Get Brain Fit

Get Brain Fit helps leaders and organisations identify decision pressure, psychosocial risk, and work design issues before they become injuries or claims.

Practical, insurer-aligned controls. Not wellbeing. Systems. I work with senior leaders to reduce decision overload, so clarity holds under pressure without working harder. I lower the cost of thinking.

Monday feels impossible.
It feels hard because too many things are competing for your attention at once.

That’s why I start every week with 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Before I touch emails, tasks and client work, I map out:

My weekly intention, my one big win, my key actions across each workstream and space for parking lot items that can wait their turn.

Nothing fancy.
Just visible priorities that help reduce decision friction.

Because when everything feels important, it becomes much harder to execute what actually matters.

A clear week creates:

Less mental clutter, faster decisions, better follow-through, and more meaningful progress.

You don’t need a perfect system.
You need one that helps you see what matters first.

I take 30 minutes on a Sunday for this planning. It cuts my Monday stress in half.

Start your week with clarity, not chaos.

If your week feels full before it starts, the structure is already working against you.

Happy Easter 🐣

Wishing you a day of good food, good company, and enough chocolate to offset whatever this year has been doing.

There is something very reassuring about Easter.

A slower pace.
A little more permission to pause.
And a socially acceptable reason to eat chocolate before lunch.

Whether your day looks like family, rest, reflection, recovery, or simply a quieter pace than usual…

I hope it gives you a genuine reset.

May your coffee be hot,
your chocolate be hidden from the wrong people,
and your inbox remain suspiciously quiet.

Happy Easter to you and yours.

02/04/2026

Trying to maintain professional standards before Easter is a special kind of corporate theatre.

Everyone is still online.
Everyone is still replying.
Everyone is still “across it.”

And yet somehow…
The entire week has the energy of a chocolate egg rolling off a desk in slow motion.

This is your reminder that "One last thing” is rarely one last thing,
decision quality declines in direct proportion to long-weekend anticipation,
and not all operational breakdowns are dramatic

Some simply arrive in pastel.

Happy Easter, and may your inbox stay suspiciously quiet. 😉

I once worked for an organisation that sent the entire team an email every single morning.

It listed every person's KPI progress. Names. Numbers. Visible to everyone.

No context. No conversation. Just a daily public scoreboard.

One month, I exceeded my billable target by several thousand dollars.

No phone call.
No acknowledgment.
Just the email.

I left.

Not because the work was hard. Because the system made it clear that performance was something to be monitored, not recognised, developed, or trusted.

That's not management. That's surveillance dressed as accountability.

And it has a name: Psychosocial hazard.

When autonomy is eroded, when trust is absent, when people are reduced to a number on a morning report - stress rises, ownership drops, and your best people start quietly planning their exit.

Micro-management doesn't have to look like someone hovering over a desk.

Sometimes it's an email.
Sent every morning.
To the whole team.

If you're a founder, CEO, or operations leader and you're not sure whether your oversight systems are supporting performance or quietly damaging it - that's worth examining.

What Most Employers Miss About Psychological Injury Claims

Psychological injury claims rarely become long-term overnight.
They become long-term when the connection between the worker and the workplace starts to break down.

One of the biggest things I see in my work is this:

It’s not just the injury that drives the outcome…
It’s what happens after the worker steps away.

When contact becomes distant
When uncertainty increases
When the worker no longer feels like they have a place to return to

That’s often when claims become harder, longer, and more expensive than they needed to be.

I’ve written a new article that breaks this down, including:

The concept of the occupational bond, how “secondary gain” risk can quietly increase, why long-term psych claims affect more than just one person and what employers can do earlier to prevent escalation

If you work with people, teams, or injury management, this is worth understanding.

Pressure leaves a pattern before it leaves a claim.

Most organisations don’t see the strain early enough because it doesn’t show up where they expect.

It shows up in:

delayed decisions
repeated escalation
blurred accountability
teams carrying too much for too long

What looks like a people issue is often a structural one.

If you want to surface hidden pressure before it escalates, I’ve built a short diagnostic to help map it.

5 minutes. Immediate results.

A huge shout-out to Emma Beer and her team from the Brain Injury Group for organising an outstanding Flourish & Thrive event to raise awareness of brain injury and the support available for people experiencing the life-changing impact of brain injury.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a vendor and to be a guest speaker at this event.

A brain injury may change your life, but you still have a future that needs to be created.

One big tip I shared in my presentation was to refrain from comparing yourself to your pre-injury self and start comparing yourself to yesterday. Focusing on doing the things that will create a better you tomorrow is by far more productive and rewarding.

Are increased workers comp claims and decision bottlenecks just "the cost of doing business"?

Most leaders accept high workloads as normal, but this often hides significant quiet costs.

I built something to help leaders and executives redesign how work and decisions flow.

It helps drop pressure, improve performance, and stop psychosocial risks from becoming workers comp claims.

It's called The Quiet Cost Quiz.

This self-assessment measures decision-load, leadership capacity, operational friction, and work design within your organisation.

It helps you identify hidden pressure hotspots.

The quiz gives you an immediate score and categorises your current state.

It shows you exactly where your organisation's pressure hotspots are hiding.

You'll understand how much decision-load impacts your team and output.

Discover if normalised pressure is costing you more than you think.

This is what I use to pinpoint where the real issues lie in an organisation's workflow.

Comment QUIZ or DM me QUIZ and I'll send it to you.

Most people think taking Omega-3 is enough.

But here’s what actually matters 👇

👉 Can your body absorb it?

Not all Omega-3 products are created equal.

Test, don't guess.

Without the right formulation - especially polyphenols - your body may not be able to properly absorb and use it.

So even if you’re taking it every day…
It doesn’t guarantee you’re getting the benefit.

That’s why testing matters.

The Zinzino Balance Test shows:

Your real Omega-3 levels
Your Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio
Whether your current supplement is actually working

It takes the guesswork out.

Before you switch products, increase doses, or assume it’s “fine”…

Check what your body is actually absorbing.

In one conversation, nothing was fixed.

But by the end, the person said,
“I feel lighter just having said it out loud.”

Sometimes clarity starts before solutions do.

Most performance loss doesn't announce itself. It accumulates.

Take the Quiet Cost Quiz

20/03/2026

Most people end the week thinking about what didn’t get done.

That’s useful. But incomplete.

If you don’t also track what did work, you miss the opportunity to build consistency into your performance.

A quick Friday reset:

What went well this week?

Where did you see progress (even small)?

What would you deliberately repeat next week?

For me, this week reinforced why my work matters.

I received messages from injured workers like:

“M𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘪𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

“T𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨'𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬.”

“T𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵.”

That tells me the approach is landing where it needs to.

Clarity, structure, and the right support at the right time can change how someone sees their next step.

That’s worth doubling down on.

What’s one thing from your week that’s worth repeating?

If you’re open to sharing - drop one win below.
Not the highlight reel. The real signal you want to carry into next week.....
