In The ArenaGabrielle Dolan - 'Leading with story'In this conversation with Gabrielle Dolan, we sit with a simple but demanding truth: strategy needs many stories, not one. It doesn’t live in a sentence, a framework or a slide deck. It lives in people. And because people experience their work differently, strategy is always understood from where they stand.Gabrielle articulates this with clarity. Data can inform, but story creates understanding. Story is what allows strategy to move from intention to action, from explanation to belief. When people can see themselves in the strategy—when it connects to their own deci...

In The ArenaDr. Damien Taylor - 'The second mountain'There comes a time when every leader must pause and take stock.For Dr Taylor, it’s the passage between age 40 and 55, a stretch of life that exposes both the weight and the cost of relentless striving. It’s a season that asks harder questions, such as:Is this still who I want to be?What truly matters now?It’s a crossroad that humbles even the most accomplished. The first mountain’s confidence gives way to doubt, yet it’s here, in the quiet and discomfort, that purpose begins to form.
