Work wise, the year has started with preparation for a government graduate leadership program, which kicks off very soon, ongoing coaching work, and time at Yellow Edge’s Futures (The Future in Us) Unconference, where I facilitated a Leadership Superpowers and Body Mapping session. I’ll be sharing more about that over time. In the meantime, I’ve included a few photos from our time together.

What I’m noticing from people is a desire to focus on change that matters and makes a difference. Not more activity for the sake of it, or being busy, but being intentional about what’s really needed, personally, professionally, and organisationally. Often, that’s less about doing more, and more about choosing what to stop, pause, or redesign. This connects closely to work I am developing around creative leadership and team fitness.
There are also the ever-present conversations around AI. As we intersect with rapidly changing technologies and increasingly complex environments, human connection and creative intelligence matter even more in how we approach change.
I’ve captured some of this thinking in a short guide, Change That Matters, a resource to support leaders and teams to pause and consider what matters most, and why. You can download a copy here.
I entered this year with a mantra about ease and grace, and minimising friction. When I took a few boxes of books to my local second-hand shop, a set of cards jumped out at me. They’re called The Journey Cards.
Curiously, the card I pulled from the pack as I was writing this piece was Effortlessness. It suggests giving up the idea that things must be done in a certain way, and that things can be done in a more easeful way. I’ll take that.
I’d love to know what you’re noticing and currently experiencing.
What feels important for you right now?
What kinds of change matter most to you?
I always welcome these curious conversations, and if any of this resonates for you, get in touch and let’s explore that.
Here’s to using more of our creative intelligence with ease and grace as we respond to and shape change.
