E100 - The Pause

Today is a little different. To mark Episode one hundred, I decided not to bring in a guest. Instead, I wanted to pause and reflect on the ninety nine conversations that shaped The Inner Game of Change . This episode is a quiet look back at how the podcast began during COVID, how the name was inspired by Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game work, and why Dr Michael Canic’s first yes helped set the tone for everything that followed. Across these episodes, a few ideas kept showing up. I also talk about what happens when we stay in change long enough for it to work on us, why elite athletes taught me as much about consistency as any leadership book, and how this podcast has become a place for curiosity rather than certainty. No expectations. No hype. Just a reflection. If one person learns one useful thing, it is a win. If one person manages change a little better, it is a win. Thank you to the guests who generously offered their time, and to the listeners across more than one hundred countries. I am deeply grateful. More conversations, more experiments, and more learning will continue in the new year through The Inner Game of Change and through the Inner Game of Change Institute. For now… a pause.
