WHY I WRITE THESE
🔹 Why 1 Minute?
Ever start reading something that sounds really interesting… then get bored and bail halfway through?
Me too. I have neither the time or the patience for fluff – and I bet you don’t either.
That’s why I started writing the kind of content I’d actually finish.

1 Minute Power Reads™️ are fast, sharp insights drawn from real coaching conversations – about the challenges, decisions, and dynamics high performers face every day.
They land quickly, make you think, and give you something to act on – all in under a minute.
Because powerful ideas don’t need to test your patience.
🔹 Why I share them
Because I believe confident, fulfilled leaders create stronger teams, better decisions, and a more energised world.
I hope you enjoy them and they fuel your leadership goals, achievements and impact.
