What does sustainable high performance really look like?

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams sits down with Tobias Nwenwu, Founder of Wolfpack Fitness, to explore the foundations of professional performance — from nutrition and sleep to discipline and long-term habits.

For busy professionals operating under pressure, this conversation goes beyond fitness. It’s about cognitive performance, energy management, resilience and consistency.

We discuss:

• Why nutrition directly impacts cognitive flexibility

• The difference between motivation and discipline

• Why consistency beats intensity

• The role of sleep in creativity and decision-making

• Practical non-negotiables for busy professionals

• Sustainable habits that build long-term success

If you want to build a healthy business, you must first build a healthy foundation.

Trauma flashbacks can feel completely real. They are not simply memories. For many professionals, they affect performance, relationships, leadership and wellbeing long after the original event.

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Fran Nguyen, Trauma Counsellor and TRTP practitioner, about complex PTSD, workplace bullying, professional pressure and how trauma is stored in the subconscious mind.

Drawing on decades of experience across the UK, Hong Kong, Pakistan and Australia, Fran explains:

• Why PTSD is not limited to military experience
• The impact of trauma on families
• Why some therapy approaches do not work for everyone
• How TRTP differs from CBT and EMDR
• How guided imagination helps turn off traumatic “video loops”
• What recovery can look like for professionals

Confidence is not something you perform. It is something you build internally, especially when professional life feels uncertain or pressured.

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams is joined by Maria Newman, coach and NLP Master Practitioner at Maria Newman Coaching, to explore how professionals can silence the inner critic and develop confidence that holds up in difficult conversations, decision-making, leadership, and client work.

They discuss self-awareness, the know, like, trust framework applied to yourself, reframing self-talk, and practical ways to respond rather than react when you feel challenged.

Innovation is one of the most talked-about ideas in professional services, yet one of the least clearly defined. For many leaders in regulated and high-trust environments, innovation can feel abstract, risky, or overly associated with technology rather than credibility and client trust.

In this episode of Muhami Matters, host Chris Adams, Founder of Muhami and CJA Consulting, is joined by Zena Cox, Operations Director at IdeasUK, to explore what innovation really looks like in practice, particularly within professional services and regulated industries.

Together, they discuss why innovation is not about brainstorming sessions or chasing trends, but about implementing ideas that add real value. The conversation focuses on how organisations can innovate in a structured, human-centred way, while balancing risk, compliance, and business-as-usual demands.

• The difference between creativity and innovation
• Continuous improvement as the foundation of credible innovation
• Innovation in regulated and professional services environments
• Balancing innovation with compliance, risk, and trust
• Why defining a clear end goal is essential
• Listening to clients as the driver of meaningful change
• Managing failure, learning quickly, and building psychological safety
• Whether organisations need innovation teams or innovation mindsets
• Measuring innovation through outcomes rather than activity
• A practical 90-day approach to launching innovation effectively

Zena shares insights from her experience in highly regulated sectors, including pharmaceuticals and government, and explains how organisations of all sizes can build innovation capability without damaging credibility or trust.

This episode is essential listening for leaders, lawyers, consultants, and professionals who want to stay relevant by delivering better outcomes for clients, teams, and organisations, without unnecessary hype.

Innovation can feel abstract - or risky - in regulated, high-trust environments. But it doesn’t have to be.

In this trailer for Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Zena Cox (Operations Director, IdeasUK) about making innovation practical: focusing on implementation, defining the end goal, and building the right structure so ideas don’t disappear after the brainstorm.\

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with international life coach and TEDx speaker Katrine Horn about why so many high-performing professionals feel like they are falling short, even when they are doing objectively well.

Katrine shares a powerful reframe: feeling like a failure is often not about capability or effort. It is about the expectations we place on ourselves, and the stories we attach to outcomes.

You will hear practical ideas for building sustainable success, including:

• Sourcing self-worth from within rather than external approval
• Shifting from “being the best” to “being at your best”
• Why self-care is a business strategy, not a reward
• How to reduce pressure while still pursuing ambitious goals
• Small daily habits that protect energy and prevent burnout
• “It’s not because I can, that I have to” as a leadership mindset

This episode is for business owners and professionals who want to grow with clarity, capacity, and resilience.

You're Not Failing – Your Expectations Are

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams is joined by coach Katrine Horn to explore why high-performing professionals often feel unsuccessful despite consistent effort and progress.

The discussion focuses on expectations — how they are shaped, why they can become unrealistic, and how they influence our sense of self-worth and achievement. Katrine offers a thoughtful perspective on redefining success, reducing comparison, and creating healthier measures of progress.
