3/3 Leadership is about finding the right words, especially honest ones, even if they make you feel uncomfortable.

If you'd like to find out more about the work APS can do on shaping culture, you can click the link in my bio.

2/3 Because people do more than listen to your words, they interpret them. And when your language is vague, your culture becomes the same.

Precision builds trust. When you say exactly what you mean, good or bad, people can stop guessing and use that brain space to take up more valuable pursuits.

2/3 If you don’t identify the cause beneath the symptom - the culture, behaviours or lack of clarity - your solutions will always be temporary.

Leadership is about asking the hard questions, like why is this happening in the first place.

2/3 Yet, when it comes to giving honest feedback or challenging a harmful norm? Suddenly the discomfort feels intolerable.

But that’s where growth happens. In the uncomfortable conversations and the moments you choose integrity over ease.

5/5 The surest bet for any solution, remedy or balm for this world is YOU.

To round off an extraordinary few weeks, I look forward to seeing some of you tonight for an evening of conversation about It’s Not Magic.

4/5
If there is a solution to what ails this world, to the challenges in our businesses, institutions and communities, it's not ‘the young people’ - some distant, future generation or yet-to-be-discovered iconic future leader or politician.

3/5 As we start to look ahead to winter, we can begin to think about how we end the year on a high and reflect on what we have learnt in the months prior and I’d encourage you all to mull on this thought, taken from the final pages of my book…

2/5 After time on the road, from the US book tour, to a return to Finland with clients, I took some time out to pause and reset before coming home to my favourite view of London from my roof terrace.

3/3 Congratulations to everyone else recognised for their commitment to inspiring positive change in their fields.

2/3 The ideas exchanged, the moments of reflection, the courage to see things differently - that’s what makes it worthwhile.

It feels especially meaningful to be recognised for sessions on leadership, culture and inclusion. They’re not always easy topics, but they’re always necessary.

3/3 If you'd like to join me this Friday evening, you can find further details and tickets here: buy.stripe.com/fZufZi86PgCB...

And to everyone else who already has their tickets, I look forward to sitting down with you, listening to your challenges and hearing what you think about my book!

2/3 Evenings like this are the best part of releasing a book. I get to sit down with you…leaders who are considered and committed to developing your leadership skills, discuss the real implications of my work and answer your questions face to face.

4/4 I hope, when you read it, you’ll find the same.

You can order my new book, out now, here: bit.ly/44yW7JZ

3/4 Two esteemed voices who have taken the time to give their thoughts on my book, now gracing the cover. Their endorsements mean a great deal to me, not only because of who they are, but because they’ve seen the value in these ideas.

2/4 Some of you might take my word on the book containing practical, transformative and useful advice. For those of you who might be sceptical, I’m sharing here the extremely kind words of Doc Rivers and James O'Brien.
