Many of us thrive with structured goal setting, but sometimes those frameworks can feel more like pressure than progress. Fluid Visioning offers an alternative approach to goal setting that blends creativity, curiosity, and flexibility to help you grow without the overwhelm.

Most of us say we want to “live by our values,” but if someone asked you to list yours — could you?
Understanding your personal values isn’t just a nice self-reflection exercise; it’s a powerful foundation for better decision-making, authentic leadership, and long-term wellbeing.
In this post, I explore what happens when you move beyond theory and actually name your values — and how using the Values Identifier Tool helped me uncover what really drives my choices, energy, and growth.

If you’ve ever felt out of alignment, unsure about what truly matters, or curious about how to make more values-led decisions at work and in life, this one’s for you.

Ever notice how your mood shifts when your desk is clear, the light feels right, and there’s a touch of beauty in the room?

It isn’t just in your head. Neuroaesthetics — the study of how our brains respond to beauty — shows that colour, order, and design can change the way we think, feel, and focus.

In this piece I share how I’ve shaped my own working environment for clarity, presence, and creativity, and why even five minutes a day can change the way you work.

We all have our go-to introduction — name, job title, where we live — a tidy set of “social tags” that slot us neatly into the world. But what if we flipped it? What if we introduced ourselves through our values, passions, and quirks — the WHO instead of the WHAT? In leadership, networking, and human connection, the way we introduce ourselves shapes how people see us (and how we see ourselves). Here’s why it matters, and how to rethink your opening line.

We talk a lot about productivity, time management, and high performance at work—but what if the real secret to doing great work is getting into flow? Also known as being “in the zone,” flow is that state where you’re fully focused, energised, and performing at your best. It’s not hustle. It’s not burnout. It’s deep, meaningful engagement with the task at hand. In this post, we’ll explore what flow at work actually feels like, how to recognise it, and why aligning your tasks with your natural energy rhythm might be the most underrated productivity hack out there.

Don’t Believe Everything You Think. What if the biggest thing holding you back... isn’t true? Byron Katie’s simple set of questions changed how I thought about myself and how I responded to others — and now I coach others to do the same.

Your default listening style is shaping your workplace culture.

You’re not just listening — you’re either fixing, winning, or learning and only one of those builds empowered, capable and psychologically rich teams.

When did creativity start needing a KPI?
Lately, I’ve heard people say, “If I’m not going to be great at it, what’s the point?”
Well… joy? Curiosity? A gardenia-scented pasta mishap you’ll laugh about for years?

This one’s for the perfectionists, the quit-before-you-start crew, and anyone who’s forgotten that being “bad” at something might actually be where the good stuff begins.

Turns out, quitting your job (or being made redundant) can feel like a breakup — even when it’s the right move. Here’s how the five stages of grief helped me make peace with my career change.
