🧵1/7 These are my 6 Leadership Principles During Conflict. Whether you apply these principles to political, business or social and romantic partnerships examples, you will see the truth of the benefits of upholding them, and the danger of ignoring them.

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.

1/5 There’s something about the shift in season that forces reflection; the slowing pace, the shorter days, the pause between chapters.

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.

1/3 I’m honoured to be recognised by the Motivational Speakers Agency as one of London’s top motivational speakers.

Speaking has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my work, not just for what’s shared on stage, but for the conversations that happen in the room.

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.

1/4 Seeing the endorsements come in for It’s Not Magic from some brilliant minds has been both surreal and affirming.

Resilience is not the absence of setbacks. It is “the idea that you recognize this setback is a part of your achievement pathway, and you're going to return and maybe even exceed your previous performance despite it”, says @johnamaechi.apsintel.com:

2/2 You have the power to dial up or dial down something today, tomorrow, this week that could be the thing that helps someone do better work.

Pay attention to what helps you win, and choose to do more of it.

The wonders of jet lag. Asleep at 8pm, awake at 3am.
But still, I got to see this sunrise from my patio.
Morning all!

1/3 It’s Not Magic is finally out in the world.

This day has been a long time coming. Seeing my scribbles and notes come to life like this has been emotional, challenging and sometimes exhausting. But mostly, I’m grateful that it’s now in your hands.
