#17 Right-sizing isn’t just about fewer people - it’s about the right people, roles and leadership capability.

I'm continuing the series format with a 28day feature 'From Pressure to Purpose: Strategic Cost Efficiency Done Right'. I hope you love the insights.

As the week winds down, here’s a question I often ask leaders and professionals I work with:

Did your week drain you - or did it also give something back?

Many high performers don’t struggle with motivation or commitment.
They struggle with recovery.

That’s not a personal failure - it’s a signal.
A signal that energy and recovery aren’t being managed with the same intention as performance.

This Monday, I’ll be hosting an in-person workshop in Amsterdam with the Amsterdam Recharge Club: “Reclaim Your Energy and Sleep.”
We’ll work very practically on how to protect focus, improve recovery, and build habits that support sustainable performance - without overhauling your life.

If you’re joining, I’m looking forward to it.
If not, consider this your weekend reflection:

👉 What would change if you treated energy and sleep as performance essentials - not afterthoughts?

And if this is something you’d like to explore with your team or organization, feel free to reach out. 💛

Most people aren’t stuck in property because they don’t know what strategy to do. They’re stuck because they don’t know how to raise the money… and the thought of talking to an investor makes their stomach flip.

Because you’re thinking…
“What if they ask me something I can’t answer?”
“What if I sound like an utter numpty?”
“What if I say the wrong thing and it turns into something legal?”

And we get it. Properly.

We didn’t learn this from a textbook. We learned it in real life — raising money, doing deals, being challenged by investors, making mistakes, fixing them… and having those moments where you hear something new and you just feel that sick drop in your chest.

We remember one in particular — we’d already borrowed money and then we heard something we didn’t know and it was like…
“Oh no… have we missed something?”
“Have we left ourselves exposed?”
“Have we just made this harder than it needs to be?”
That feeling is horrible. And honestly, it’s avoidable.

That’s why we created Nab An Investor, so you don't have to feel this way...
And the reason people love it is because it’s not “motivation” — it’s practical.

You get the Toolkit straight away — and it’s like having the words in your pocket.

You’ve got the objection busters… the real questions investors ask — the ones that normally make people freeze — and we literally show you how to answer them calmly and clearly.

You’ve got scripts for starting conversations, proposal structure so you look professional, checklists so you don’t miss important stuff… and even support with showing up on social media so when someone checks you out, you look credible.

And then you’ve got 3 live calls a month with us — so you’re not guessing on your own. You can bring your questions, your proposal, the message you’re about to send… and we’ll help you tighten it up so you feel confident pressing “send” and confident having the conversation.

If that sounds like what you need, go to nabaninvestor.com.
Come and join us — and let’s get you to the point where raising money feels normal… not scary.

Change your mindset. So what now?

If pretty words are not followed by action, everything stays the same.

𝐄𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐄𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞
The live session has just ended "Let's Peoplerise with...". A monthly space to explore the key issues affecting organisations, guided by voices and viewpoints beyond the mainstream.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.
Together with Isabella Pierantoni, founder of hashtag#generationmover, we explored generations by stepping away from labels, rankings and stereotypes.
No “young vs senior”. No shortcuts.
Instead, we slowed down.
We looked at data, contexts, biographies — and asked a deeper question:
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬?
Today, eight generations coexist in the same present, but not in the same past.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 — 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬.

When we say autonomy, respect, commitment, future…are we really using the same dictionary?

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Seeing this doesn’t mean agreeing on everything.
It means stopping stigmatisation and starting understanding.

We also named shared, unspoken fears — obsolescence, broken promises, anxiety about a fast-moving future — not as a generational issue, but as the climate of our time.

Because understanding the world we live in is a shared responsibility.

Love Made This Happen. ? Love Made This Happen. 💛
This book was born from a season where I discovered that love is more than a feeling, it’s a choice, a strength, and a path to inner peace.
The love for God, for myself, and for others made this possible… and it can make it happen for you too.
This Valentine’s season, choose a gift that goes deeper than flowers.
✨ A gift of love, healing, and self-understanding.
