ISSUE 35 26 MARCH 2025 | READ ONLINE Hi Reader, What happens when 200+ top workplace leaders gather to discuss the future of leadership, impact, and change? You get raw conversations, bold ideas, and an undeniable reminder that the world of work is shifting fast. Last week, I was privileged to speak at the OHS Leaders Summit in Australia.

ISSUE 30 5 FEBRUARY 2025 | READ ONLINE Hi Reader, If you had told me two weeks ago that I’d be spending eight days in a hospital bed, I would have laughed and said, “I don’t have time for that.” And yet, the universe doesn’t ask for permission when it decides you need to stop. For eight days, I’ve had no choice but to pause. No work, no planning, no endless to-do lists. Just stillness. And in that stillness, I had to sit with a question I thought I had already answered: What does purpose...

ISSUE 27 8 JANUARY 2025 | READ ONLINE Hi Reader, Have you ever felt out of sync with the rhythm of your life or career? Like you’re trying to sprint through a season that’s asking you to slow down or waiting impatiently when everything around you feels dormant? Here’s the thing: Life and leadership are cyclical.
