LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS FROM PRISON

I LOVE WHAT I DO. I have a front-row seat to incredible journeys of transformation - from prisons to boardrooms.


JOURNEYS TAKE TIME  ... 
👉🏽 They're about building the tools and skills needed to navigate life and learning, both personally and professionally. 
👉🏽 It’s about rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, which ultimately shape our decisions. Along the way, there are pivotal moments, thresholds we must cross - where we decide enough is enough and break free from limiting beliefs.

Let me share a glimpse into my work in prison this past Tuesday.

>> PRISON SESSION <<

Today, we stood naked in our truth, faced our darkness head-on and took responsibility for how it has not only destroyed our lives but also the lives of those around us. As role models 'in the darkness', we've influenced the children in our families and communities to follow in our footsteps! We realised we had achieved nothing!

Feeling the weight of this in every fibre of our being - the cost to ME/WE - was a profound moment. 

One man put it so well: "It’s really sad now that I’m sober and start to see my own actions of harming a lot of people and even the people I didn’t want to harm. I thought I was building, not knowing I was actually breaking down."

That's the real turning point - only then do we truly grasp the urgency to change! 

🔑 LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS FROM PRISON (FOR BUSINESS)

1. Leadership is influence
↳ You’re always modelling - at work, at home, in society. What you model matters.

2. Stories shape behaviour 
↳ The beliefs you hold about yourself and others drive your decisions and outcomes.

3. Thresholds create change
↳ Transformation happens when you face hard truths and decide to do better.

4. Unconscious leadership is costly
↳ What you avoid or ignore can harm people - even when you think you’re doing good.

5. Responsibility is power
↳ Owning your impact is the starting point for real leadership and culture shift.

 6. Growth requires truth
↳ No real change happens without honesty - with yourself and your team.

7. From ME to WE
↳ Leadership is not just about you - it’s relational and collective. Your choices ripple out.
