Today I enjoy a meaningful career, a rewarding personal life, and a deep sense of internal stability - but it wasn’t always like this.
My Story: The Turning Point
"Have you noticed there’s a voice in your head?"
Many years ago, my coach asked me that simple question and it stopped me in my tracks. Despite my outward success , I was secretly overwhelmed and "thrashed about" by a tireless inner critic. That voice kept me small and fearful of taking up space, going for opportunities my career offered and doing work that was meaningful for me.
That realisation was my turning point. I began a journey from external striving to internal stability. I learned that my peace of mind couldn't depend on external outcomes I couldn't control. Instead, I had to find my Center - that place of stillness and confidence that remains unshakeable, no matter how turbulent the storm outside becomes.
The Superpower of Attention
Along this journey, I discovered we all possess a universal superpower that we often unknowingly misuse: Attention. When I learned to train my attention to focus inward to stabilise my inner world, I began to make changes to my life and career that aligned with how I wanted to live and lead - with clarity, calm and boldness.
This is the essence of living and leading from your Center. You aren't just reacting to the world, you are taking bold action aligned with your values.
