Can the pressure to find your purpose actually make you less fulfilled? Inspired by a recent New York Times article on purpose anxiety , I explore why meaning doesn’t have to come from extraordinary achievements or one grand calling. We look at how curiosity, connection, contribution and everyday experiences can help us find purpose without turning it into another goal to achieve. Do the free Endu...

Some places give us the space to notice what matters. Reflecting on the Himalayas, I explore how new places shift our perspective.

Watching K2: The Last First got me thinking about the difference between achieving success and doing something that matters deeply to you alone.

From above Dingboche in the Himalayas, I reflect on why doing something hard can feel so meaningful. The cold, altitude and effort make reaching the top and the comforts afterwards all the sweeter. I explore how that perspective carries into business, leadership and appreciating the team around you. And why hard things deserve our respect, whether we’re climbing a mountain or building something th...

New research suggests that just ten minutes of very slow running can improve mood, alertness and aspects of executive function. After taking a side trip to Pema Choling on our first day trekking to Everest Base Camp, I found myself thinking about the different ways we restore our capacity. Recovery doesn’t always mean stopping - sometimes it’s movement, curiosity, connection or simply changing the...

My husband’s ownership of dinner offers a simple lesson in accountability. Owning a task means taking responsibility for the planning as well as the doing. I explore how clear expectations help us stop micromanaging and rescuing. And why sharing goals and progress helps people see where they fit and take ownership.

Waiting for certainty can keep us stuck when change asks us to move. I explore how taking a step, asking questions and learning as we go builds confidence. We look at when “the way we’ve always done it” needs to be questioned. And why celebrating micro wins helps us recognise progress while pursuing bigger goals.

From growing up on an Irish farm to seeking adventure abroad, I’ve always wanted to explore what’s possible. A serious cycling accident challenged that ambition and changed the course of my life. I share how rebuilding shaped my vision for treating the whole person and helping people thrive. And why meaningful potential starts with the things we want to return to, or finally pursue. UPCOMING ROTAR...

Accountability starts with our values, daily choices and the people who matter. I explore how these three circles shape the leader we want to become. Using the idea of “holding the card,” I explain what it means to own a task from planning to completion. And why defining what good looks like helps people take ownership without constantly checking back. UPCOMING ROTARY ECLUB EVENTS https://events.h...

I ran 270 kilometres from Sydney to Newcastle simply to see what was possible. That capacity grew through small steps, repeated long before the adventure began. I share how this experience shaped my work on courage and confidence with young women in Navy Cadets. And why stepping forward into the unknown is how we start discovering what we can do.

Agreement in a meeting doesn’t always mean alignment on the goal. I explore why unclear expectations leave people busy but heading in different directions. More output only helps if it moves us towards what matters. Discover how 10X thinking can sharpen your focus and help you let go of tasks that dilute progress.

Resilience isn’t endless pushing. It’s having enough capacity to pause, make a decision and adapt when life asks something different of you. In this clip, I share a simple 90-day reset: release one task you’re doing simply because you’re competent at it, schedule one thing that renews your energy, and strengthen one foundation before pressure tests it. What would you make room for in the next quar...

How stable are you when the stakes increase? I share what running 270 kilometres taught me about building capacity. We explore the role of practice, mindset, support and recovery in strengthening resilience. And why coping at a cost is a signal to rebuild, rather than keep pushing.

Rebranding my clinical business has done something I didn’t expect: it’s brought back my curiosity and energy for work I’d become used to managing. In this clip, I explore Fuel the Spark , how we protect the source of our energy, meaning and purpose. You don’t need a major project to begin. Sometimes it’s a small reminder of who you’ve helped, a win worth celebrating, or time spent doing something...

A leader told me she’d made a commitment to stop fixing everything for everyone else. It changed how she worked, and gave her more room to do the work that was hers to do. In this clip, I invite you to look at your own week. How often are you using your strongest skills, and how often are you simply keeping the to-do list moving? If you could keep only the hours where you’re irreplaceable, what wo...

My experiences in Nepal have reminded me how much of life opens up through connection, contribution and community. In this episode, I explore how the people around us shape our ambition, expand our perspective and influence what we believe is possible. We talk about relational accountability, the importance of honest challenge and building relationships we have the capacity to honour. UPCOMING ROT...

A day in Bhaktapur got me thinking about collectivism, belonging and how we measure a meaningful life. In this episode, I explore what Nepalese traditions prompted me to question about our focus on individual achievement. I reflect on how service, connection and contributing to something bigger fill our own impact cup. What changes when we ask not just what we can achieve, but what becomes possibl...

New PwC research reveals a growing gap between the pace of workplace change and the support people receive to navigate it. Are employees really resistant to change, or are we asking them to adapt without giving them the resources to succeed?

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says he won’t let anyone outwork him- and there’s something compelling about that mindset. Hard work, discipline and grit create an advantage, but what happens when your advantage depends on continually spending a finite resource? In this episode, I explore why sustainable high performance isn’t about endlessly doing more, but building the capacity to create greater impa...

What if high performers don’t need perfect balance, but the ability to rebalance ?
