How many times have you sat in a room full of senior people, thinking about making a great point, but never actually speaking up?
In this episode, I show you how to take that step without sounding arrogant, making it personal, or risking your credibility.
You have to do your homework, find a small insight that drives a big improvement, and bring it into the room in a way that gets heard… without putting anyone’s nose out of joint.
Along the way, we’ll have a bit of fun as I tell you about how I became one of the Three Blond Gumbies, the golf tip that added 30 metres to my drive, and my all-time favourite opening line for a high-stakes meeting.

Season 1 · Episode 429
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 22:56
You never know what to expect when mentoring CEOs.
Some run the most boring businesses you could imagine, but they generate enormous value. Other companies may seem sexy on the outside, but struggle to make ends meet.
One CEO watched his revenue fall off a cliff with the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen.
Today I’m sharing eight lessons from eight years of mentoring CEOs; and you don’t need to be in the CEO’s chair to use them!
It’s everything from strategic clarity, to not getting distracted by shiny things, to backing your talent.

How to Prioritise as a Leader: 7 Ways to Stop Doing Too Much
Season 1 · Episode 428
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 • Duration 22:56
The hardest thing I ever tried to do as an executive was to stop the sh!t that had already started: it gets a life of its own.
On top of that, new work is being dreamt up all the time, further adding to your prioritisation nightmare.
A recent article from The Economist argued that too many people are shockingly bad at prioritisation, and that the root cause isn't process; it's behaviour.
I couldn't agree more. In this episode, I'll unpack what the research says, then give you seven practical ways to get on top of your prioritisation problems, starting with the one thing most leaders never get clear on: value.

Why Transformations Fail: 5 Reasons, and 3 Ways to Cope When It's Done to You
Season 1 · Episode 427
Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 17:02
Most transformations don't transform all that much. They cost a lot of money, they suck a huge amount of the organisation's time and energy, and no one really checks to see if the benefits were ever delivered.
If you're not on the executive team, the whole thing just happens to you. But in reality, you're not as powerless as you might think.
In this episode, I dig into what transformation really is, why so few programs actually earn that label and, most importantly, why so many transformations fail.
I unpack a recent cover story from Harvard Business Review on the false alignment trap, which provides a really useful starting point for the discussion; I then add five more common reasons for transformation disasters; and I finish with three practical ways to get a hand on the wheel when transformation is being done to you.
How to Fix a Team Performance Slump: 3 Cracks to Check First | Moment 192
Sunday, September 27, 2026 • Duration 03:51
You may think that rolling up your sleeves and doing your team’s work is leading from the front. But it’s actually a bad habit that’s diluting your people’s capability.
Every time you get involved in the nitty gritty of your people’s work, you’re trading away the opportunity to build capability for achieving a fast, high-quality result.
The job at every level is different. You need to be clear on what your job is, and you need to stay in your lane and do it!
If you want to take a deeper dive into how to support your team without robbing them of the opportunity to build their skill and capability, have a listen to Ep.391: Do Hands-on Leaders Get Better Results?.

5 Reasons Why One-on-Ones Are Your Secret Weapon
Season 1 · Episode 425
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 19:37
Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky says he doesn't believe in one-on-ones. I couldn’t disagree more, so in this episode I show you why sometimes, even the best CEOs get this one wrong.
Chesky says the 1:1 model is flawed. Not only does he not do them, but he asserted that almost no great CEO does either. To support his point, he quoted Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, backing a similar view.
Here's the problem: I think it's wrong. Not a little bit wrong, but fundamentally wrong for the vast majority of leaders who aren't running a flat, product-driven tech company.
I spent thirty years perfecting the one-on-one, and it's the single most powerful tool I ever had as a leader. In this episode, I take Chesky's argument apart, point by point, and give you five reasons why the one-on-one is still your secret weapon.
