Career or Ceiling?
Linkedln
June 11, 2024
In the highly dynamic field of change and transformation, building a successful career demands more than simply coasting along. It's about being intentional and mindful of your ability to design and craft your career to reach new heights. You need to be prepared when opportunities arise, agile enough to navigate and create your own opportunities, and free from limitations or ceilings that could hinder your progress.

Still Waiting for Clarity? That’s the Problem
Linkedln
May 22, 2025
Let’s get one thing straight: you’re not lacking clarity because you’re lazy, unskilled, or unmotivated.

You’re lacking clarity because you’ve been trained to look for it in the wrong place.

In corporate life, we’ve been taught to navigate uncertainty by doubling down on what we know: analyze more, think harder, refine our personal strategy. It creates a false sense of control. And for a while, it works. Until it doesn’t.

Why You're Still Stuck in the Same Kind of Role

Most change and transformation leaders and practitioners aren’t stuck because they aren't good. They’re stuck because of context.

That quiet voice you keep ignoring?

April 25, 2025
I’ve had this moment more than once.

That feeling that something’s not right—not because it’s broken, but because it’s no longer you.

You look around and everything seems… fine.

You’re doing good work.

You’re respected.

The Full Alignment Trap
LinkedIn
April 10, 2025
It's one of the most common stalls I see in programs—leaders who delay decisions, hold back momentum, or keep tweaking strategy until everyone nods in agreement. But here's the truth

Stop Blaming Culture for Your Dysfunctions
Linkedln
April 03, 2025
This week's edition was supposed to be about Alignment... However, I wanted to talk today about something thatI am noticing a lot...

There’s a growing habit in organisations today: When something isn’t working—whether it’s performance, results, behaviour, or leadership—many point the finger at “culture.”

How to Move Fast Without Breaking Your Transformation?
Linkedln
March 27, 2025
Speed is a prized asset in business. We hear it all the time—"Move fast, break things."

But in transformation? Moving too fast can break the wrong things.

The pressure to deliver results quickly often leads organizations to push initiatives forward without ensuring they’re truly ready. Speed becomes the goal, instead of sustainable change.

The result? Teams scramble, execution suffers, and transformation efforts become rushed, reactive, and riddled with misalignment.

The Hidden Forces That Make or Break Transformation
Linkedln
March 13, 2025
A fundamental distinction that often gets overlooked is that those who drive transformation and those who deliver the work are equally important—but they are not the same. Transformation leadership is about shaping the why and how of change, ensuring that the foundation is sound before execution begins. Meanwhile, execution ensures that transformation is realized, implemented, and sustained.

Women in Change ANZ: A New Chapter Begins!
Linkedln
March 06, 2025
Change isn’t just something we lead—it’s who we are. And for too long, women driving change have been doing so in silos, stretched thin, navigating complexity without a space that truly understands their journey.

That changes today.

I’m beyond excited to announce that Women in Change (WiC) is officially launching in Australia & New Zealand, in partnership with Women in Change UK! Powered by the Transformation Leadership Institute

Why Organizations Are Avoiding the Word ‘Transformation’
Linkedln
February 27, 2025
Transformation has a reputation problem. Some organizations avoid using the word because too many transformations have failed—or at least failed to meet expectations.
But let’s be clear: failure isn’t binary.
It’s not just "success" or "failure"; it’s a spectrum. Some transformations partially succeed. Some stall. Some get dismantled before they have a chance to deliver.
And yet, instead of learning from what really happened, the instinct is to avoid the word altogether, rebrand the effort, or quietly sweep it under the rug.

Why Some Leaders Get Ahead & Others Stay Stuck

Transformation & change is not just a job. It’s a way of thinking, leading, and shaping the future. Those who thrive in this space aren’t here just for the paycheck—they are here to make an impact, drive meaningful change, and shape the future of organizations.

Transformation Won’t Fix Leadership Misalignment—But This Will
Linkedln
February 13, 2025
Transformation is not a magic fix. It won’t solve leadership misalignment, and it won’t override deep-seated challenges that are already holding an organization back.

Yet, too often, transformation gets pulled into problems that are bigger than what it can handle—misaligned leadership, unclear success metrics, and a lack of shared direction.

Last week marked a defining moment in transformation leadership. The Transformation Leadership Institute (TLI) launched, bringing together leaders from across industries to redefine what real transformation looks like.

The Most Common Problems Surrounding Transformation Talent

Transformation Leadership - Transformation & Future Fit Organizations
Linkedln
December 19, 2024
Transformation programs often focus on solving today’s challenges. But without a clear focus on agility and scalability, organizations risk creating solutions that are outdated before they’re even fully implemented.

Using today's thinking to solve tomorrow's challenges is not the way forward. While we might conceptually agree with this statement, yet we need to break this down on what that actually means in the world of transformation.
