The ocean, its ebb and flow has potentially a number of lessons for us, our businesses, sport, leadership and life. This episode I just reflect a little on the ocean and consistency.

I reflect on us all having an ego but what are we doing with it? Do we allow it to have an effect on our lives and leadership? Or do we get it out of the way.

In this reflection I think about the opportunity of a first and how you could be on the right track. But sitting there won’t help though.

I am challenged often when listening, reading and observing how individuals could make some bold sweeping statements that often puts people on the other end at risk, unease, uncertainty and leaving often confused. In this episode I unpack some thoughts on what we say, and when!

In this reflection I chat about the academic graduations that take place and how the journey, the hope and the faith is something I get to see every year.

Comebacks after a major setback is part of the nature of sport and high performance sport. Tough times, injuries and a whole host of setbacks are real. Watching Wade Van Niekerk run a fast 400m made me reflect on what it takes to make a comeback.
