He can deal with his emotions in different ways. He can talk to his therapist. He can now have conversations with his wife about feeling something that he didn't dare to do before.

Yeah, there's a few things that really stand out. And being a coach myself as well, I typically look at the wheel of life, the eight areas of the life. And I normally ask my participants to do a self-assessment to look at the different areas. And there is consistency. It doesn't matter where I do the workshop.

I think if you've got to deliver in a leadership position, you've got to have the house in order. You've got to really have a strong foundation to work on that. And I talk a lot about professional athletes. I do the Ironman triathlons myself. So I exercise on average about three hours a day to look after myself to be able to deliver at the high level.

And I question people then who perhaps don't even go for a walk, who never move at all. All they do is working. And it's almost like if you compare this to a professional athlete, then imagine if you're an athlete and all you do is coming in and do going competitions.
