ENDURES with Suzanne Rath

Many founders build their businesses by wearing every hat- but what happens when it’s finally time to take those hats off? In this episode, I explore why teams naturally gravitate back to the founder- or their nearest bottleneck- for answers, decisions and solutions, even after responsibilities have been delegated. We look at why constantly stepping back in can undermine ownership, accountability...

In this episode of ENDURES, I directly map out how each of my 3 core outcomes of unshakeable focus, unstoppable momentum & actualised potential map to the 3 core steps of EOS and how not everyone can improve- but we can recognise those team members who will!

The Ford Pinto story is a stark reminder of what can happen when we optimise for the wrong metric. In this episode, I explore why data and AI can inform our decisions but can never replace human judgement, emotional intelligence and values. AI can optimise a metric.

Steven Covey’s research shows that the most high performing companies have leaders who spend a lot of time thinking and planning- rather than executing. But how do we identify and grow the high performers on our leadership teams? In this episode I talk about how high performers follow the ENDURES steps.

After a life-changing injury, I discovered my then partner had been secretly grading our days as red, amber or green. It was confronting- but it revealed a powerful truth: we’re all keeping an internal scorecard.

In today’s episode of ENDURES , I explore the leadership lessons from mountaineer Nirmal Purja’s extraordinary quest to climb all 14 of the world’s 8,000-metre peaks in just 189 days- a feat many believed was impossible. We unpack why courageous leaders challenge accepted limits, how clarity inspires others to follow, and why long-term credibility is built through the capacity to consistently show...

Many coaches promise unlocked potential. Often they’re solving the wrong problem. It’s not potential that holds people back- capacity does.

We explore complex patient care, the challenges of business ( when you don’t want to run a business!) and her exciting new Gold Coast based pelvic health research- all while I have needles with electrical stimulation running through my leg!

I love adventure, growth and novelty- as many entrepreneurs and leaders do! But returning for the 3rd time to Nusa Lembongan, an island off the coast of Bali, reminded me of the comfort of being somewhere familiar- and the leadership lessons within that!

One of the most relevant leadership ideas published this week comes from Harvard Business Review : “3 Questions to Pressure-Test Your Priorities.” The article argues that when everything feels urgent, the answer isn’t better time management- it’s making fewer, higher-quality decisions by deliberately testing your priorities before committing to them.

One of about 4 of cast episodes I’ll be dropping in close succession- as due to travel/ internet connection etc, I’ve missed a few days! This inspired me to look at how- in leadership and life- there are some things we need to catch up on. And others we can simply let go of!

Today I share three leadership lessons from Tirta Empul: why setting your intention matters before taking action, why sustainable performance depends on returning to your source, and why the best leaders see themselves as stewards, building something that will outlast them.

AI can make us faster but it shouldn’t replace the human qualities that make us… us.

A Grab ride through Bali reminded me how often we’re so focused on getting somewhere that we forget to experience where we are. The destination matters, but it’s the conversations, scenery and unexpected moments along the way that shape our lives. In leadership, business and endurance, the finish line is fleeting, but the journey is where growth happens. If you’re always waiting for the next miles...

Rituals aren’t just traditions. They’re one of the most powerful leadership tools we have. In this episode, I explore how intentional rituals reduce anxiety, eliminate decision fatigue, and create consistency when pressure is high.
