Mike creates AI generated podcasts of his recent thought leadership
Control Your Stance
This 35-minute podcast explores how leaders can maintain control when facing rapid, externally driven changes that feel overwhelming or political. It emphasises the importance of distinguishing between objective facts and subjective interpretations, urging individuals to shift from being reactive to becoming intentionally commitment-driven. By analyzing their "way of being," leaders can move away from defensive collapse or complacency toward a state of confident clarity and grounded action. The material provides a framework for self-enquiry to help bridge the gap between current unpredictable contexts and a desired future. Ultimately, Mike suggests that while you cannot always dictate the speed of change, you can always choose the internal stance you take toward it.
Operating Primer for Leadership
This 36-minute podcast offers a strategic orientation designed to help leaders identify the hidden drivers of their performance and results. Rather than offering tactical tools, the podcast focuses upstream, arguing that professional plateaus occur because actions are dictated by an unexamined internal context and identity. Mike distinguishes between management, which seeks predictability, and leadership, which is required to break through the status quo into a generated future. By understanding how situations "occur" to them, leaders can move beyond Drift - a state of busy but stagnant progress rooted in the past. Ultimately, Mike suggests that true transformation requires a shift in commitment and structural reinforcement rather than simply increasing effort.
