One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make isn’t about your job, relationships, or finances—it’s about how you see yourself.

Your self-perception influences everything:

✅ The risks you take

✅ The boundaries you set

✅ The opportunities you pursue

✅ How you handle setbacks

✅ The relationships you build

If you believe in your potential, you’ll push yourself further, grow through challenges, and create a life that aligns with your ambitions. But if self-doubt takes over, it can hold you back from what you’re truly capable of.

It's in The Real Brief, my weekly newsletter on marketing, brand and leadership. Link to read and subscribe in the comments. https://s

The spiral after being wrong in public

The worst part of being wrong in public isn’t the mistake itself. It’s the spiral that comes after, the part nobody talks about, where you’re replaying it all evening and in the middle of the night and wondering if everyone in that room is now quietly revising their opinion of you. I’ve been there… So many times! And the thing I’ve noticed is that most leadership advice on this topic is actually about managing the optics. Own it quickly, move on, don’t dwell. Which is fine as
