1. Succession planning deserves more attention.
One of the things that really got me thinking was the number of business owners who may not have a clear succession or exit plan. Building a business that can thrive beyond its current leader requires thinking about the future well before you need to.

2. Stress is something we need to learn to manage.
Tony Robbins reminded us that stress can control you, or you can learn to control your stress. We can't always control what is happening around us, but we can build greater awareness of how we respond to it.

3. Resistance can create resilience.
Joseph McClendon III challenged the way we think about resistance. We naturally want to remove the things that feel difficult, but challenge can also build capacity. Learning to work through manageable resistance can help us develop greater resilience for what comes next.

4. Take responsibility for the things you can control.
Gary Brecka’s message around taking back control of your health journey got me thinking more broadly about how easily we hand control over to circumstances. Whether it’s our health, habits, leadership or choices, taking responsibility starts with recognising where we actually have influence.

5. Clients don’t want to be sold to.
Kayla Itsines made a simple point that really resonated: clients want value, understanding and relevance. The best business relationships come from staying close to your clients, understanding what matters to them and finding ways to genuinely help.

6. We are born powerful.
Paul Siderovski’s message challenged me to think about how often we look outside ourselves for the answer. Leadership requires us to recognise and use the capability we already have.

7. Community matters.
Joseph described community as the number one biohack. Who we surround ourselves with shapes how we think, behave and grow. The right people can challenge us, support us and expand what we believe is possible.

You don't have to bring your best energy every day. But you do have to be present.

I attended the Fortuna One conference last week, and this was one of those reminders that landed differently because I was living it in the moment.

It was day two. I hadn't slept particularly well. My energy was low. And I was frustrated.

Because this wasn't just any day. I was about to see Tony Robbins, someone Ive looked up to and been inspired by for so many years.

I wanted to be buzzing. I wanted to soak up every second. I wanted to bring my best energy to the experience.

But then I caught myself. Because how often do we expect leaders to be “on” all the time?

The truth is, leadership isn't about bringing the same level of energy every single day. It's about bringing your presence.

Being willing to be there. To listen. To learn. To stay curious. To take something from the room, even when you're not operating at 100%.

And that's exactly what I reminded myself that morning. I might not have had the energy I wanted. But I could still be fully present.

You don't have to perform your way through every day. Sometimes you just need to be present enough to learn from it.

So I'm curious: What does “being present” look like for you when you dont have your usual energy?

And if you're thinking about what this looks like for your leaders and your team, let's talk.

You can’t keep developing everyone else and forget to develop yourself.

I attended the Fortuna One conference last week, and one of the biggest reminders for me came from something I tell leaders all the time: When was the last time you deliberately invested in YOU?

I took two days away from work to do exactly that. To listen. To learn. To be challenged. To sit in a room with people thinking differently.

With speakers including Steven Bartlett, Joseph McClendon III and Shelley Sullivan, there was certainly no shortage of big ideas.

But for me, the value wasn't just in what was said on stage. It was in giving myself permission to step out of my usual role as the person developing other people and spend some time developing myself.

Because leadership development isn't something we should only prescribe to our teams. We need to be willing to do the work ourselves.

So here's the question I'm taking away: Are you spending enough time developing yourself, or are you so busy developing everyone else that you've become the last person on your list?

I'd love to hear what you're doing to keep learning and growing.

And if you're thinking about how to build that same mindset into your leadership team, let's have a conversation.

The Hammer: Confidence Comes From Understanding

One of the best leadership analogies I've heard came from Jiing.

He described leadership like using a hammer.

Before the program, he knew the hammer could drive in a nail.

But afterwards, he understood why it worked.

That deeper understanding changed everything.

Because when you understand the tool, you're no longer limited to one situation.

You know when to use it.

How to adapt it.

And how to apply it with confidence.

Leadership is exactly the same.

Frameworks aren't designed to make leaders robotic.

They're designed to help leaders think more clearly, make better decisions and respond with confidence when the situation changes.

Watch Jiing explain why understanding the "why" behind leadership made such a difference.

✨Overcoming Objections & Closing with Confidence✨

What a powerful final fortnight with the Viridian PY Community as we brought the Sales & Human Connection Program: Advisers of Influence to a close.

