SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
I'll be in Dubai next week (from Monday, February 10) delivering a leadership performance workshop. In keeping with TPM's belief in the power of community, I'd love to connect with fellow leaders while I'm there. If you'd like to grab a coffee, drop me a line at [email protected]
PRIME PERFORMANCE: THIS WEEK’S BEST NEWS, VIEWS & LIFE-HACKS
The first week of February is frequently where the good intentions of resolutions increasingly bump up against the harsh nature of day-to-day reality. Fortunately if you’re in that situation, I think I can help.
That’s essentially the root of the provocation in thought leader Rishad Toboccowala’s new book, Rethinking Work, but the real gift he’s giving us is this free platform of ever-evolving content to help us navigate the shock waves that are coming. Bookmark it now. Thank him later.
🎧 LISTEN How To Fix Your Negative Patterns
World-renowned philosopher and author Alain de Bottom features on the latest episode of Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom podcast, and it’s as rich a conversation as you’d expect. They cover so many subjects applicable to leadership such as why we can struggle to let certain behaviours go. I personally loved his concept of giving public recognition to moments of emotional breakthrough among others, which you can hear just after the hour mark.
THE PRIME PERSPECTIVE: THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP AND GROWTH
Headline: 4 Critical Insights From The World's Most Unique Performance Pioneer
In last week's newsletter, I highlighted the Huberman Lab episode with Josh Waitzkin as an early contender for best podcast of 2025. Since then, I've listened to it again, taking notes, and I’m going to go one step further and say it’s probably the best I’ve ever heard.
I’d urge all of you to listen and make your own minds up, but I also know many of you are time-poor, so as valued subscribers I wanted to share my most powerful take-aways.
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 in a senior role at a leading investment bank and I'm tired of getting generic advice about recovery and work-life balance from individuals who don't understand the reality of my role. Yes, I know sleep is important. Yes, I know I should take breaks. But when the markets are moving and deals are closing, that's not always possible. I need strategies that work in the real world, not some idealised scenario. How do you optimize performance when 'switching off' isn't always an option?"
MY GUIDANCE
We all have our triggers and I have to be honest and say this initially generated an emotional response from me.
