  • Why Your Outrage Does Nothing But Harm

    The outrage you feel at what certain leaders are doing right now? It comes from exactly the same place as the behaviour that's enraging you.That's uncomfortable. But it matters - because the pile-on, the condemnation, and the calls for heads to roll don't fix anything. They add to the problem.In this video, I explore why outrage - however righteous it feels - is toxic. Not morally, but energetically.

  • The Psychology Trap No One Warns You About

    We tend to assume psychology helps, neuroscience explains, and psychotherapy heals. Sometimes they do. But used too narrowly, they can also trap us inside a convincing story about ourselves that isn't actually true.

  • Fear: The Biggest Threat To Leadership - And How To Work Through It

    If you haven't been afraid — genuinely frightened — you haven't fully lived. Fear is woven into the fabric of human experience. It is not an aberration, it is not a character flaw. It's data.But when it raises its head in a leader, the implications can be far-reaching — and devastating. For you, for your team, and for the organisation you're responsible for.In this video, I explore why fear is the single biggest threat to effective leadership, where it actually comes from, and — more importantly — how to work through it rather than be driven by it.What we cover:— Why uncertainty is the true root of fear, and why that matters for leaders— The role of imagination in turning uncertainty into anxiety, stress, and paralysis— Why blaming your past is not a strategy — and what taking real ownership looks like— The two fundamental emotions, and what it means when fear is running your decisions— Three principles that give you back discretion over your own inner stateFear doesn't make you a weak leader. Letting it operate unchecked does.

Stop managing results and start leading yourself. Based on Chris Pearse’s "The Broken CEO," this podcast flips the script on traditional leadership. Most leaders struggle because they focus on the external—KPIs and processes—while ignoring the inner world of belief and ego.
