37 - What is your Baseline?

This past week, for the first time ever, I went fishing! 10 years to the day since I broke my back in Papua New Guinea, I chose to instead mark this day with a new achievement during my current holiday in Australia.

36 - The Quiet Season Won't Last... Use it before September sneaks up on you!

Legacy - What's in 100 Days?

Ten years on: why I'm doing it all again In politics, success is measured in what is achieved in the first 100 days in office. In life, success is measured across a whole lifetime. I prefer to work in between: taking bite-sized chunks to clear the decks, break bad habits, and build new ones. Tha...

33 - When WILL You Be Ready?

Last month I wrote about what happens when a 'what if' becomes a 'now what?'. Since then, life has offered me two more reminders of why this question matters so much. The first, my father's stroke - I'm glad to say that he has now recovered well, exceeding all our expectations. But something...

32 - The Relationships That Actually Nourish You

I am typing this on Holy Thursday and the Last Supper. which has me thinking about friendship, community, and how we show up for each other. Think for a moment about the people in your life right now. Not all of them. Just the ones who genuinely come to mind when things are hard, or when somet...

28 - Accountability for Your Legacy

“So what got you into this work, Jen?” It’s a question I’ve been asked repeatedly over the past two weeks - during a radio interview, a presentation to 50 wealth-management clients, and while launching two new succession planning programmes.
