Every time I chat with Denise, the conversation flows in the most energising way. This latest one was no exception!

We discussed the future of work, unpacking how organisations need to rethink leadership and wellbeing - not as buzzwords, yet as foundations for real, sustainable change. From reimagining the systems that shape our workplaces to the role of positive psychology in driving performance and care.

Denise also shared powerful insights from her own podcast and the incredible conversations she's having with today’s leaders. I'm really excited we're teaming up for an upcoming leadership series - our first collaboration together – watch this space!

Towards the end of last year, a few things happened that triggered my thinking around how we tend to make assumptions about others and about things around us.

One of these things was the 'hell yes / f*ck no' mantra, which I believe may lead to losing opportunities that may intiially not seem like a 'hell yes', though may become one later.

Thanks to Todd Kashdan, I have picked up five criteria, which I find useful when deciding what opportunities to pursue!

Similarly, there have been a few things that triggered my strength of counterpoint, particularly around categories and fitting in.

I would love to know your thoughts, what assumptions do you make? What categories do you put yourself in?

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Dan Weijer on my podcast, and it was a fabulous conversation.

We delved into deep and thought-provoking topics, exploring philosophy, wellbeing, determinism, and free will. The discussion was both wide-ranging and profound, touching on questions that shape how we think about life.

At the same time, we kept things engaging and practical, weaving in some fun practicalities that made the conversation both meaningful and enjoyable. It was a fascinating exchange, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
