PRIME PERFORMANCE: THIS WEEK’S BEST TRANSFORMATION TIPS & LIFE-HACKS

I trained in the psycho-dynamic model of coaching, which focuses a lot on the unconscious drivers behind behaviours, so I’m completely aligned with Mastery author Robert Greene when he talks about the value of observing people closely and interpreting nonverbal cues. Spend 8 minutes paying attention to this video and the ROI will be huge.

I’m a huge believer in the importance of values, which is why I feel you all need to read the latest blog of modern champion of Stoicism Ryan Holiday about how staying true to his beliefs led to him being  disinvited from speaking at the U.S. Naval Academy recently. A thought-provoking piece for any leader navigating complex ethical terrain.

If, like me, you're fascinated by what drives humans to push boundaries, don't miss this episode of Modern Wisdom featuring science journalist Alex Hutchinson. He breaks down the neuroscience of exploration and risk-taking, explaining how to design your life to maximize reward pathways without going too far. Perfect for leaders looking to understand the delicate balance between curiosity and recklessness.

THE PRIME PERSPECTIVE: THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP AND GROWTH

3 Home Truths & 4 Words You Need To Hear Right Now

I’ve had some powerful conversations with leaders over the past few weeks, including those participating in our first-ever Prime Movement Program cohort. There are consistent themes emerging each time, one of which is that so many of you have a drive that is the proverbial double-edged sword - both a strength and a risk factor for burnout.

In coaching terms, many of you are ‘insecure over-achievers’ - high performers who suffer from self doubt.

LESSONS FROM THE ARENA: REAL LIFE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES

Every week, I'll share real challenges from coaching experiences, offering practical insights you can apply to your own leadership journey.

CHALLENGE
“I'm the founder of a fast-growing start-up with 60 employees. We're hitting our targets, but behind the scenes I'm struggling with mounting stress. I try and keep my ‘game face’ on for my team, but I’m finding it increasingly hard, especially in the moment. I’m worried I’m letting them down and that it could undermine confidence in me as a leader."

MY GUIDANCE
First, let's unpack what's happening as there are complex layers in a situation like this. When anyone I’m working with tells me they're ‘stressed’, it's crucial to identify the specific triggers and resulting emotions. Only when that context has been established can you turn to action.
