The Captain's Journal Notes on Navigating Modern Leadership


Pull up a chair and welcome to my Captain's Log. Consider this my journal from the ongoing voyage of leadership – a place where I share candid thoughts, practical strategies, and reflections on what it truly means to lead people through today's complex world. Drawing on 17+ years of experience and the Nautical Leadership framework (finding your Beacon, Wayfinder, and Seafarer within), these entries aim to offer helpful perspectives and maybe a few useful charts for your own journey. It’s not about having all the answers, but about sharing the learnings from the storms and smooth sailing alike. Let’s explore together.

In the spirit of learning from timeless wisdom, I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we gather, work, and write. I live and work on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders—past, present, and emerging—and recognise their enduring connection to country, which continues to teach us about resilience, community, and navigating with purpose.
