This is a very personal message about a part of my journey I know some but not many know about.

In leadership I believe we set people up to fail whenever we only show the highlights.

The challenges for many of us are real. And can derail the strongest if you let it.

Aroha nui to y'all ♥️

Leadership is about to lose something we can’t replace.
Not knowledge.
Not information.
Experience.
Mentoring is an art. And it’s fading.
Where one generation takes responsibility for shaping the next.
Because some lessons aren’t taught.
They’re modelled.
There are things you don’t recognise
until you’ve been through them.
Things you don’t understand
until they cost you something.
I sat across from someone
who had already walked the road I was about to take.
They told me what to watch for.
I thought I got it.
I thought I listened.
I didn’t.
Months later, I paid for that decision.
Time gone.
Energy drained.
Money lost.
That’s when it hit.
They weren’t giving advice.
They were handing me experience
I hadn’t earned.
I ignored it.
So I paid full price to learn it.
If it’s not shared, it’s lost.
And when it’s lost,
someone else pays for it.
The cost doesn’t disappear.
It transfers.
Experience is earned. Not assumed.
The question is:
Are we making space for mentoring
or replacing it with noise?

Opportunity.
Is available right now.
As the playing field.
Has everyone.
Spring boarding.
From it.

It's ripe.
For you.
To take ownership.

It's a decision.
You can.
Either.
Make every decision count™️
Or.
Be someone.
Who will fall.
Below the line.
(In tomorrow's post I will draw what I mean by this).

If you choose.
To lead the line.

You must.
Set a new standard.
One.
Others will follow.

You must.
Learn.
HI Activation™️
In the everyday.
Achieving the long term success.

You must.
Measure.
The R.O.D™️ (Return.On.Decision™️)
Acknowledging every decision has an impact.

This is not the soft approach.
It is a new approach.
Where we stand strong.
At HI Global.

And...

As the lead.
I love.
How I'm getting.
To design.
Safe spaces.
To do exactly this.

I'm gathering.
Industry leadership.
Who care.

I'm asking questions.
Deep ones.
Where we find solutions.
Not just identifying.
The gaps.

I'm bringing together.
Conversations.
Shaping culture changes.

And I'm starting...
To make invitations.
For others.
To join the tables...

Because...

Safe spaces.
Are created.
Innovated.
With intention.

Disclaimer: I have never been known as the norm and nor are these spaces.
But they are containers to use as lens, filters to bring change and borders only you design.

P.S. none of this is written by AI as I can still think + act for myself: just yours truly.
Aroha nui (big love)

I'm concerned.
About the generations.
Growing up.
In this landscape.
You and I.
Find ourselves in.

It's confusing.
Education.
Hasn't changed.
Yet the world 🌍
Our kids.
Are growing up in.
Is continuously.
Changing.

It's scary.
Culture.
Has little.
To no standards.
You can be.
Who ever you want.
To be.

No boundaries.
Many choices.
Yet brimming.
With biases.
Dripping.
With conditionings.
And constant fear.
Of losing.
Who you really are.

How.
Can you know.
What to do.

How.
Can you do.
This world well.

If we as adults.
Struggle.
To lead.

What.
Are we who have been on the journey awhile.
Role model.

What is it others.
Will follow?

Why?
Change?

Because the younger generation.
Needs us.
Shape hope.
For the future.

And it starts.
With the decisions.
You make today.

Leadership is needed.
More now than ever.

Time.
Is now.
To get.
A measurable.
R.O.D™️
(Return.On.Decision™️)

Make every decision count™️

(Can't wait to get the R.O.D Book into leadership.)

Extremes.
Means many choose.
One way.
Or the other.

I believe.
This is a lie.

Many humans.
Make decisions.
On what the world.
Has normalized.
Not standards.
You align with.

Your decision.
Today.
Shapes.
Your tomorrow.

So you want the old?
Same results.
Same problems.
Same processes.

You can.
It is a decision.

Or do you want a new approach?

Unapologetically.
I'm going to bring you.
A new approach.
A different conversation.

Why?
Because I'm not happy.
With the non stop.
Bad news.
No one.
Taking ownership.
Blame at full force.
Leadership.
Following.
Not leading.
Exhaustion.
Amongst the chaos.
At its max.
And this is just for starters!

So...

An extreme.
Brings tension.
It helps growth.
It brings change.
It shifts balance.

Use it.
Learn.
From the differences.
Gain new insights.

Disagreement.
Is not division.
It's different data.
It's a decision.

Challenge.
Is not disaster.
It identifies gaps.
It's a decision.

Belief.
Is not what is.
Normalized.
It's the standard.
It's a decision.

These decisions.
Will shape your tomorrow.

And this is why...

I will not stop.
Until you start.
To see.

The new conversation.
Is...

Human Intelligence.

I get AI is helpful.
But I believe.
Human Intelligence (HI)
Is the human advantage.

Dumb decisions.
Hurt humanity.
Smarter decisions.
Shape hope for the future.
Together. We shift the world.™️

The decision you make. Does determine. The result you want...

The choice is in your control.

Dear Awesome Human...
Is it truly what you need?

I'm not afraid.
Of change.
It's people.
Who struggle.
To see me.
Beyond.
My last failure.
My past mistake.
My old story.
My yesterday.

That frustrates.
Me.
As I continue.
To unfold.
My many different facets.
Not because.
I'm better than you.
I'm not.

But...

In my difference.
I have my genius zone.

In my awkward social moments.
I can communicate a depth
Many long to have.

In my dyslexia.
I have learnt more effective ways to communicate.
To be understood.
And to understand.

In my unbearable unworthiness.
I once felt.
I gained strategies.
That now help me
To serve the many.
And others.
To play a bigger game.

In my intense certainty.
Where I have no grey zone.
Where my yes.
Is a yes.
My no.
Is a no.
It can make some maybe you.
Very unsure.
Because it's not your truth.
Yet!
But it's mine.
For others maybe you.
It takes you.
To new levels.
Creates a future.
You ong for.
And every day decisions.
You make .
With no guilt.
No shame.
Just freedom.
Gratefulness.
And peace.

I love my busy brain.
It's the outside noises.
I find hard.
In the safe.
I get to share.
From my wisdom.
I have.
To embrace.
The smartness.
I add.
To collaborate.
With you.
Who are willing.
To be curious.
For the new.

And this is just for starters...
Imagine.
If you really got to know me.

Or others.

Who may not.
Sound like you.
Who may.
Do it differently.
Who you may not.
Get at first.
Or you don't feel.
Comfortable with.

Change.
Is healthy.
It disrupts.
Patterns.
No longer serving.

It designs.
New approaches.
Innovation.
Better pathways.

It is not one.
Or the other...

Together. We shift the world™️

Leadership.
Is not always.
A friendly environment.
To flourish in.

I wish it was.
But...
