What if the voice holding you back wasn’t you—but “Bob”?

In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by Gary Waldon—author, speaker, and self-described “serial reinventor.” With 44 job titles under his belt, Gary knows a thing or two about embracing change, even when fear is loud and clarity is lacking.

We talk about the messy, brave, and ultimately freeing process of personal reinvention. Gary introduces his CREATE method—a practical, human-centred framework to help you move forward, even when you don’t have all the answers.

This is an honest, grounded conversation about what it takes to let go of what’s no longer working, reframe failure, and take aligned action.

In this episode, we explore:
How to recognise when it’s time to reinvent yourself
Why naming your inner critic (“Bob”) helps you take your power back
The CREATE method for personal reinvention
How to move forward even when fear is in the room
Why comparison is the fastest way to feel stuck
How AI mirrors our own fears around identity, growth, and purpose

If you’ve been feeling restless, stuck, or like you’re meant for something more—this is your sign to pause, listen, and choose differently.

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself:
What’s one small step I can take today toward the version of me I haven’t met yet?
