Welcome to The Kinetic Insight Newsletter! And thanks so much for being an early supporter.

I’ve spent the past decade as an executive coach working with hundreds of CEO’s—from the boardrooms of the Fortune 100, to startups in shared office spaces across the globe.

I’ve had the privilege of having thousands of confidential conversations with some of the world’s greatest leaders: people who are shaping the future of technology, sustainable energy & food, and even public policy.

The Secrets Behind CEO Success 🤫 

I got to peek behind the curtain and hear first-hand the stories & secrets of their success: High performance habits to manage 9-figure business. How they create a strategic plan for thousands of employees. How they pivot during an economic crisis. How to raise tens of millions from venture capital firms.

But perhaps more importantly, I also got to hear about their struggles: The co-founder conflicts that (almost?) tear companies apart. The ethical scandals and PR nightmares before they become breaking news. The imposter syndrome that keeps them up at night.

I’ve learned so much from these experiences that I honestly felt guilty keeping them to myself. There are so many leaders that could benefit from gleaning just a portion of these insights, I can’t keep them from you. And so this is my humble attempt to share 11 years of CEO leadership lessons with you in a bite-sized format.

And I’ll be honest: I’ve been hiding for years. I’ve had my own struggles with self-doubt, hesitations about putting myself out there as a “guru” that have held me back for too long—but I realized this isn’t about me.

It’s Not Me… It’s You

It’s about helping you wield your power more effectively for the benefit of all. Helping you navigate your toughest challenges, and make massive progress towards your life-changing goals.

Because too many people rely on your leadership to go at it alone.

That’s what this is really about, and that’s what I’m committed to.

So, now that we’ve covered why we’re both here…

What is the Kinetic Insight Newsletter?

In a world filled with so much noise and informational clutter, the Kinetic Insight Newsletter serves as your highly-curated source of world-class leadership development.

I’ll be sharing research-based best practices, thought-provoking insights, and practical tips that you can apply immediately in your business & life.

Sure, you can skim through and read some interesting tidbits (that you’ll forget in a few days…)—but since you’re a Kinetic Leader committed to realizing their full potential, I know you’ll want to get the most out of this: here’s how you’ll do that…

Truth vs. Insight

^{Truth is overrated…}

See, most people read newsletters searching for things that are true—or more precisely, things that they agree with. This is the well-known principle of confirmation bias, the human tendency to favor information that confirms our previously held beliefs. I’m sure you already see the problem with this…

When people read to find things they already agree with, there is no possibility for learning! You’re just re-confirming what you already know to be true.

That’s why most people stay stuck. But you’re different 😉 That’s why you joined the Kinetic Insight Newsletter.

See, truth is overrated..

I’m not talking about science, or the law, or who actually forgot to turn the stove off…

But in leadership, there is no objective truth

There is no “one right way” to lead. What worked for Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t work for Steve Jobs, and what works for Elon Musk probably won’t work for you.

And so any standard piece of advice (that so many “coaches” love to give) is inherently absent of context.

For example, “be bold!” is great advice for someone who tends to be shy. But for someone who tends to be more assertive, their attempts at boldness will likely bulldoze people and create resentment. It also might work well when asking for a raise, but not so much when negotiating with your board.

How to Develop Breakthrough Insights 🤯 

In-sight, taken literally is about looking inside yourself. Seeing into your inner world for what is true subjectively, in your own experience.

To continue on the previous example: the thing that matters most—for your leadership—is not whether the advice “be bold” is true. It’s about how does boldness live inside of you?

• What’s your natural tendency on a spectrum of boldness?

• What comes up for you when you imagine being bold?

• What impact do you have on others when you’re bold?

• Where has your version of bold helped you so far?

• Where has being bold gotten in your way?

Forget what is “true” for others, and focus on what is true for you.

That’s how you’ll get the most out of your subscription, and develop breakthrough insights.

I don’t want to add another email to your overflowing inbox. I want to offer you the opportunity to develop transformational insights—to help you get out of your own way, and build leadership skills, to achieve sustainable high performance.
