🧳 When the job disappears… who do you become?

You don’t always get to choose when the shift comes. But you do get to choose who you become next. Dear Reader, It was 9:42am when everything we’d built felt suspended in mid-air. My role, our plans, even our sense of security—all abruptly ended by a short phone call: "You have two months to relocate and vacate company property." Maybe you've felt something similar. A quiet shock that shakes the foundations you've carefully laid. A moment when comfort and predictability vanish, leaving a void...

A person wondering if they should leave their job

Have you ever felt that quiet unease — the whisper that says, “Maybe this place isn’t enough anymore?” Dear Reader, Have you ever quietly wondered if staying is costing you more than leaving ever could? Maybe you’ve felt that subtle shift inside. Your job is stable. You’re respected. The pay is good. But something feels… off. You find yourself whispering reassurances, like “Maybe it’s just a rough patch,” or “I’ve built too much to walk away now.” Yet beneath that logic, there's a quiet...

How to use AI to craft my career one-pager

Undervalued. Overlooked. Then I Used AI to Tell My Career Story. You’ve done the work. Here’s how to finally say it right. Dear Reader, Have you ever been in a crucial meeting, an interview, or a conversation where you knew exactly what you'd achieved but couldn't find the right words to express it? I’ve been there too. I spent years quietly delivering, leading, and solving complex problems, assuming my work would eventually speak for itself. Until the day I realized: if I couldn't clearly...

Comfort feels safe—until it quietly becomes a trap. Dear Reader, Have you ever made a choice because it felt comfortable and safe, only to quietly wonder later if you settled for less than your true potential? I’ve done it too—and it cost me more than I realized. In this week’s video, I share two deeply personal stories: one where I dared to dream boldly, reaching for something that felt impossible—and another where I quietly settled, limiting myself because aiming higher felt too risky. One...

What if the ache isn’t ingratitude… but a calling? Dear Reader You don’t need a crisis to outgrow your current season. Sometimes, everything looks fine from the outside: a steady job, a happy family, the life you once prayed for. And still, something inside whispers: You were built for more. I know that tension. Gratitude pulling one way, growth pulling the other. Not long ago, I found myself in that place too. Life was stable. Predictable. Even successful by most standards. But the dreams I...

A man faced with a tough decision.

Facing a Tough Decision? Start Here! Hi Reader, Big decisions rarely feel simple. You’ve probably felt it too, going back and forth, analyzing every scenario, hoping the “right” choice becomes obvious. I’ve been there, and I’ve learned this: clarity isn’t about perfect certainty, it’s about asking the right questions and knowing when to move forward. In my latest video, I share five key principles that have guided me through tough decisions around career, life, and family. These aren’t...

Still stuck? Start here. Hi Reader, You’ve checked every box, done every ‘right thing’—and yet you’re still stuck. You’ve prayed, journaled, vision-boarded, and strategized. But somehow… nothing shifts. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but progress still eludes you—you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken. Here’s the hard truth: You can’t build a future your internal story isn’t ready to believe. That’s the core of this week’s video: “Why You’re Still...

Life Just Changed Drastically... Here's How I Handled It Hello Reader, Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. My 2-year dream job assignment ended abruptly, with just two months’ notice. Suddenly, we had to decide quickly whether to move back to our home in Scotland, which was rented out. We chose not to go back, instead downsizing from a comfortable 4-bedroom house with a beautiful garden to a small 2-bedroom apartment with poor insulation and no outdoor space. Just...
