Connection Happens in the Moments We Share
There’s something powerful about stepping outside your everyday environment and experiencing life alongside other people. Not just working together. Not just collaborating on deadlines or projects. But genuinely sharing moments. Over the last few years, Gallup’s research has consistently reinforced something many leaders already feel intuitively: connection matters more than ever. In fact, Gallup’s 2026 State of the Global…
Read MoreLeadership in Uncertainty: What Crossing a Street in Vietnam Taught Me
We just returned from Vietnam where I had the privilege of keynoting at the Lifespan Annual Conference, catching up with my team for some team building, and enjoying a family holiday with my girls. One evening I faced a moment that perfectly captured the rhythm of life and leadership there. I found myself in the middle of a crazy…
Read MoreThe Thing That Matters Most (And We Often Forget)
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…
Read MoreThe Six Levels of Authority: The Leadership Tool That Fixes Delegation
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.

Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreCelebrating 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreWhy 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…

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…
