When did being human become one enormous continuous improvement project?

Get up earlier. Exercise more. Eat better. Learn AI. Be more productive. Build your personal brand. Be a better leader, partner, friend and human being.

It's exhausting just thinking about it!

I'm a huge believer in personal growth, but I'm increasingly questioning the pressure to constantly become the best version of ourselves.

Because life has seasons. And sometimes, with work, family, health challenges and everything else competing for our attention, operating at our absolute best simply isn't realistic.

In this solo episode of Leading You, I explore why our expectations need to change when our capacity does, and why good enough really can be enough.

In this episode, I explore:
Why constant self-improvement can become another source of pressure
How social media can create unrealistic expectations
Why different seasons of life require different expectations
The important difference between doing your best and being at your best
Why ambition and relentless self-optimisation aren't the same thing
How being the CEO of You helps you make conscious choices about your time and energy
Three questions to help you reassess what you actually need right now

Perhaps your next chapter doesn't need another habit, goal or skill.

Perhaps it needs some editing.

You don't have to be at your best every day to be doing your best.

And sometimes, giving what you reasonably can with the resources available to you is enough.

What If Your Best Isn't Possible Right Now? And Good Enough - Is Enough.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to recommend an expert in your field, does your name come up?

The way people search for businesses, services and experts is changing. Google still matters, but increasingly, people are turning to AI platforms for specific recommendations.

So what does this mean for your business, personal brand and online visibility?

My guest on this episode of Leading You is Grant Ferguson, General Manager of award-winning search agency Caliber9, which specialises in SEO and the emerging field of GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation).

Grant explains why traditional SEO remains important, but also why AI search is placing greater emphasis on credible information, brand mentions, third-party authority and evidence of genuine expertise.

We explore what it takes to become more discoverable in an AI-driven world and why being excellent at what you do isn't necessarily enough if nobody knows about it.

In this episode, we discuss:
What Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is and why it matters
How ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI platforms are changing online search
Why traditional SEO is still important
The growing value of brand mentions, PR, podcasts and third-party credibility
How to create website and blog content that demonstrates genuine expertise
Why authorship, personal branding and online visibility matter
The risks of trying to manipulate AI search results
Three practical steps to improve your AI discoverability

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that you don't need to chase the latest AI search hack.

Grant's advice is to focus on being genuinely useful, making your expertise clear, building credibility beyond your own website and showing up consistently.

Because being good at what you do is one thing. Making sure people, and increasingly AI, know about it is another.

Forget Google Rankings. Will AI Know Who You Are? with Grant Ferguson

Five years ago, in the middle of Melbourne’s COVID lockdown, I heard the words: “You have Stage 3 melanoma, and it’s aggressive.”

At the time, I didn’t know whether I would make it to this five-year milestone.

Now I’m here. And I want to stop and acknowledge it.

This is a very personal episode of Leading You about what these five years have really looked like: surgery, treatment, scans, side effects, hospital stays, fatigue and an enormous amount of waiting.

But there has also been so much life.

I’ve worked. Travelled within Australia. Spoken on stages. Written a book. Hosted this podcast. Laughed a lot. And some of these past five years have been among the best years of my life.

One of the biggest things I’ve learnt is this:

You don’t need a crisis to change how you live.

In this episode, I explore:
Reaching the five-year milestone after my Stage 3 melanoma diagnosis
Why I’m choosing to celebrate rather than immediately move the goalposts
How serious illness changed my relationship with waiting
Why resilience is often much more ordinary than we imagine
Letting go of who I was before cancer and creating a life I love now
Who gets the best of our energy, and who gets the leftovers
Three questions to help you think differently about your next five years
What self-leadership looks like when so much is outside your control

I’m not going to pretend cancer suddenly made me enlightened. I still worry. I still work too much sometimes. I still get annoyed by things that don’t matter.

But I understand time differently now.

So I’ll leave you with one of the questions I ask in this episode:

If the next five years went incredibly quickly, what would you be disappointed you hadn’t done?

You don’t need something dramatic to happen before you build a life you genuinely want to be living.

Don’t wait for the crisis to give yourself permission.

The Five Years I Wasn’t Sure I’d Get… and Why This Matters to You

What if conflict isn’t a sign that something has gone wrong?

Most of us would rather avoid difficult conversations if we can. We hold things back, try to keep the peace or, at the other extreme, become defensive and determined to prove our point.