We explored a simple but powerful reframe: objections aren't barriers. They're invitations to understand your client more deeply.

And closing with confidence isn't about pressure. It's about having the clarity and conviction to know that the decision is right for your client.

Across our final sessions, the group put these skills into practice - working through real scenarios, challenging their thinking and learning from each other's experiences.

Because confidence isn't built in theory. It's built in practice.

When you do the work in a safe room first, it shows up naturally in client conversations later.

So proud of the way this group has leaned in, challenged themselves and stepped into the human side of advice with intention.

If this sort of impact driven, human connection work resonates with you or your organisation, reach out and let’s chat ✨

October is when the year can start to catch up with us. The energy that felt abundant in January is looking a little different now.

Resilience isn't something you can simply ask your team to have more of. It's something leadership either builds... or drains.

In the first week of October, I'm rerunning one of our most popular live leadership workshops:

The Secret to Building Resilient Teams: 5 Strategies Most Leaders Overlook

In 45 minutes, we'll explore the five leadership strategies that quietly shape how teams cope, adapt and perform under pressure.

📅 Wednesday 7 October

Leaders Don't Need All the Answers: They Need the Right Framework.

One of the biggest myths in leadership?

That great leaders always have the answer.

They don't.

What great leaders do have are proven frameworks that help them navigate uncertainty with confidence.

Because leadership isn't about knowing everything.

It's about knowing how to think.

How to approach challenges.

How to structure conversations.

How to make decisions when the answer isn't immediately obvious.

That's exactly what Percy discovered through the Leadership Excellence Program.

The practical frameworks didn't just help her solve problems.

They gave her a process.

A structure.

A way to move forward with confidence… even when the path wasn't completely clear.

And that's where leadership confidence often comes from.

Not certainty.

Clarity.

Watch Percy share how having the right frameworks changed the way she approached leadership challenges.

Because leadership transformation isn't about collecting more information.

It's about developing practical tools you can apply immediately.

The best leaders don’t create followers. They create capability. 🪴

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of facilitating a Senior Leaders’ Breakfast with CPA Australia in their Queensland office, bringing together leaders from across the public and private sectors for a really open conversation about leadership.

And one theme kept coming back to me afterwards: Being comfortable being uncomfortable is an important part of leadership growth.

I talk about this with leaders every week. If you’re always comfortable, you’re probably not stretching. And if you’re not stretching, you’re probably not growing.

But I think there’s another part of the leadership equation that’s just as important. It’s not enough to be capable yourself. You need to be able to create capability in others. Because what’s the point of being the smartest person in the room if everything still depends on you?

Great leaders communicate in a way that creates clarity. They influence rather than simply instruct. They build confidence rather than create dependence. They give people enough support to succeed, but enough space to think and grow for themselves. And ultimately, they leave people more capable than they were before.

That’s the real leadership multiplier. Your knowledge matters. Your experience matters. Your expertise matters. But your impact is measured by what happens because of it.

Who becomes more confident because you led them?
Who became more capable because you believed in them?
Who can now do something they couldn’t do before?

I loved Daniel Robb's takeaway from the morning: great leaders are comfortable being uncomfortable.

I’d add this: future leaders won’t just be measured by what they know. They’ll be measured by the capability they create in others.

A big thank you to the CPA Australia team for creating such a great space for the conversation, and to everyone who contributed so openly.

💡Now a question for you: are you building a team that needs you more, or a team that is becoming capable enough to need you less?

That answer might tell you more about your leadership than you think.

The Power of Clear Expectations.

One of the quickest ways to improve team performance isn't adding more meetings.

It's creating greater clarity.

Too often leaders assume people know what's expected of them.

But assumptions create inconsistency.

Clear expectations create accountability.

Xavier Cachia shares how one practical leadership lesson changed the way he communicated with his team.

By clearly defining what success looked like, conversations became easier, alignment improved and performance followed.

Because people perform at their best when they know what good looks like.

Leadership isn't about leaving people to guess.

It's about creating clarity that allows everyone to move in the same direction.

Sometimes the smallest communication shift creates the biggest performance improvement.
