Do we really need to reinvent the wheel? 🧐


​View in browser

Hi Reader,

The other day, I picked up a copy of one of my favourite magazines, Breathe magazine. My neighbour found out that I love reading it and handed me an old copy she still had lying around.

And I noticed something that shocked me at first.

They had published the exact same article about building new habits in both issues.

Word for word.

Same tips, same examples.

The only difference? The two issues were five years apart.

At first, I thought: How could this beautifully curated magazine reuse the same content?

But then it hit me:

Of course they did.

Because when it comes to building habits, the strategies don’t really change.

The fundamentals of forming new habits are the same today as they were five years ago.

And isn’t that true in leadership and business?

We often think we need to constantly reinvent the wheel.

Find something new. Say it differently. Keep it “fresh.”

But sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is…

👉 Keep it simple. Repeat what works.

As a coach, I sometimes catch myself thinking: I’ve said this before, surely everyone knows this by now.

But the truth is—most people need to hear it more than once.

And often, we need to remind ourselves, too.

Simplicity doesn’t mean being unoriginal.

It means honouring what’s proven.

And trusting that consistency beats novelty.

View in browser Hi Reader, Fall has definitely arrived on Vancouver Island, and I’m loving the autumn colours. Last weekend, the weather was stunning; we even enjoyed sitting outside, and then, almost overnight, the temperatures dropped. I’m actually enjoying the change of seasons, though. 🍂 In today’s Backyard Gossip, I wanted to take you back to the theme of simplicity. Because sometimes, the simplest things make the most significant impact. On one of my weekly jogs, I passed a couple out...

View in browser Hi Reader, After last week’s email, some of you shared such thoughtful comments. One person compared repeating what works to putting your favorite song on repeat - you always hear something new, but the melody stays the same. 🎵 Someone else shared how they start with 15 minutes instead of 30 when building a walking habit, making it more manageable. And one reminded me that, yes, sometimes we love to complicate things with drama. (Guilty as charged 🤣). It made me realize...

View in browser Hi Reader I just came back from a two-week break. No big trip. No grand adventures. Just a slower pace. The MBA semester has started again, and before diving back into the full swing of classes, I savoured some simple joys, like my Wednesday morning ritual. Every week, for 8 weeks straight, I joined a sunrise paddleboard group. No phone. No notifications. Just good company, water, light, and the quiet strength it takes to balance. 🌅 And honestly? That simplicity has been...
