You Got You

I spent years managing people before I realised I hadn't learned to lead myself.

You Got You is where I share everything I wish I'd known for professionals navigating growth, identity, and what it really means to lead.

When did you last skip past how you were feeling and go straight into problem-solving mode?

Most of us do it automatically. It feels productive. But when you bypass the emotional layer, you don't lead more clearly, you just move faster toward the wrong thing.

Currently reading Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg, and this is the idea I keep coming back to: great communication starts with understanding what kind of conversation is actually needed and that awareness begins with yourself before it ever shows up with others.

What kind of conversation do you actually need right now? 🧡

How are you talking to yourself when things get hard?

That quiet voice, the one that shows up when you make the wrong call or feel behind, is already leading you. The question is whether it's leading you well.

Before the day gets loud, take 5 minutes. Open a journal. Ask yourself:

What kind of leader do I want to be today?

Not a target. Just an intention you can actually lead from. 🧡

What's the first thing that gets into your head every morning?

For most people, it's notifications. Someone else's urgency before the day has even started.

For most people it's notifications. Someone else's urgency before the day has even started.

Try this instead: 10 minutes of intentional input before you open anything else.

Read something that challenges you. Sit with one idea that's actually yours.

What you feed your mind first shapes how you lead for the rest of the day. 🧡

Leadership starts with you.

22/05/2026

What's the last thing you learnt that you actually put into practice?

Not highlighted. Not saved. Not shared as a quote. Actually used.

There's no shortage of leadership knowledge. But at some point, collecting ideas without testing them just becomes a very well-informed comfort zone.

Pick one thing this weekend. One idea, one conversation you've been putting off. Try it. See what holds up.

Leadership only becomes yours when you've lived it. 🧡

Most people don't have a productivity problem. They have an interruption problem.

The moment your phone lights up, your best thinking is already gone.

The fix? Protect your best hours.

Find your window, block it, and guard it like it's the most valuable thing you have.

Because if everyone else owns your best hours, you'll always be building their vision before your own.

What time of day do you do your best work? Drop it in the comments.

Two weeks into opening OTA Playhouse (a new project I'm currently working on), I ran a simple exercise with my team.

Each person wrote down one thing they learned during their first month. Then someone else read it out loud.

What happened next surprised even me.

The quiet team member who rarely spoke had written something profound. The confident one shared something unexpectedly vulnerable. And just like that, something shifted in how they saw each other.

This is the power of Appreciative Inquiry. Not ignoring what's broken. But choosing a different entry point – one that activates energy instead of draining it.

Most leaders try to fix what's wrong. But what if the culture you want already exists in your team and you just haven't surfaced it yet?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀: 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

When you're the person everyone turns to, it feels like responsibility. A call from a board member on a Sunday? You pick up. A message from a team member at 9pm? You reply.

You tell yourself it's leadership. It isn't.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Then comes the burnout. It creeps in quietly as irritability, as restlessness, as a hollow feeling at the end of days that should have felt full. My team felt it before I admitted it to myself.

𝗦𝗼 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:

↳ I told my team, "Unless it's life or death, it can wait. And if you think you can handle it, you probably can. I trust you."

↳ Then I proved I meant it. I stopped texting them on their days off. New ideas get written down and brought to the next meeting.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.

So every weekend, I put my phone away. I choose the stillness, the people I love, and the rare discipline of doing nothing, a space just for myself.

If you're someone who finds it hard to switch off, this one's for you.

You're allowed to rest. Even if people still need you. Even if the to-do list isn't finished.

Personal Leadership isn't a personality trait you either have or lack.

It's a daily practice of knowing your values, your voice, and your non-negotiables and bringing that consistent self into every room, every role, every transition.

But what happens when you wear so many roles for so long that you stop knowing who you are underneath all of them?

The hollow feeling at the end of a productive day.
The 4am wake-ups.
The loneliness of holding space for everyone while no one holds it for you.

The antidote isn't a big overhaul.

It's small, repeated moments of return.
A walk where your thoughts finally catch up with you. A morning swim. Or just this. A smoothie, a dog, and stepping away from performing for a while.

Any practice that creates space where you are not performing for anyone.

The method doesn't matter as much as the commitment to having one.

Because your capacity to show up for others comes down to one thing: you.

And that has to be protected.

What does your version of this look like? 👇

And the cost is paid in identity…

You switched roles at least five times this morning. But who are you underneath all of them?

Strategist. Facilitator. Problem-solver. Encourager. Decision-maker.

Wearing multiple hats in a day is costing you more than you think. The versatility is real. The skill is genuine.

But here's what nobody says out loud that constantly becoming whoever the moment needs has a cost.

And that cost is paid in identity.

I wrote about it, the hollow feeling, the 4am wake-ups, the loneliness of holding space for everyone while no one holds it for you. And more importantly, what to do about it.
