We spend a lot of time measuring performance in organisations through metrics.
In this latest edition, I reflect on what we might learn from applying the same logic to ourselves, and where the comparison starts to break down.

Have you ever stopped to wonder where your standards, expectations, and definition of success actually come from?
In this article, I reflect on the psychology of the invisible "I should" and the hidden rules many of us live by.

In this article, I reflect on a psychology framework around the different versions of ourselves we can hold at the same time, what tensions can emerge between them over time, and how they can unconsciously start driving us.

In one famous psychology experiment, participants were willing to ignore what they could clearly see with their own eyes in order to align with the group. In this edition, I reflect on what this might say about careers, social expectations, and the paths we end up following without always questioning them.

I share here a tool I came across reccently in my psychology studies, called the “miracle question”, a simple but powerful framework that has been proven to be widely effective in therapy.

When something feels off, whether in our mental health or in our career, the reflex is often the same e.g. simplify the problem and find a quick solution. But what if the way we frame the problem is part of the problem? Here are a few reflections on that, hope you enjoy the read.

In consulting, we would not jump straight to solutions without first understanding the problem, but surprisingly in our own careers, we often do. This edition explores how a psychological approach (assessment and formulation) can help bring more clarity before taking action.

Career decisions rarely exist in isolation. They interact with the life we want to build, our priorities, and what gives us energy. Taking time to reflect on where you are today can bring surprising clarity.

Many careers unfold step by step without much reflection. This blog was created as a space to pause, step back, and explore how our work fits into the life we want to build.

Many professionals sense that something needs to shift in their work, even if they are not looking to change everything immediately. Often the reflection unfolds around three possibilities: staying but differently, moving within a familiar path, or pivoting toward something new.
