The five-chapter arc of strategic change

What if the most powerful strategy you ever create isn’t for a business, but for your own life?

In this conversation, I turn the microphone on myself as strategist and author Niko Canner interviews me about how to bring strategic thinking into everyday choices.

We explore why busyness can be the enemy of purpose and how small, deliberate moves made moment by moment unlock greater agency and performance. I share how a personal family crisis forced me to reclaim control of my time, energy and focus, and how those lessons now shape the way I coach leaders and design my own days.

You’ll hear how to connect long-term aspirations with the micro-moments that define each day, creating a strategy that is both intentional and flexible. Niko and I also examine how individual strategic habits ripple out to transform teams and entire organisations.

Listen in if you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start making wiser choices at work, at home and everywhere in between.

“All progress begins with dissonance.” — Niko Canner
