A couple of weeks ago, I shared on here that I was finally taking my own advice and switching off. My AI assistant, Stan, told me off for it last week. He ran the numbers and pointed out that while I was supposedly off the grid, I had been posting and commenting quite steadily from the sunbed. He wa...

Workplace well-being initiatives often collapse into superficial perks. Free fruit, yoga sessions, and meditation apps look good in internal communications, but they do nothing to address employee disengagement or executive burnout. That is why we created The Closer Cut with Waseem Mirza. Episode 7....

I am taking my own advice for a change. When you run a one-man business, it is easy to convince yourself that the entire machine will fall apart if you step away from the desk for more than forty-eight hours. You tell clients and colleagues to pace themselves, protect their energy, and avoid burnout...

Over the summer, I completely closed my roster. No new additions. No intake calls. When I reopened it at the start of the month, my inbox was flooded with applications. On one level, that is flattering. It shows the visibility The Closer has built. On another level, it highlighted an awkward truth a...

A two-minute sizzle reel will never tell you how a speaker handles an unscripted room. Most bureau showreels are edited down to applause and punchlines. They look great on a website, but they give event planners zero insight into a speaker's actual depth, psychology, or live thinking. That is exactl...

Most business problems aren't strategy problems. They are relationship problems in disguise. When communication breaks down between teams, when clients drift away, or when internal politics stall a rollout, the issue is almost never the framework. It's how people understand each other under pressure...

I have mentioned before that my small terrace garden is my sanctuary. At the turn of the seasons, it is full of colour and quiet hope. When running a business, it is easy to spend every day living in the future, focused entirely on what comes next. Stepping outside forces a pause. Nature does not ru...

I once had a month run in time to book a host for a major international company's end of year conference and awards. They wanted a well known radio broadcaster to host both elements of the event. It was logistically difficult, with unforeseen complications along the way, but we got through it. I am....

Ten years ago, I was sitting in a friend’s garden on a sunny afternoon with a drink. My right arm and leg started shaking uncontrollably. I turned to my partner, announced that I must be coming down with a 24-hour bug, went home, took two paracetamol, and went to bed. The next morning, I walked to...

The mince pies land in September. The big-budget adverts drop in early November, and the nation stops to review them like it’s the Oscars. Somewhere a red lorry covered in fairy lights is driving through a small town, and grown adults are crying at a two-minute film about a penguin, a dragon or a ...
