Read MoreFew of us are good at waiting patiently. But it's unavoidable, and we can turn it to good use.
Read MoreGreat leaders know their behaviour, words, and decisions must match up with their core values. It's the guiding star they can always rely on even in times of great complexity and difficulty. Too often, however, we say and do things based on our egos, emotions or what someone else wants, or make decisions based on expediency. It doesn't feel right but sometimes we don't think we have a choice. Here is my take on how you can resolve this challenge.
Read MoreDo you ever in frustration try to change other people? You want the best for them, but it doesn't go well?
Read MoreMoney—it’s a necessity, but what happens when our love or fear of it keep us trapped in comfortable misery? This thought-provoking video dives into how to free ourselves from attachement to money.
Read MoreHave you ever looked at your life and felt like something’s missing? It’s what I call comfortable misery—everything looks fine, but deep down, there’s a craving for more purpose and meaning.
If this resonates, you’re not alone. Every hero’s journey starts here, with the decision to stop settling and seek something deeper.
Read MoreHave you ever felt stuck, wondering if there’s something more for you? I've been there. Deep down, I knew I was meant for something different, something bigger.
Read MoreRecently, I found myself overwhelmed by fear and self-doubt. My mind raced with thoughts of inadequacy and potential failure, imagining all the things that could go wrong.

Read MoreA mentor can be such a gift because we’re not alone. There is someone who will listen, give us room to think, and maybe share a story of their own struggles. Here are some reflections.
Read MoreEvery hero experiences a big fall before they begin their ascent upwards. They can’t prevent or stop falling because it is a crucial part of the journey. Learning how to fall well is the best.
Read MoreA few times in my life I’ve got super excited about a new direction in my journey, like securing an investor for a new business, being appointed MD of a consutliing firm, or starting my own mentoring firm. After a brief honeymoon, however, challenges would always appear thick and fast. In those moments I sometimes wished I’d never bothered and just want to throw my bike in the bush!

Read MorePain is a part of life we cannot avoid. But we don’t have to suffer.
Read MoreWhen we hit midlife we often find the goals we’ve been pursuing don’t seem to matter much anymore. That’s a recipe for disillusionment. But what if that was just the next step of the hero’s journey?
Read MoreMy new series.
By mid-life we’ve probably achieved most of what we dreamed of in our youth yet instead of satisfaction we often feel disappointed, anxious or bored, asking ourselves, ’Is this it?’ The first half of life has come to an end and we must undertake a hero’s journey (even if we don’t feel like heroes) to find our way to the second half where a new meaning, purpose, and set of values awaits us.
