In this solo episode of Leading You, I’m diving into one of the most common challenges I hear from leaders and high performers: a loss of motivation. But here’s the truth, it’s not that you’ve lost your drive. It’s that you’re out of alignment.

I break down the myth of motivation and explore what’s really behind that nagging feeling of being stuck or flat. We’ll talk about how being out of sync with your values and priorities leads to burnout, frustration, and confusion about what to do next. I also share my own experience of walking away from a successful 20-year corporate career to realign with purpose, and how that one decision changed everything.

If you’ve been feeling off, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose differently. I’ll also introduce you to my You Always Have a Choice program and share practical steps to realign your energy, sharpen your focus, and reconnect with your leadership legacy.

Key Takeaways:
The surprising truth behind why motivation disappears
How to recognise misalignment in your life and work
Why your legacy isn’t built someday—it’s shaped by what you choose today
The mindset shift that helped me leave corporate life and find purpose
Practical strategies to get clear, regain focus, and move forward with confidence
