Helping good leaders become great leaders

  • What is Here and Now? Be There.

    “In improvisation, there are no mistakes.” – Miles Davis I like to be 3 steps ahead. At least I thought I did. Before I started improv theatre I didn’t even notice how much I was doing it. How much I was anticipating what may or may not happen. I was constantly deciding ahead of time […]

  • On Getting The Results You Want

    On Friday I will be invited by my business school alumni network to discuss self-awareness and why developing more of it can help us get what we want. As I was pondering on what to share – as much can be said – and what will be both powerful and practical to discuss, I settled […]

  • Don’t Think About It The Old Way

    I remember how I felt when I started considering what else I might do with my career. As a young analyst working in Canary Wharf, the extent of my horizon did not go much further than Debt Capital Markets and a few associated divisions of the capital financing world. Because this was all I knew […]

  • The Hard Part of Looking Back

    I have realised that I have not written much over the past 2 years. As I reviewed and updated this blog and its format, I ended up reading a few articles I wrote more than 2 and a half years ago… It was a rather uncomfortable experience. Strange, to read one’s words a few years […]

  • Some Considerations Around Ego

    The word “ego” is commonly understood as referring to a part of the human psychological experience which is undesired, shameful, and dare I say evil. We understand ego as being built into us through our exposure to interpersonal, social and cultural experiences in our early years, and which we should aim to get rid of […]

  • Do Your Best And Get On With It

      In May this year, my father and I visited my great-uncles in the region of Haute-Savoie in France. Uncle Jean is 92, and his brother Uncle Joseph is 95 years old. I had not seen them for many years. It is quite moving to see family members you haven’t seen in a long time. […]

  • Why We Think

    I was woken up by an idea. I’ve been thinking about Thought for a long while, and this morning an entire stream of thinking showed up the moment I awoke. I spent 30 minutes snoozing and drifting, creating this article in my mind but feeling too good in my bed to actually get up and […]

  • If You Want To Change The World, Get Committed

    I have always wanted to be special. Throughout most of my childhood, I felt like I wasn’t, like something was missing, like I had nothing exceptional to offer. I was simply ordinary, destined to live an ordinary life. It was far from satisfying, but I just didn’t really think I could be extraordinary. I did not […]

  • Focus Is A Verb

    This morning, after engaging in a solid morning routine involving some Wim Hof breathing exercises and a cold shower, my wife and I sat down for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our first meal after a short 30-hour fast. We were sipping our tea, enjoying the aftermath of this intense start to the day, when she […]

  • Come To The Edge

    There is a short poem I love. Some sources attribute it to French poet and writer Guillaume Apollinaire, others to English poet Christopher Logue. It goes like this. “Come to the edge”, he said. “We can’t, we are afraid”, they responded. “Come to the edge”, he said. They said “We can’t, we will fall.” “Come […]
