  • What to do when you're told 'You're not strategic enough'
    Jan 22 2026

    Being told “you’re not strategic enough” can feel like feedback without substance.

    You might be working hard.
    Delivering results.
    Keeping things moving.

    So when you’re given this feedback, it can feel like:

    “Well, what exactly do you want me to do differently?”

    This kind of feedback statement, is really lazy if it comes with no direction on what ‘good’ looks like, but if we don’t have a clear picture of ‘good’ how do we know how to fix it?

    Here's how.

    Calm, intentional career advice that works.

  • Discomfort isn't a warning, sometimes it's an invitation
    Jan 9 2026

    Send us a text

    Every January, I try to do one thing that nudges me gently out of my comfort zone. It’s not a “new year, new me” reset. More often, it’s the thing I’ve been thinking about for a while, the idea that keeps resurfacing, the step I’ve been quietly circling, the change that feels uncomfortable but persistent.

    What I am re-learning is that the starting something new isn't the hard part, the sticking with it even when it feels hard is. Because it affects how we see ourselves when we suddenly become a beginner again. But, no surprise, it's consistency rather than bravery that is key

  • It's time to think the end-of-year sprint
    Jan 5 2026

    Send us a text

    In many organisations, there are people frantically trying to get everything finished before the festive break, burning themselves out for the price of a (very temporarily) empty inbox, so we end up collapsing into the break, exhausted.

    So, how do you close down the year without burning yourself out and restart the new year, without resentment?
