Tools for the space between sessions.

A few of the exercises I use with clients, open to anyone. Use them before we meet, between sessions, or entirely on your own. What you type stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to me unless you choose to send it.

Reading & listening

Things I find myself recommending more than once.

AI & Data
  • One Useful Thing

    Ethan Mollick's field notes on working with AI. Rare writing that is both early and sensible.

  • Building Effective Agents

    Anthropic's quietly practical essay on agent design. I send it to every team that says the word "agentic".

  • The Rundown AI

    Daily AI news filtered for signal. How I keep up without doomscrolling.

Personal Development
  • Atomic Habits

    Small systems beat big resolutions. The book I have gifted most often.

  • Daring Greatly — Brené Brown

    Vulnerability as courage, not weakness. Required reading for anyone who leads, parents, or begins anything new.

  • Never Split the Difference

    Chris Voss on negotiation as empathy: tactical listening that works as well in a boardroom as in a hostage call.

Coaching
  • Co-Active Training Institute

    Where I'm training. The model holds people as naturally creative, resourceful and whole, which changes everything.

  • The Coaching Habit

    Michael Bungay Stanier's seven questions, which turned my managerial advice-giving into actual curiosity.

  • The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

    Mark Manson on choosing what to care about. Crude title, surprisingly careful thinking about values.

Podcasts I Follow
  • The Diary of a CEO

    Steven Bartlett's long-form interviews, with business as a window into how people actually work.

  • Who We Are with Rachel Lim

    Honest conversations about identity and becoming, from a founder who asks the questions that matter.

  • Humanising the Workplace

    On bringing whole humans to work. The quiet shift I want more leaders to take seriously.
