The Hidden Cost of “Multi-Passionate” Branding in an Attention Economy Mar 21, 2026

You’re not multi-passionate. You’re letting your feelings dictate your business—and you don’t need to phone a friend, you need focus.

Welcome to the weekend and a more “stream of consciousness” type post based on what I continue to see when clients come to me for Brand VIP days or consulting.

The pattern is consistent.

“But I’m multi-passionate… my work can help everyone.”

And every time I hear it, I already know what’s sitting underneath it:

confusion, overextension, inconsisten...

Trust Recession in Branding: Why Most Brands Are Becoming Irrelevant Mar 19, 2026

Why are more people not aware of the trust recession? The reality is most brands don’t have a visibility problem. They have a trust problem—and they’re trying to solve it with more (of the wrong) content.

A few years ago, just showing up and posting would have worked. During COVID, people were home, scrolling, and more willing to buy. They were buying art, books, courses, and experiences they could have from home to replace the fact they were locked down. There was a collective urgency ...

60-30-10: Archetypal Alignment for Teams That Thrive Under Pressure Feb 25, 2026

If you've ever invested countless hours in coaching conversations, performance reviews, team offsites, and motivation strategies—only to watch alignment fray, burnout rise, and results plateau—you're not failing. You're just playing in the wrong part of the game.

In today's deep dive (adapted from my latest podcast episode), ...

Why Brands & Leaders Collapse When They Abandon Their Brand Archetype Feb 22, 2026

As leaders in high-stakes industries, we know trust isn't built on data alone—it's forged in the ability to create an emotional connection with our consumers & clients. In seconds, a scrolling potential client or consumer is unconsciously asking: Is this familiar? Safe? Credible? That's where brand archetypes come in, acting as the unconscious blueprint for recognition. Without them, your brand fades into noise never fully communicating who you are and why people should care. Over time, withou...

The ADHD Edge: Harnessing Myers Briggs (INTJ-T) for Peak Team & Personal Performance Feb 21, 2026

As leaders and high performers, we’re constantly seeking edges that drive exceptional results. Today, I’m sharing a powerful tool in how we approach understanding team dynamics: the synergy between the Myers Briggs personality test (Particularly the INTJ personality traits) and ADHD in the workplace.

After retaking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I landed on INTJ-T—the Architect with a turbulent twist. Paired with my adult ADHD diagnosis, this combo explained years of patterns: surge...

Porsche Brand Strategy: The Power of the Ruler Archetype Feb 20, 2026

What never goes out of style is authority.

In periods of economic pressure, technological acceleration, and cultural volatility, many brands attempt to reinvent themselves in order to remain relevant. They soften their edges. They experiment with new identities. They attempt to broaden their appeal.

But the brands that endure do something far less reactive.

They deepen who they have always been.

Recent market behaviour has provided a clear contrast. Some legacy luxury brands, u...
