ENDURES with Suzanne Rath

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 ? Inspired by an off-trail adventure article from Chamonix, I explore what we can learn from going off trail in leadership- growth, discovery and even a clearer understanding of what really matters.

Four weeks after finishing Larapinta, I was preparing for the Sydney Marathon. Then our dog Willow was diagnosed with cancer, and our plans changed very quickly. In this clip, I reflect on the ambition–capacity gap: what happens when you still care deeply about your goals, but life changes how much you can hold. How do you stay aligned with your ultimate summit while letting the immediate plan cha...

A friend told me she’d become the chief organiser of everything. It made me think about the Let Them idea: what happens when we stop managing what other people could take ownership of? In this episode, I explore the space that opens up when we let others contribute and give ourselves permission to work in our own genius zone.

What do the films, books and music you return to say about what you value? I’ve noticed I’m drawn to stories of people pursuing something significant. In this episode, I explore how the stories we consume can reflect our ambitions, and shape what we believe is possible.

Sometimes stepping away gives us the perspective we can’t find while we’re busy doing the work. While I was away, I realised there was a thread running through my book, my work and many of the goals I’ve pursued: significance. In this episode, I explore the difference between achievement and significance, and why accomplishing more isn’t necessarily the same as doing something that matters. UPCOMI...

Caring deeply about a cause doesn’t mean you have to give your whole life to it. How do you choose where your skills, experience and conviction can make the greatest contribution? I explore the overlap between what matters to you, what you do well and what others turn to you for.

AI can generate answers, analyse information and recommend actions, but who takes responsibility when it gets things wrong? In this episode, based on a recent study by IBM, I explore why human judgement, critical thinking and accountability matter more than ever as AI becomes part of our everyday work.

Gallup has found that managers account for at least 70% of the variation in employee engagement across teams. But what happens when your team is connecting primarily through a screen? Remote work doesn’t automatically disengage people. It does, however, remove many of the incidental conversations through which trust, belonging and relationships once developed naturally UPCOMING ROTARY ECLUB EVENTS...

How much valuable thinking have you already created- but never turned into anything? While working through years of notes in Notion for my book, I realised just how much information I had accumulated: ideas, frameworks, podcast transcripts, research, stories and half-developed concepts. I wasn’t short of material. I was surrounded by it. But information only becomes knowledge when we make sense of...

What if failure isn’t the opposite of success, but an essential part of achieving it? Inspired by Thomas Edison’s approach to experimentation, I explore why accountability isn’t about guaranteeing results, but owning what happens next. From business leadership to ultrarunning, we need to create environments where people feel safe to try, fail, learn and adapt. UPCOMING ROTARY ECLUB EVENTS https://...

Loss can teach us to pay closer attention, but it can also make us anxious, cynical and slow to trust again. In this episode, I explore the difference between useful vigilance and worry that steals the present, both in life and in leadership. Learn from what happened, strengthen your systems, but don’t make today’s people pay for yesterday’s pain. UPCOMING ROTARY ECLUB EVENTS https://events.humani...

We celebrate grit, perseverance and the determination to keep going. But when is it detrimental? Inspired by Ernest Shackleton, I explore what endurance means when the original goal is no longer the right one. From ultrarunning to business leadership, knowing when to change direction can take as much courage as pushing through. UPCOMING ROTARY ECLUB EVENTS https://events.humanitix.com/iran-is-not-...

Are we using AI to unlock human potential, or simply to make organisations cheaper? Workday's Max Wessel argues that AI-driven job cuts reveal a crisis of imagination in leadership. What if the real opportunity isn't removing people, but freeing them to do more meaningful work? In this episode, I explore how leaders can turn efficiency into capacity, develop their people and rethink what's possibl...

AI is creating extraordinary efficiencies, but what happens to the capacity it gives us back? As Oracle cuts roles while investing heavily in AI, and Wipro talks about redeploying thousands of people whose capacity AI has freed up, I explore the leadership decision behind productivity.

Being back on track doesn’t mean everything is finished, it means knowing what matters next. In this episode, I reflect on catching up, regaining momentum and preparing for my quarterly ENDURES™ Pause & Reset. I explore 3 catalysts: Activate Genius, Fuel Spark and Fortify Strength. Plus, why heading to Mission Beach to recharge is how sustainable momentum is built. Pause & Reset free session onlin...

In this short clip from an interview with Shane Guna, we look at why low leverage tasks feel urgent but stall your business. I share my reflection practices for staying anchored to his real priorities, and how DiSC training reshaped the way I think about behaviour versus personality. The conversation closes with a look at how my team channels personal goals into charitable giving for causes they c...
