Looking back on the week we just shared at the Lead with Clarity retreat, I keep coming back to the importance of setting intentions. On day one, in our welcome circle, I asked everyone to bring one or two intentions for the week. Not goals to tick off, but intentions—ways

I’ve noticed how powerful it is to declare what you want. The moment you do, it changes how you see the world. When you set an intention, you start filtering everything through it.

Fear is something that every single one of us lives with. It shows up in different ways. Sometimes as hesitation, sometimes as doubt, sometimes as a voice telling us we’re not ready or not good enough. At my recent Lead With Clarity retreat, we spent a full day exploring fear.

Most people move through life without declaring anything. They drift. They react. They hope things change. But when you declare what you want, you stop drifting. You start creating.

When I look back, the times I felt most at peace weren’t when I hit big milestones. They were the times I slowed down, trusted myself, and let go of the pressure to prove anything. Success can be part of your life. So can peace. But one doesn’t depend on the other.

During day three of my Lead with Clarity Retreat, we had a powerful session with my coach, Peter McCammon. One of the themes we explored was the relationship between hard work and inner peace. What really landed with me was the idea that peace and happiness don’t have to be

Leaders often hold competing commitments: a commitment to growth, and a hidden commitment to staying comfortable. Which one are you feeding?

On day four of my Lead with Clarity retreat, we tried something I’d never done before. Instead of treating it as “halfway through,” we reframed the first three days as one complete retreat. We reflected on the intentions we had set, the insights we had gained, and the shifts

Q1–Q3 are complete. I’ve set new intentions for Q4 in health, relationships, and business. What if it isn't the end of the year - it’s day one of a brand new year?

Hard work isn’t the problem. The energy you bring to it is. Work from fear → burnout. Work from passion → freedom. Peace doesn’t live at the finish line. You can choose it now. The quality of your thinking shapes the quality of your work.

If there's one thing Day 5 of my Lead With Clarity retreat reminded me of it's this: When I first started playing with the idea of declaring possibility, I didn’t realise how powerful it really was. For most of my life, I waited for things to happen before allowing myself to

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned on this journey is how useful it is to create distance between myself and my thoughts. On the final day of the retreat, we explored this deeply. We looked at the crazy, limiting thoughts that often run through our minds - those

The greatest thing you can create for yourself is clarity. Clarity in who you are. Clarity in what you want. Clarity creates certainty. And certainty creates unstoppable.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that being “busy” is normal. “I’m slammed.” “I’m time poor.” “I’m flat out right now.” These are the phrases I hear the most often. I used to say those things all the time when I worked at BBC Radio 1Xtra and Spotify. Everyone around me

The greatest internal skill you can build is when everything seems to be going against you, to still believe, respond and act from a place that everything is working out perfectly

A client said to me recently, “I just feel like I’m constantly chasing my tail. There’s never any time to think. I’m either in meetings or fixing fires.” He runs a successful creative agency. Talented team. Impressive clients. But he’s exhausted and so is his team. I asked

I stopped trying to build my business “online” because guess what? Real coaching relationships are created offline. They’re nurtured and grown over time. And I’ve had my best income months since then.
