How Habit Tracking Turns Intention into Impact!



Most people believe success is driven by bold moves, decisive moments or sudden breakthroughs. The truth is quieter, less cinematic and far more powerful. Careers, businesses and lives are not changed by what happens to us, but by what we choose to repeat.


Look closely at the image. It draws a simple but radical boundary. What is out of your control and what is in your control. The future, other people’s opinions, outcomes and the past sit firmly outside the circle. Inside it live the small, often underestimated forces. Your response, your energy, your self-talk, your boundaries, your attitude and who you choose to give your time to.


This distinction matters more than we realise because habits only work when they operate inside the circle of control.

How Guilt Reshapes Women’s Leadership, Relationships and Power


There is a conversation many women leaders avoid having, not because they lack courage, but because they have been conditioned to carry the emotional burden quietly. It is the conversation about guilt. Not the obvious guilt that follows a mistake, but the deeper, more insidious version.

When Leadership Stalls, Growth Stalls and the Data Proves It

 

Every organisation believes its biggest threats are external. The economy, the market, the competitors.

Why There Is No Substitute for Wellbeing in Your Leadership Journey.


Leadership is often framed as strategy, skill or strength. Yet, the real inflection point is far quieter. It lives in the habits we overlook because they seem too ordinary to matter.


Researchers at Harvard, in the longest-running study on adult development, found that the greatest predictor of long-term success was not intelligence or income, but the quality of relationships and the ability to regulate emotional stress.


In the United Kingdom, the University of Oxford’s Mind and Body Programme has shown that leaders who engage in reflective practices and intentional rest demonstrate sharper decision-making and lower rates of burnout.


Meanwhile, Professor Aldrie Henry-Lee at the University of the West Indies highlights that Caribbean models of communal belonging create higher resilience, but only when leaders learn the difference between healthy contribution and self-sacrifice.

Oh.. I like this perspective - " leadership framework hiding in plain sight." I really resonate with this sentiment, and I dare say it's a prominent feature in my Personal Strategic Plan for 2026
