Healthspan vs Lifespan
I’m seeing more people use the term Healthspan over Lifespan, and I for one am all for it. Life has traditionally been viewed chronologically, where certain events or aspirations are defined by age or stages of life. The problem with this viewpoint is that we’ll wait for arbitrary milestones in order to do something, but […]
Being fairly rewarded
Career success should come with a share of the created value. Yet most professionals don’t push for this. Why? Because society has conditioned us to always go above and beyond, without questioning if we’re being fairly rewarded.

Time
The funny thing about life is that it’s equally true that you have all the time in the world and yet no time at all. (thank you Judi for teaching me layout in high school). .
Never giving up
People say you should never give up if you want to achieve something. But “never giving up” is a common factor to winning big AND losing big. FWIW, I like to advise going “all-in” on a worthy pursuit, but keep assessing new information to determine if you should continue or stop. .

Keep reaching out
It’s not just you. Everyone is living a busy life. But we lose sight of that. On some level, we’re aware that others have lots on their plates. Though when we need to connect with them, we think our request will go to the top of their list. How many times have you deprioritised someone […]

What’s your opinion on?…
Every year, I stand in front of amazing leaders and tell them: Pick a side. 🔹 Is love a choice? ❤️💔 🔹 Is it ok to ghost a job interview? 👻💼 🔹 Is it ok for managers to date their staff? 💑⚖️ 🔹 Should Australia align with China or the USA? 🐉🦅 🔹 Should adult […]
