A close friend in Dubai had the opportunity to interview renowned author Daniel Pink recently and shared this powerful clip containing his advice on how to cope with regret. It's something that all of you need to hear, so make the time for this - I promise you won’t regret it! 

At 40, I thought I had all the answers.

At 53, l've learned how dangerous that was.

This clip? Just 1 of 4 essential leadership lessons I got from Ryan Holiday during his visit to London last week that I'll be sharing with you later today.

This week's packed Prime Movement newsletter also includes:

• 3 ways to avoid career irrelevance

• The team dynamic that blindsided me

With great power comes great responsibility - and that's why a culture of fear is never acceptable, whether that's in an elite sports team or in business. Here's my (very) personal take on why toxic leadership can't be justified by the results... and what I learned the hard way from failing to speak up when I experienced it myself.

The invisible tax of stress: are we paying too much attention to the wrong things?

I saw Mo Gawdat tackle this subject in London earlier this year, and this snippet from the Be Well Collective captures one of his most powerful insights - one I wish I'd known in my C-suite days.

No complex techniques. No expensive apps. Just a brilliantly simple reframe: Treat your stress like financial data. Audit it. Track it. Learn from it.

Because here's the truth for midlife leaders: not all stress deserves your energy. Some of it is just noise that's keeping you from what really matters.

Save this for your next overwhelming moment. It's the reality check we all need.

"I've finally got that new role I was pushing for... so why am I still feeling a bit empty inside?"

We've all been there - creating finish lines in our head in the hope that once we cross them the stresses and strains disappear, the grind eases and the path to happiness reveals itself. The problem is they aren't actually finish lines at all. It's called the 'arrival fallacy' and it ignores the fact that the real race is within. This is something I learnt the hard way. Despite 'ticking all the boxes' in my last global executive role, I felt increasingly disconnected from any sense of real progress. Here's the truth: forget the false promise of 'destinations' and learn to embrace the journey you're on. Be present in the moment and reframe the challenges you face as growth opportunities. It's not easy, but we're here to support your growth. Dare to know. Dare to Grow.

Think resilience means taking every punch? Think again.

For years, I measured success by my ability to take hits:

• 24/7 availability

• Constant travel

• Endless crisis management

But here's what I learnt the hard way: True resilience isn't about standing still and shipping punishment. It's about movement. Progress. Growth.

From one C-suite veteran to another: Your brain stuck in 'work mode' 24/7 isn't a badge of honor - it's a warning sign.

I love how Dr David Maloney breaks down the science of high-performance recovery in this must-watch video. No fluffy self-help advice. Just hard science and actionable steps for busy executives to help them switch off.
