Goal Setting
The Power of Collective Intelligence “My biggest learning was to stop solving everyone’s problems… and instead give them the toolbox to solve them themselves.“ There comes a point in almost every leader’s journey where helping people can quietly become a habit. Someone walks into your office with a problem. You already know the answer – so you solve…
“I could see the next stage coming… and I knew I didn’t yet have the leadership capability to get there.“ There are moments in almost every leader’s career where they realise something important. Not that they’re failing. Not that they’re incapable. But that the next version of their business is going to require the next version of themselves. That was exactly…
Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with a large organisation on a significant strategic planning project. What began as stakeholder interviews across the leadership group evolved into a two-day strategy workshop, the development of a Strategy on a Page, a communications plan, implementation recommendations, and a roadmap for the future. As the…
As we head into the Easter break, I always find myself reflecting on the last 16 years of being a mum at this time of year. My girls lived for it, the Easter egg hunts, big family breakfasts, friends staying the whole weekend, endless swims in the pool… and yes, chocolate before lunch. But when I really…
Delegation is one of the most talked-about leadership skills. And one of the most misunderstood. Most leaders think delegation simply means handing over a task. But effective delegation is actually about something much deeper: Clarity of authority. Because when authority is unclear, teams hesitate.They delay decisions.They second-guess themselves.And productivity slows down. Over the years, I’ve…
Valentine’s Day has just passed and today is Random Acts of Kindness Day in Australia – and amid all this, I’m reminded that love isn’t just for our personal lives – it’s central to leadership too. Whether it’s a heartfelt note, a small gesture, or simply showing someone they’re seen, these moments of kindness matter.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
