What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

Truth releases us from shame. Yet so few of us are sharing our truth. I have been thinking about this a lot. How we tend to share the highlights. The good things. We share the surface level stuff. And sure there is a time for this. At the soccer game. At the school gate. In the lunch room. Best to keep it light! But do you have someone in your life who you share your truth with? Who you open up to. About your fears. Your worries. Your shame, failures and regrets? So few of us do. I am lucky to have a three women in my life who I really do share these deep places with. Who I tell the truth to. The whole truth. Women who I choose to expose my rough edges to. This week on the podcast. Why it is important to create a safe space where you tell it like it is, for your own health and wellbeing and also for all of us out there who need to hear it because many of us will then, by hearing your story, feel confident enough to say ‘me too’.

Who you are now is not who you were a few years ago. Your body, your mind, your relationships, career, wisdom ... all of it is evolving. Do you embrace the process of evolution? Mentally, physically and spiritually? Or do you resist it? There is such great personal power that comes with age. This week on the podcast, I hope I can encourage you to lean into ageing, into the evolution of you.

On Monday a friend died unexpectedly. He was young, healthy, fit. He was engaged at work, loved by others, a fantastic father and friend. Now he is dead. In a moment, without warning, he left us. I share this because I think it is important we don’t rush past these moments of pain that we all experience at times, or see others experiencing. In a moment we are dead. One day alive. The next dead. What will you leave behind? If you were to die today would you be happy with how you lived? I got a tattoo this week too. Long planned having made the decision some time ago, but this week felt so right for it having received this sad news. A mountain range that to me represents my family and the wilderness that I love. Strong, wild, beautiful and free. A snowflake. Precious, beautiful, here only for a moment before it melts. A reminder that life is to be lived fully. My friend's life was short. But he lived it fully alive. He was kind, warm, loving. He was generous. He was a fantastic father. He made a difference in the lives of those he knew and served in his work. He didn’t appear in the headlines, there are no books written about him, no order of Australia medals. But his live had meaning. It had joy. It mattered. So does yours, my friend. Please don’t forget that. Life is precious. You are precious. It all goes quickly. So please. If your instagram makes you feel shit please delete it. If your Facebook robs you of time with those you love delete it. If you want to feel healthier, take action today. If you love them, tell them you do, today. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it. If you feel stressed about June 30, remember you could die on June 29. Life is bloody precious. Go do what you love, with people you love. Design a life you love. Make today count. And hug your babies tight. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.

I choose to believe that the point of life is to evolve. That our purpose is to consider how we did today and try and do better tomorrow. That the reason we are here is to grow. To have a go. And if we fail today to do one better, to remember that this is part of being human, that we are not broken and that we have this amazing gift … we get to try again tomorrow. What a special thing! As long as we are living, we get to try again tomorrow. So my human friends … Can you commit to the pursuit of excellence? Knowing that you will never reach it, but that the whole point of it is the pursuit itself? To seek wisdom and knowledge. To try new things. To contemplate where we may be wrong. To consider how we can show up more fully alive. Fold the laundry like a ninja. Make the dinner like a pro. Read that book and soak in knowledge. Look your partner in the eye and really listen to them. Show up to work with your A game on. Go for a run and push it to that next level. Pick up a heavier weight at the gym. Sit and do homework with your kids and choose to enjoy it. Life is so much better when you do it fully alive! This week on the podcast. Some ideas on how we can continue to commit to the pursuit of exceptional. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.

Tell me, do you feel loneliness at times? Not chronic loneliness, but more occasional visit from friend loneliness? I do, about once every week or so. I think we all do. What most of us do in response however is to avoid it. Do you allow yourself to feel it? Or do you avoid it? Numb it? Get busy on your phone and pretend that feeling is not there? What do you do to avoid it? Why? Why is loneliness something we all want to avoid? Is it loneliness that is the problem or what we make it mean? Rather than seeing loneliness as a problem I invite you embrace it, feel it, explore it. Often, it is in those spaces of isolation, that the big ideas come to us. Your masterpiece resides in those periods of solitude. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.

Guilt. That old friend. When you talk about feeling guilt your friends tell you 'don't be silly, you have nothing to feel guilty about' or similar. I don't suggest that approach. Pushing away emotion never resolves it, ever. This week I ask you to go deep. To take a look inside. See what is driving the emotion. Then be honest with yourself. No-one else is watching, my friend. What is driving the guilt, do you want to change how you are living or do you want to re-decide and re-affirm how you are living. You get to decide? What kind of life do you want to live from today forward? If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.

So 3 weeks in a leg brace ... If you know me you have probably heard me say, "you would have to strap me to a bed and sedate me in order to stop me walking and training every day." What has come up in the last few weeks is all the fear underneath the constant moving that I tend to do. Sure I meditate (at 4am before I get up and start moving), I contemplate (while I hike or swim), I sit down to eat (most of the time). But I have know for a very long time that I have a fear of sitting still. I had a workshop at SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) for two days last week. I enrolled last year and every time I thought about it, or saw it in the diary, I felt that mix of fear and a desire to pull out that is all too familiar. Even after hurting my leg and being put in a leg brace, I didn't want to do it. If there is something that involves sitting down for hours on end ... I really do not want to do it. Long lunches. Full day workshops. Lectures. Long drives, long flights, basically anything that requires more than 30 minutes sitting down. If I have spare time I clean the windows, vacuum, go for a run, walk to the shops. take the kids and dog to the park, run around finding jobs to do ... anything to avoid sitting down. Why? What is with this fear? It is the same fear that you may feel about sitting still, or not watching TV every night, or not having your phone to check when you sit at the bar waiting to meet your friend. Or maybe it’s the fear that is underneath your snacking every time you have spare time, or calling your mum, or messaging friends, checking email, checking your apps, news feed ... What do you do to check out? To avoid being alone with yourself? What is beneath that fear? For me in the past I would eat or drink wine. That was my go to that caused the most damage in my life. But for my entire adult life movement has been the big one. The one I refuse to let go off. The one that is 'healthy' and 'good for you' and a 'good addiction to have'. It is also a great way to avoid being alone with yourself, with your true self, with all the stuff underneath. So ... that’s been my week. Being faced with all the stuff underneath. Learning to love that stuff, learning to question that stuff, to test if it is true, and to let it go if it isn't. This week’s podcast is about the stuff and about being honest with yourself - recorded with so much love for you all.
