🐎 Are you ready for primetime?
How would it be to bring more awareness and intention Introducing PrimingPriming, as taught by Tony Robbins, is a way to consciously set your mind and body for an optimal day. How you start your morning shapes your emotions, focus, and performance, so rather than leaving it to chance, priming helps you take control through intentional practices. Robbins’ method (which is a smoosh of other methods) combines breathing, gratitude, and visualisation, to condition your nervous system for a peak state, fostering confidence, resilience, and energy. How to prime yourself1. Breathe to Energise Start with 30 power breaths: deep inhales through the nose, forceful exhales through the mouth. Repeat for three rounds. This oxygenates your body, clears mental fog, and instantly boosts alertness. Think of three things you’re deeply grateful for—one small, everyday joy and two meaningful moments. Fully immerse yourself in the feeling. Gratitude rewires your brain for positivity, reducing stress and increasing resilience. But does it really work?It does! I, Ben, who wrote this newsletter, have been doing it for the past few weeks and am noticing a difference:
I have made a commitment to find more relaxation whilst being a busy person, and this practice is helping. Robbins has a free guided priming practice on his website. It's under 15 minutes. Give it a whirl. It may just help you know that... You've got this. Love,

"We cannot lead what we are disconnected from. And we cannot connect unless we slow down enough to feel." We often treat leadership as a cerebral exercise: charts, KPIs, strategy decks. But what if our most profound insights come not from our heads, but from our hearts? This week's article invites us to reconnect with the heart, not just as a metaphor, but as a genuine organ of perception. True leadership arises from attunement, presence, and embodied awareness. When we slow down and listen...
"Leadership-real leadership- is not a performance of perfection. It is a practice of wholeness." We’re often taught to aim for perfection; to get it right, to hold it all together, to lead without cracks. But what if that’s not what’s needed? This week's article continues an open invitation to lead differently through the lens of nature. Nature doesn’t strive for flawlessness; it works with what’s real, messy, and alive. And so can we. True leadership isn’t about polish, it’s about presence....
"Living systems don't need micromanagement. They need tending." We often think leadership is about driving outcomes or steering the ship. But what if it’s more like tending a garden? In this week's article, Melis offers a fresh take; leadership as ecology. Instead of pushing harder, it’s about creating the right conditions for growth. Like in nature, thriving doesn’t come from control, but from care, timing, and attention to what’s needed. When leaders focus on the work environment, not just...
