Comparison is human. Decades of research show it’s part of how we navigate the world. But when we measure our insides against other people’s outsides, or our weaknesses against their strengths, it drains our creativity, our energy, and our focus. youtube.com/watch?v=HOOg0p…

Happy International Women's Day... from me and my 90-year-old-dad. He had something to add so watch to the end... it may just be the best bit! #IWD2026

We live in a world that constantly invites comparison. Every time we pick up our devices, our newsfeeds flood us with curated images, updates, and highlights from everyone else’s lives. It’s designed to capture our attention—but all too often, it leaves us feeling “less than,” stoking insecurity and fueling endless comparisons. Comparison is human. youtube.com/watch?v=HOOg0p…

Happy International Women's Day. While women have made huge strides, many still struggle with a lack of confidence My latest article on @forbes shares four ways we can build it forbes.com/sites/margiewa… #IWD2026 #IWD26 #GiveToGain

None of us arrive the other side of childhood without being hurt in some way. This is true even if you had the most loving parents. At some point, something happens that hurts us. But while our wounds are not our fault, healing them is very much our responsibility. youtube.com/watch?v=KH9aYZ…

So many leaders I meet — including some with enormous influence — are still leading from unhealed wounds. And whether we acknowledge it or not, we’ve all been wounded in some way. Even the most loving childhood leaves marks. Our wounds are not our fault. But healing them is our responsibility. open.spotify.com/episode/0Zg8Fw…

What kind of world would we be living in if those in power weren’t leading from unhealed wounds? youtube.com/watch?v=KH9aYZ…

It would be nice if life always conformed to our plans. If people always acted the way we expected them to. If things lined up neatly behind our hopes. But would it really? I mean think about it… who would you be if everything you'd ever wanted had gone your way? I'll tell you: not half the person you are today. youtube.com/watch?v=EnafUI…

Disappointment isn't a sign of weakness. It's evidence of investment. You can't be disappointed by something you never cared about. And yet we treat it like something to push through as fast as possible. To fix. To reframe. To get over. podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/141…

When Disappointment Strikes - Look For The Good linkedin.com/pulse/when-dis… via @LinkedIn

Research shows we consistently overestimate how long disappointment will last—which means a lot of what we're carrying isn't just the loss itself. It's the story we're telling about what it means. Because you didn't just lose the job. You lost the version of your future you'd already started living in your head. You didn't just lose the relationship. You lost who you thought you'd become inside of it. open.spotify.com/episode/2JHz3O…

You didn't get the job you were certain was yours. Someone you trusted let you down. Your best laid plans fell apart. We don't talk about disappointment enough. And I think that's part of the problem. youtube.com/watch?v=EnafUI…

The so-called “mean girl” Queen Bees? They’re more scared than selfish. In my latest @Forbes, I unpack why fear-not selfishness-drives women to compete… and how women who champion women change the odds for everyone.

When JoAnne Bass talks about courage, she isn’t pointing to a single dramatic act. She’s describing the daily decision to live your values and bring your full self forward, even when it would be easier to protect your image or chase short-term approval. Every time you choose your values over self-protection, you place a coin into the deposit box of the leader you say you want to be. youtube.com/watch?v=X0mocw…

Our identity - as people and leaders - isn’t forged in one defining moment. It’s built over time, through small choices that test our values long before the stakes feel high. youtube.com/watch?v=X0mocw…

Whether change arrives as a disruption you didn't choose or as a quiet whisper you can't ignore, both ask the same thing of you—let go of what's familiar. And that can shake your sense of who you are. Who are you without the roles, routines, or identities that have defined you up until now? youtube.com/watch?v=YW3mWn…
