After two weeks off I am officially back 😃

No posting.
No trying to think of something clever to say on LinkedIn.
Far less time staring at my phone.

And, as someone who is definitely not an influencer, I have to say… it was lovely. 😂

I just got back from Bali after a brilliant couple of weeks of sunshine, some incredible views, proper time to switch off and probably more vitamin D than I’ve had all year.

It wasn’t completely glamorous though.

Bali belly made a late appearance and gave us a slightly different experience for the final part of the holiday… 😬😂

But overall, having some genuine time away from the day-to-day grind was exactly what I needed.

And today it was very much back to reality.

First day back and straight into it with six sessions.

So I think it’s fair to say I’ve been thrown straight back into the working week and the usual routine.

Easing myself back in has officially failed. 😂

I’m feeling recharged, energised and ready to make the most of the final few months of the year.

There’s plenty happening, particularly around leadership, manager development and helping teams perform better, and I’m excited to get properly stuck back into those conversations.

So, if improving the way your managers lead, communicate, coach or create accountability is something that’s on your agenda between now and the end of the year, feel free to drop me a message.

Here are a few considerably nicer views from the last couple of weeks for you to enjoy. 🌴☀️

“Treat people how you’d like to be treated” is incomplete leadership advice.

The person in front of you may need something entirely different.

A fast, verbal, big-picture leader might believe they are being clear.

But to a colleague who wants detail and thinking time, the message can feel rushed and vague.

A careful, written communicator may think they are being thorough.

To somebody who prefers the headline and a live conversation, it can feel slow and heavy.

Neither person is necessarily wrong.

But repeating your preferred style more forcefully isn’t communication.

Before an important conversation, consider;

How much information will help them understand?

Do they process by talking or by reflecting first?

Which channel will help them retain and act on the message?

What will help them hear the truth without losing the point?

Adapting your delivery doesn’t mean lowering the standard, avoiding honesty or becoming artificial.

A sports coach can maintain one team standard while recognising that every player won’t receive information in the same way.

Different route.

Same honest message.

Before your next important conversation, choose one communication dial to adjust.

Knowing what good leadership looks like isn’t the same as being able to deliver it under pressure.

If your preferred response disappears when the room becomes tense, it probably needs more practice.

Try this:

CHOOSE — Identify one recurring pressure moment.

REHEARSE — Practise the response you want available.

REVIEW — After the next attempt, examine what held and what needs adjusting.

This isn’t about becoming robotic.

It’s about giving yourself a better response to reach for when pressure pulls you back towards old habits.

Stop collecting frameworks.

Start practising leadership.

What behaviour would you benefit from rehearsing?

Someone can be sitting in the meeting and still be in completely the wrong condition to perform.

That doesn’t necessarily mean they lack commitment or capability.

They may be carrying physical fatigue, emotional frustration, mental overload or a lack of clarity about what matters.

Before demanding better performance, investigate the capacity supporting it.

Try this 90-second check before your next important meeting:

PHYSICAL — What is my energy level?
EMOTIONAL — What state am I bringing?
MENTAL — What deserves my full attention?
PURPOSE — What outcome genuinely matters?

Availability tells you where someone is.

Readiness tells you what they can access when the pressure arrives.

Which capacity most affects your readiness?

Sometimes we call it a confidence problem when it’s actually a clarity problem.

“We need our managers to be more confident.”

Maybe.

But if somebody has recently stepped into management and nobody has properly shown them how to:

Have a difficult conversation.

Challenge poor performance.

Set clear expectations.

Give useful feedback.

Hold somebody accountable.

Or manage people who think and work differently to them…

Why would we expect them to feel confident?

Confidence usually comes from doing something, learning from it and getting better at it.

Not from being told to “back yourself more”.

I think organisations need to be careful here.

If a manager is struggling, the question shouldn’t only be:

“Why aren’t they more confident?”

It should also be:

“Have we actually given them the clarity, tools and support to do the job well?”

Because sometimes the person doesn’t need a confidence boost.

They need some proper development.

Absolutely loved getting the opportunity to speak at the World Corporate Games on Friday.

20 minutes.

A room of people competing, working and performing.

And a chance to talk about something I’m hugely interested in:

What can we genuinely learn from elite sport about performing better at work?

One of the biggest things?

Recovery.

Elite performers don’t just think about how hard they can push.

They think about:

How they train.
How they fuel.
How they manage pressure.
How they recover.
And how they make performance sustainable.

Compare that with a lot of corporate life…

More pressure → work harder.
More stress → keep going.
Feeling depleted → push through.

One of the ideas we explored was:

Stress + recovery = adaptation.

Remove the recovery and eventually you’re just accumulating stress.

We also looked at the four areas of the Corporate Athlete framework — physical, emotional, mental and spiritual — and got people thinking about where their own energy is being built and where it’s being depleted.

It was great fun making the session interactive and seeing people stop and reflect on how they approach their own performance.

Sport has played such a big part in my life, so I always enjoy opportunities where I can connect that world with leadership, work and human performance.

A brilliant event to be part of.

And one question worth taking away:

Is recovery actually part of your performance strategy… or just something you do when you’ve got nothing else left to do?

Great hockey, great people, and an even greater cause. 🏑🧠
On Sunday, I had the pleasure of playing for the Huddle Invitational 11-a-side team against Ashford, an event created by Lloyd Ets Starley for The Huddle Movement.
It was all about bringing the hockey community together to champion men’s mental health, build new friendships, and have some fun.
That being said, playing our first full match since the season ended in peak heat was... an experience. ☀️🔥 There was an incredible amount of running, very little shade, and a strong collective realization that off-season fitness is a myth! 😅
Joke aside, it was brilliant connecting with old friends and new faces across the sport. Huge credit to Lloyd for pulling together such a meaningful day.

I was meant to be in Rotterdam for the start of the hockey masters World Cup today 😓

But it was not meant to be!

Due to a change from the World Cup organisers, our team (the 2nd team) was pulled from the tournament!

We won’t get into that!

It’s a bit annoying, but we move and continue to focus on getting that cap next year!

Instead, I am off to Goodward to explore the grounds, catch up with a mate and explore some exciting opportunities!