But healthy conflict is an essential part of leadership, relationships and innovation.

My guest on this episode of Leading You is award-winning author and founder Tim Duggan, whose latest book, Clear Intention: How to Get Better at Conflict, explores how we can become more skilful at navigating something every one of us experiences.

Tim shares his CLEAR framework: Clarify, Listen, Explore, Align and Reset, and we explore why preparing for difficult conversations, understanding our own responses and learning to listen generously can completely change the way we handle conflict.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why so many of us instinctively avoid conflict
Tim’s CLEAR framework for navigating difficult conversations
How preparing for conflict can change the way we respond
What emotional hijacking looks like and why awareness matters
The relationship between trust, healthy tension and innovation
Why generous listening is such a powerful leadership skill
Why not every conflict needs to be resolved

Strong teams aren’t necessarily conflict-free. When trust exists, people can challenge ideas, disagree and have robust conversations without making it personal.

The question isn’t whether conflict exists. It’s how we handle it when it does.

Conflict Isn't the Problem. How You Handle it is with Tim Duggan

How many things have you already decided you’re too late for?

A career change. Starting a business. Going back to study. Applying for a bigger role. Putting yourself forward. Starting again.

In this solo episode of Leading You, I explore the invisible deadlines we place around our careers, ambition and reinvention, and how easily we can start treating those self-imposed timelines as fact.

Inspired by my recent conversation with Ani, who began her career at 40, I also share my own experience of leaving a 21-year career in finance and starting my business at 39.

Because starting again doesn’t mean starting from zero. You bring your experience, judgement, resilience, relationships, mistakes and perspective with you. That is leadership capital.

In this episode, I explore:
The self-imposed career and life deadlines we rarely question
Why success and competence can sometimes make change harder
The difference between starting again and starting from zero
The leadership capital you carry into every new chapter
Why waiting to be noticed can mean handing someone else responsibility for your next move
Why we need to consider the risk of staying, not only the risk of changing
How to take a next step without needing certainty or a complete roadmap

Reinvention doesn’t have to mean blowing up your life. Sometimes it begins with a conversation, an application, an email, a question or simply admitting that what you wanted ten years ago isn’t necessarily what you want now.

Perhaps the question was never, “Is it too late?” Maybe it’s: Who decided there was a deadline in the first place?

The Deadline You Never Agreed To: Why We Decide It’s Too Late

What if the timeline you think you should be following has very little to do with what you’re actually capable of?

My guest on this episode of Leading You, Anne-Marie “Ani” Deieso, didn’t begin what she now considers her career until she was around 40.

After making a deliberate choice to stay home and raise her children, Ani returned to work without a grand career plan. She eventually found her way into mortgage broking almost by accident, entering an industry she knew very little about while battling plenty of self-doubt.

Today, Ani is Associate Director for Victoria at Loan Market. Her career has included mortgage broking, business ownership, Macquarie Bank, business coaching and senior leadership.

In this conversation, we discuss:
Starting a completely new career at 40
Why confidence is often built through action
Moving beyond “fake it till you make it”
The lessons parenting can teach us about leadership
Authenticity, integrity and finding your own leadership style
Resilience and learning what you can and cannot control
The people and moments that can change how we see ourselves
Why fear of regret can sometimes be more powerful than fear of trying
Why there is no arbitrary deadline on ambition or growth

 

Ani’s story is a wonderful example of why careers don’t need to follow a conventional timeline. Sometimes you take the next opportunity, learn something about yourself, build confidence and keep moving.

Perhaps you haven’t missed your window at all.

What If 40 Was Just the Beginning? with Anne-Marie Deieso

Why is asking for help so hard, especially when you’re usually the capable one?

I recently found myself exhausted, overwhelmed and lying awake at 2:00 am trying to solve every problem in my life at once. When a friend asked a very simple question, “Why don’t you ask for help?”, my immediate response was:

I should be able to handle this.

And that got me thinking.

In this episode of Leading You, I explore why capable, strong and independent people can find it so difficult to ask for support, and what happens when being “the capable one” becomes part of our identity.

We look at the relationship between independence and control, why “it’s easier if I do it myself” can turn leaders into bottlenecks, and what we inadvertently teach our teams when we always appear to have everything under control.

