The 3E Framework – Feedback That Builds Culture (Not Fear)
It is early February, and for many teams, this is the real start of the year. The inbox is filling. Calendars are back-to-back. And leaders are already reaching out with the same concern: “This is the year we need to lift our culture.” What they’re often really talking about is behaviour. Tone in conversations that feels sharp or dismissive. Side…
A Gentler Way to Start 2026: Wellbeing, Energy & Productivity
January has a particular kind of quiet. The emails slow down. Calendars are lighter. There is space to breathe again before the year properly asks things of us. And yet, this is often the moment we rush past. We set goals. Lock in plans. Fill diaries. Promise ourselves this will be the year we finally…
Celebrating the Year That Was (and Why It Matters)
As the year draws to a close, Team PAG is taking a moment this week to pause, connect, and celebrate together at our Christmas gathering. Among all the strategy, planning, and exciting groundwork for 2026, we’re reminded of something essential: celebration isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s a leadership strategy. It anchors us. It connects us. It reminds us why we do what we do. In the whirlwind…
The Energy Audit: How Full Is Your Tank?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with leaders across various industries, it’s this: High performance is often mistaken for endurance. We glorify the grind. The long hours. The constant availability. We wear “busy” as a badge of honour. But here’s the truth – sustainable leadership isn’t about how much time you give. It’s about how…
Why Values Matter More Than Ever – in Leadership, Teams, and Client Conversations
Lately, I’ve noticed a theme that keeps surfacing in coaching sessions, workshops, and conversations with leaders across industries – values. Not in a lofty, abstract sense. But in a real, practical, human way. Leaders are asking questions like: “Why do I feel off balance?” “Why do I find it hard to make decisions lately?” “Why do I sometimes…
The Power of the Collective: Why Strategy Workshops Set Teams Up for Success
As we head toward the end of the year, many leaders are looking to finish strong – but the best leaders are also looking ahead. This is the perfect time to step back, reflect, and reset direction before the year ends. At Performance Advisory Group, we’ve already locked in two of our own strategy days…
Out of Control Design- Regaining Clarity, Confidence and Connection
As we move into the final stretch of the year, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with leaders and professionals who are feeling out of control. The pace quickens, the deadlines stack up, and suddenly everything feels urgent. It’s the pointy end of the year – and it can feel like you’re carrying the…
Connection is the Cornerstone of Wellbeing
This week, as we prepare to celebrate World Mental Health Day on October 10, our team is taking a moment to pause, play, and connect – with a long-overdue games night. It’s a simple reminder of something powerful: that wellbeing isn’t just about self-care. It’s about shared care – the trust, laughter, and relationships that…
The Five Love Languages: A Fresh Lens on Leadership and Sales
Earlier this year, I joined Darren Mitchell on The Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast to talk about lessons in leadership and sales. That first conversation touched on a theme very close to my heart – the power of connection – and we alluded to a follow-up episode where we’d dive deeper into the Five Love Languages. …
Because Mental Health Matters: A Leadership Responsibility
Last week, Australia paused for R U OK? Day – a simple yet powerful reminder to check in on those around us. For me, it reinforced what I see every day through our work with leaders: mental health and wellbeing are not just personal issues; they’re leadership issues. Building a Culture of Wellbeing And as…
