The Hidden Story Behind How we Think
I’ve always paid attention to the way we try to explain thinking… how we map it, categorise it, make it teachable. I came across a framework recently that grouped thinking into four modalities — critical, systems, strategic, design. It’s tidy. It’s appealing. It’s simple and makes what could be an extremely complicated topic…palatable. And yet……

The Psychology of Money…not what you Think
Today I stumbled onto something that made me see in a whole new light. I realized that I’d been looking at the surface of an issue for years… and the real mechanism was sitting underneath the whole time. It happened while I was reflecting on a very familiar pattern: Why my money seems to constrict…

Who are you beneath the Résumé?
The return to the self you never actually lost. We talk about identity as if it’s something we build over time, you know, like a staircase made of accomplishments, roles, promotions, and the stories other people tell about us.

At the End of This Week, I Want You to Hear This: I See You
As this week closes, I’ve been thinking about how much we ask of ourselves while pretending everything is “fine.” We show up to meetings, push through deadlines, nod politely on Zoom… all while carrying a private universe of things no one else can see.

Change won’t happen if you don’t take responsibility for the process
Every day, people declare, “I want change.” More money. More clarity. More alignment. Better relationships. Better leadership. A deeper life. But the older I get, the clearer this becomes: Wanting change is a fantasy. Taking responsibility is the the only place true transformation can take root. The wanting feels good…that glint of hope. You get…

How is Building a business Similar to Doing the Crosswords?
I picked up this crossword puzzle book a while back – one that promised: “enrich your word power” . Today, without any grand plan, I opened it. My mind felt crowded, and I needed something different… something structured but playful, quiet but energizing. So I flipped the book open, landed on Puzzle #77, and decided…

How to Know the Difference Between Growing your Business and Scaling it
On Wednesday November 12th, I attended the inaugural Scalerator Association of Trinidad & Tobago live Zoom session: From Seed to Scale: The Role of Capital, Customers & Community in Scaling. It wasn’t another “entrepreneurs talk and share how they’d reached to the top”…instead everyone on the panel felt real and accessible, running businesses right here…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY

pause with structure before you act.
