Self-leadership is your first move

Ready to lead yourself like it matters?

IGNITION POINT Transform your personal development Self-Leadership is Your First Move Hi Reader Ever found yourself caught up in everything external? Clients, deadlines, notifications, performance... and more. And even though you're productive and maybe even successful, it no longer all feels like it's heading somewhere meaningful. That’s where self-leadership comes in. Not the leadership of others – but the kind you practise with yourself. Because this isn’t a title or a role you're given,...

Turn passive drift into strategic progress

Why waiting for the next milestone could backfire

IGNITION POINT Transform your personal development Turn passive drift into strategic progress Hi Reader We often think we're waiting. Waiting for the next week or month to start. For things to quiet down. For clarity to arrive. But time doesn't pause while you wait. We're always moving, whether we realise it or not. So what if that feeling of being "on hold" isn’t a pause, but drift? Away from your goals, behind the pace of others, and deeper into delay. Drifting? Every meeting you join,...

The strength in straightforwardness

Don’t have all the answers? Use this instead

IGNITION POINT Transform your personal development The strength in straightforwardness Time to read: 3 minutes Hi Reader Early in my leadership career, I used to feel like I had to know all the answers. If the team asked something I didn’t know, I’d freeze. And then usually waffle my way through an answer and convince myself that I'd sounded credible. We all knew I hadn't.

But it's more than strategy docs and vision boards. There's a framework I've been using with clients that's resonating, so I want to share it. Three distinct types of clarity that shape how you show up and operate. When they’re aligned, you’re grounded in who you are, clear on where you’re going, and focused on...

How to connect strategy and execution

What’s keeping your strategy and execution disconnected?

IGNITION POINT Transform your personal development Connecting strategy and execution Time to read: 4 minutes Hi Reader Has your week felt productive? And did it move you closer to your strategic aims? It's an important distinction. Too often, we can close out the week with a lot ticked off, yet the distance to our bigger vision hasn't really shifted. Because it's easy to mistake relentless activity for meaningful momentum, until weeks blur together and our strategic progress stalls. A Missing...

Clarity comes before optimisation

Before you optimise, check where you're heading

IGNITION POINT Transform your personal development Clarity Comes Before Optimisation Time to read: 4 minutes Hi Reader Few things drain you faster than giving everything to work that doesn't feel like yours anymore. I regularly meet ambitious founders and leaders who are working harder, getting more efficient, yet clarity about their direction remains frustratingly elusive. They pour energy into streamlining processes, perfecting their strategy, even optimising team structures, but still...
