Welcome to my Reflections

In many leadership conversations, politics is treated as a dirty word. “I don’t do politics.”“It feels manipulative.”“That’s not how I want to lead.” I hear this frequently from senior women leaders — highly competent, strategic, resilient women who have already proven themselves through performance. Yet, as they move into the most senior levels of organisations, […]

Becoming a better leader today isn’t about doing more.  It’s about becoming more present, regulated and alive. This Is Embodied Leadership. Most of the leaders I work with are already highly capable. They are intelligent, experienced, emotionally aware, and successful by any external measure. They know how to perform, decide, influence, and deliver. And yet, […]

What if leadership didn’t require us to leave parts of ourselves behind? What If Aliveness Was Your Leadership Advantage? These questions sit at the heart of my work. I’m curious about what becomes possible when leadership no longer comes only from drive, endurance, and performance — but also from the body, from emotional truth, and […]

After writing Learning to Trust Desire as Deep Discernment, I kept reflecting on the other side of the coin — the edge where desire can both illuminate and consume. Because not all desire leads us closer to truth.Some desire pulls us away from it. When Desire Is DangerousDesire becomes dangerous when it’s unconscious — when […]

Four hours on the road today, just me and my active mind.It never stops inquiring — always searching for the pattern beneath the story, the meaning behind the moment, the source of it all. My discerning, curious mind has been such a loyal companion. It protects, questions, analyses, and ensures I feel safe and live […]

Have you ever felt like you’re standing in the hallway of your own life — one door closing, another not yet open — and you don’t know which way to turn?That’s not failure or confusion. It’s the liminal zone — the space between identities, where the old is falling away and the new hasn’t yet […]

Understanding the States of Consciousness A number of years ago while part of a Coaches Rising course, I came across talk by Jim Dethmer on the 4 states of consciousness. He offered a version of this profound age-old wisdom on how we see life and therefore how we experience it. We are constantly moving between […]

Introduction: Expanding Capacity for Personal and Professional Growth In our earlier years, we focus on acquiring skills and capabilities to help us succeed in life. As I developed as a leader and human being, I realised that at some point, the growth slowed. The more knowledge I accumulated no longer brought the success I was […]

I think this question has been with me for as long as I can remember but it is really in the last 10 years that I have given it the attention it deserves, partly due to life offering me invitation and invitation to explore this more deeply. I will undoubtedly write many more posts about […]

Embracing Transitions as Invitations for Growth With autumn arriving, I feel the invitation to share the beauty and power of transitions. Nature teaches us this beautifully. Rather than rushing from one season to the next, we pass through autumn into our inner winter. This is a time for stillness, to reflect on what’s happening within […]
