In the past seven days I led two Reframe workshops, and I’m so grateful for the presence of the attendees from reIGNITE Conference and Invest Barrie Starter Company Plus Bootcamp. It surfaced something I want to share.



Steven Bartlett wrote something recently that stayed with me:
“focus on what you can give and you’ll get what you want.”

What I can give is my own perspective, a reframe on how we lead. Founders sitting around a fire giving their gift to the world. A class of startups eager to bring a little joy or make change. I am exactly where I wanted to be.

That is where all of this started. Then I met Amanda Wilson-Ciocci from The Monarch & Co., and the universe seemed to line up with what I’ve been feeling.

Here is the part I don’t say out loud much. I never gave my book the attention it deserved at launch. I was running an old system that needed to move fast into the next thing, and the next build.

That system was wired over 30+ years of working life. It takes time to undo, and I still catch myself re-grounding. So this time I choose grace. I ground into the gratitude I have right now for exactly where I am.

From there I can see a second system running quietly behind the first. The one that needed permission before I moved. Needed to prove myself.

I’ve stopped asking for it. I trust myself more than ever. Thank you to everyone who sat in those two rooms with me.

Take a pause to answer this one, what’s your Ensō moment;

What’s your unique experience that you have the courage to take action and make real change?

How are you reframing leadership to do things differently?

P.S. Thank you to everyone who sat in those two rooms with me. Stay with me, reFRAME is evolving!

It was a full circle moment for me yesterday, an Ensō moment. A moment of deep gratitude.

This is year 2 for me at reIGNITE Conference , “Double Trouble”.

1st year I was so new. I had won my ticket through a social media campaign and felt it was a turning point for me. The theme ignited a fire of belief in me to one day be on these stages.

Deep with gratitude to Chris Adams for his mentorship.

Looking back now so much has changed since then;
- Ensō, A Tree Still Grows, my first book published.
- Miru Pulse Inc. is real and the vision is moving.
- The reFRAME Workshop has momentum and is making impact.

Being asked to have Ensō, A Tree Still Grows as part of reIGNITE Conference camper package is a real honour. Hosting the first pre-camp reFRAME Leadership is exactly what I set out to do with Ensō Mindset Ltd.

When I was a teen athlete it was a dream of mine to come to Olympia Sports Camp Leadership Camp, and while that didn’t happen I feel this is the next best thing!

So that full circle moment, closes one and starts another. Thank you to all the incredible people along the way!

What if leadership starts with your nervous system?

Join us September 17 at the reIGNITE Conference Conference for reFRAME: The Leadership Pre-Camp — an immersive experience designed for leaders who are ready to pause, reset, and reconnect with how they lead.

Because leadership isn’t just what happens in your mind.

It’s what happens in your mind, body, and nervous system.

Together, we’ll explore how to:

🧠 Reset stress
🌿 Reframe leadership
❤️ Reconnect with purpose
🫁 Rewire breath with Brian Coones

This is for leaders ready to step out of autopilot, create more clarity, and lead from a more aligned place.

Mind. Body. Leadership. Aligned.

📅 September 17
🔥 reIGNITE Conference — Pre-Camp
✨ reFRAME Leadership Workshop

Come ready to pause.
Come curious.
Come ready to see leadership differently.

Let’s reFRAME what leadership can feel like.

Late summer is wrapping up, and instead of trying to squeeze every last drop out of the warm days, I’m letting the season fade quietly. No manufactured joy.

I’ve had to unlearn performing and had to relearn what it really means to pause. No forcing a grand lesson out of what I do. Just simple, unhurried awareness.

We spend so much time trying to steer our experiences into something profound, when the real relief comes from putting down the oars entirely.

The real pause: Ma (間)

I love the ambiguous grave of Japanese. Ma (間)—the negative space, the silent pause between musical notes, the quiet interval between what was and what comes next.

It is the understanding that the empty space isn’t empty at all; it is where the actual life lives.

As this season shifts, give yourself permission to step into that pause. Don’t fill it with noise. Don’t force an “aha” moment. Just sit in the Ma—that quiet gap where you carry no heavy expectation, make no demands, and simply let yourself exist with no performance.

In Japanese, there are two distinct ways to write the word Miru (to see):
見る (Miru): Surface sight. Standard looking, scanning, or frantically trying to capture a moment before it slips away.
観る (Miru): Deep, contemplative seeing. Mindful observation that demands nothing from the scene—witnessing without needing to control, label, or force an outcome.

We spend so much energy trying to steer our experiences into something cinematic, when the real relief comes from moving from 見る to 観る—putting down the performance entirely and letting the moment just be the moment.

“No one celebrates you for being self-aware in a boardroom. But without them (strong roots=values), you are growing in someone else’s direction.” 🧘‍♀️🍃

I’ve made it a habit to open this book to a random page whenever I need to re-center, and today’s page hit deep. It’s so easy to confuse performance with actual purpose until you slow down and check your foundation.

How are you nourishing your roots today?

Stayed up last night for the lunar eclipse. 🌕

The clouds came and went. Playing with my emotions to capture the sliver of brightness left of the moon.

There is something about the eclipse that leaves an imprint on my soul. Where a shadows value is witnessed at scale. A quiet kind of beauty that asks nothing of me, only that I notice.

This morning, I hand crafted my coffee, I found myself looking again—at the light, the stillness, the memory of the moon.

Perhaps that is the beauty of impermanence:
some moments disappear,
but somehow, they remain. ☕️🌙

I’ve been reflecting. It’s been almost a year since I finished writing Ensō: A Tree Still Grows. Even though it didn’t launch until October, the writing wrapped right around now.

I still find myself returning to my own pages, watching what’s continuing to evolve from them.

Looking back at how we show up for one another, I keep returning to what the best coaches and mentors gave me. They didn’t echo my panic or feed my ego’s noise. They simply offered a place to pause—a still container where urgency could dissolve, mirroring back a beauty I couldn’t yet see in myself.

This poem came from that space:
Ensō, Who has been that quiet mirror for you?

Holding the helm. ⚓️🐶

My system for staying on course is surprisingly low-tech: chart paper. One box for every week, 78 boxes into a 5-year plan, with a BHAG sitting over the top of it all.

To actually earn a box, I have to answer one question with true, radical honesty: “What moved the needle this week?”

Looking back at Box 1, my answer to that question was completely different. Back then, my old operating system was running the show—wearing overachievement as a badge of honor, measuring success by raw output, speed, and how much I could carry.

Now? The shift is real.

Learning to pause has given me the space to hear, see, and discern which system I’m operating from.

Sometimes moving the needle means taking bold action; other times, it means having the grace to stop, sit with what I don’t know, and align with my vision instead of my ego. Sometimes is seeing that I filled the box 15 weeks in a row, and give myself more grace to really pause with grace.

There are still weeks where I think, “Am I crazy? What am I doing?” But those moments pass. Because every checked box represents a choice made for my future self—not just to work hard, but to steer true.

The needles we move change as we grow. What used to count as progress might just be noise today.
