How many times have you told yourself:

"I'm going to do that."
"I really should get onto that."
"This year will be different."

And then… nothing changes?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde explores one of the biggest reasons capable people fail to create meaningful change: the difference between being interested in something and being truly committed to it.

Using a simple but surprisingly powerful story about homemade muesli bars, Julie unpacks the psychology behind why good intentions rarely lead to consistent action. She explores the "intention-behaviour gap"—the space between what we say we want to do and what we actually follow through on.

Drawing on the research of psychologist Peter Gollwitzer, Julie explains why people are dramatically more likely to achieve their goals when they move beyond vague intentions and make specific commitments about when, where and how they'll take action.

Whether it's your leadership, health, relationships or personal growth, this episode will challenge you to stop confusing wanting something with deciding to do it.

In this episode, we discuss:
The difference between being interested and being committed
The psychology behind the intention-behaviour gap
Why good intentions rarely create lasting change
How procrastination keeps capable people stuck
Why language shapes mindset and behaviour
The power of specificity, structure and accountability
Why clarity matters more than motivation
How commitment changes focus, energy and follow-through
Leadership habits that stay stuck in "interested" mode
Practical strategies to turn intention into action

This is a practical, honest and highly relatable conversation about self-leadership, accountability and closing the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
