When was the last time you sat alone with your own thoughts, on purpose?
Most founders, CEOs and executives live in two spaces. Family and work. They never build a third space, somewhere to step outside the noise and think clearly about how they want to operate.
I recorded this episode alone on a hill in the Peak District for exactly that reason.
For years, everything for me was aggression. Point and shoot. Nothing I achieved was ever enough. Every time I hit a goal, I stretched it and kept chasing. That changed when my son was born.
In this episode I cover:
- Why high achievers need a third space, and how to build one.
- Why hitting the goal rarely brings the fulfilment you expect.
- Why I deliberately set my goal at ten times the original.
- Why you are meant to live in the messy middle if you lead anything.
- The client who told me feeling this locked in was “scary”, and what that word really means.
- Why so many leaders keep asking the wrong questions.
- Why performance coaching should be driven by principle and science, not frameworks lifted from the internet
If you keep fighting your own head, you are not broken. You are inside the jar. And from inside the jar, you cannot read the label.
One action from this episode: put time for yourself in your diary this week. If it is not in the diary, it will not happen.
Built For Pressure works 1:1 with founders, CEOs, executives and managers to build the mind, body and business needed to perform when it matters.
