinks procrastination. Read on for what clarity can look like for you.

When you feel stick, it isn’t about fixing everything at once. It’s about choosing one honest place to begin, then earning momentum.

Growth doesn’t mean demolishing your comfort zone. It means gently building new safe zones, one skill at a time.

Sometimes the hardest part of growth isn’t learning something new—it’s letting go of the roles and identities we’ve outgrown.

Perfectionism is learned. Children begin with curiosity and freedom. It’s only later that we internalize the pressure to “get it right.” The antidote isn’t to lower our standards—it’s to rekindle curiosity.

You don’t have to be flawless to help someone else. You just need to be a step or two ahead and willing to share the path.

Leaders who constantly run on empty eventually run out. Leaders who honour their limits create space for longevity and presence.

Partnership isn’t built on flawlessness. It’s built on reliability, intellectual honesty, and the confidence that you’ll tell the truth — especially when it’s uncomfortable.

Trust can be built over years and lost in seconds. And investors are finely tuned to pick up on the cracks. When you dodge mistakes, overcomplicate, or gloss over risks, you stop being useful — and you stop being trusted.

Investors aren’t in the market for a performance. They’re in the market for clarity.

Analysts who master these principles aren’t “better storytellers.” They’re better decision-partners — and that’s what investors really value.

When you show up with confidence, you’re not just doing it for yourself. Every time you sit at the table, put down your laptop, and ask a thoughtful question — you’re also changing the room.

Being present in those meetings mattered just as much as what I said. And presence isn’t about dominating the conversation — it’s about showing up with confidence and making your voice visible.

My breakthrough came when I realised that putting myself first wasn’t selfish. It was the start of building the resilience and presence I needed to show up fully for everyone else.

Learning to say no—firmly but respectfully—has been one of the most liberating leadership skills I’ve developed.

As I grew older (and hopefully wiser!), I realised something important: not everyone deserves a seat at my table.

Boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re a form of self-respect. And sometimes, that means drawing a clear line when I encounter toxic behaviours.

Self-care doesn’t have to be big or expensive. It just has to be consistent—and it has to start with you.

If Feedback Feels Hard for You…

Remember: every comment is data. It may not always be neatly packaged, but it can reveal patterns, blind spots, and growth opportunities you can’t see on your own.

The following change in mindset helped me start to see feedback as a gift, not a threat.
