Leadership requires more than intelligence. It calls for emotional wisdom.
In a world where the unimaginable is happening continuously—across politics, climate, organisational life, health, and social life—leaders need more than strategy. They need presence, responsiveness, and the ability to think and feel with depth.
Leadership today cannot be reduced to following rules, applying procedures, or mastering tools. These still matter—but on their own, they no longer guide us through the unknown. What we face now demands emotional wisdom: a grounded, embodied way of responding to the complexity of human life.
This isn’t emotional intelligence in the popular sense. It’s older, deeper, and more demanding. Aristotle called it phronesis—practical wisdom. The ability to read situations with sensitivity, act proportionally, and hold competing needs with thoughtfulness.
My approach to coaching treats moods as conditions that disclose what matters. They shape how you lead, how others respond to you, and how strategy unfolds. Presence, care, and courage arise not from technique, but from a deeper clarity about what you are standing for.
This is not performance coaching in the narrow sense. It is an invitation to lead as a whole person—with depth, clarity, and ethical strength.