In this episode, I explore:
Why capable people often wait until they’re overwhelmed before asking for help
How capability can become part of our identity
The relationship between independence and control
Why doing everything yourself can create a leadership bottleneck
Why receiving support can feel harder than giving it
What leaders model when they never ask for help
How to recognise your warning signs before you reach capacity

Perhaps being capable doesn’t mean being able to do everything alone. Maybe it means knowing yourself well enough to recognise when something is too much, trusting the people around you and being secure enough to ask for support.

Ask yourself: What would I ask for if I didn’t believe asking made me less capable?

Why is Asking For Help So Damn Hard?

Have you reached the point where you know you’ve had enough, but you have absolutely no idea what you want instead?

I seem to be having this conversation with women everywhere.

They’re less tolerant of things they once accepted, more protective of their time, more willing to speak up and less prepared to carry everybody else’s problems or keep doing things simply because they’ve always done them.

And underneath it all is a feeling: something needs to change.

In this episode of Leading You, I explore what happens when you begin to outgrow a life, identity, relationship or expectation that once suited you.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re having a midlife crisis or need to dramatically reinvent your life. Sometimes, you’ve simply changed.

We explore:
Why becoming less tolerant can actually be useful information
How we outgrow identities, relationships and definitions of success
Why something can have been right for one chapter and wrong for the next
How our relationship with time changes the choices we make
Why knowing what you’re sick of is only the beginning
Why “I don’t know yet” can be an honest and useful answer
The questions that can help you work out what you want next

 

Self-leadership eventually asks us to move beyond “What have I had enough of?” and towards a harder question:

“What am I ready to choose?”

Your next chapter doesn’t need to arrive as one enormous moment of clarity. Sometimes it begins with a boundary, a conversation, something you stop tolerating or one choice you start making differently.

When Your Voice Gets Louder: The Midlife Reckoning No One Talks About

What could change if you became a little more willing to put yourself out there?

My guest on this episode of Leading You, Nick Bendel, set himself an unusual challenge: to have lunch with 500 complete strangers.

For an introvert who preferred staying home with a book and a cup of tea, it wasn’t the most obvious choice. But after starting a business, Nick realised that if he wanted different results, he needed to become more willing to connect, initiate and put himself out there.

What began as a networking experiment became something much bigger.

Over six years and 500+ lunches, Nick built an extraordinary network, developed greater confidence and discovered the power of what he calls social courage - taking action even when you don’t feel completely ready and despite the possibility of rejection, judgement or embarrassment.

We talk about why social courage is like a muscle, why confidence often comes after taking action, and what happened when around 95% of Nick’s lunch invitations received no response.

But perhaps the biggest change wasn’t his network. It was Nick himself.

He became more proactive, more willing to ask and more prepared to create opportunities rather than wait for them.

In this episode, we explore:
Why an introvert decided to have lunch with 500 strangers
What social courage is and how we can develop it
Why confidence often follows action
How repeated exposure changes our relationship with rejection
Why we reject ourselves before giving other people the opportunity to say yes
How curiosity creates more meaningful conversations
Why small, sustainable actions can create significant change
The increasing value of human skills in an AI-driven world
How social courage can strengthen leadership, connection and opportunity

You don’t need to start with 500 lunches.
You simply need to begin.

Could Having Lunch With 500 Strangers Change Your Life? with Nick Bendel

What if your biggest competitor isn’t another business, another leader or someone offering exactly what you do?

What if it’s irrelevance?

In a world where customer expectations, technology, workplaces and buying behaviour are constantly changing, being good at what you do is no longer enough. The bigger question is whether the value you bring is still relevant to what people need today - and where they’re heading tomorrow.

In this episode of Leading You, I share a snapshot of my keynote on relevance and explore why successful people, leaders and businesses can be particularly vulnerable to becoming irrelevant.

Using Kodak as an example, I look at what happens when we become more focused on protecting what made us successful than questioning what needs to come next.

I also explore two of the biggest threats to relevance: busyness and playing not to lose. When we’re constantly delivering, reacting and managing what’s immediately in front of us, we stop looking up at what’s changing, out at what our clients or organisations need and ahead at what we need to become.

In this episode:
Why irrelevance may be your biggest competitor
How yesterday’s success can become tomorrow’s limitation
Why busyness can make us dangerously short-sighted
What happens when we start playing not to lose
Why staying relevant doesn’t mean chasing every trend
The importance of communicating your value, not simply what you do
Why your thinking demonstrates your future value
My Relevance Reset: Look Up, Look Out and Look Ahead
