Why were we never really taught HOW to work? It’s a question we ponder in this episode with my fabulous guest Liz Mackevicius, a former urban planner turned leadership coach who now helps professionals build clarity, confidence and momentum in their work. Liz brings a grounded, practical approach to leadership, shaped by two decades in corporate roles and by her other life as an ultra-endurance trail runner - we’re talking massive 50 to 100 kilometre races!

In this episode, you'll learn:
The real difference between being busy and being productive
How mental load builds up, and a simple way to offload it at the end of each day
What "purposeful momentum" means and how to build it into a packed week
How to have difficult conversations (and the mindset required)
Why treating pre-event nerves as excitement (not danger) improves performance
Liz’s tips and tricks for working better without burning out
How Liz uses lessons from ultra-running to help clients manage their minds and find more success at work
