The problem is not that you need a new version of yourself.

It is that you have not paused to recalibrate.

In episode 2 of the of the Stay at the Top Summer RESET series, I share three simple questions to help you reset how you want to show up in 2026.

This is not new year, new me.

It is not about adding more.

And it is not about reinventing yourself.

It is about clarity.

This episode is designed to help you find it.

Season 4 Episode 18 is now live.

Which question do you need to sit with most right now?

Once you’ve listened I’d love to hear what you think below.

Busy seasons are not the issue. How you move through them is.

I have seen this for years in elite sport, and I see it every week with executives and leaders.

When the calendar fills, most people default to the same trifecta that drains their energy.

Eating becomes reactive.
Alcohol creeps up.
Movement drops off.

Add poor sleep and all or nothing thinking, and it is no surprise people end the season exhausted.

But it does not have to be this way.

Busy seasons do not need to cost you your health, your clarity or your energy. You just need a framework that holds when life gets full.

In Season 4 Episode 14, I walk through the exact approach I use with my clients so they stay steady, make better decisions and enjoy the season without undoing their progress.

It is simple. It is realistic. It works.

Energy isn’t something you earn by pushing harder.

It’s something you create by working with your biology.

I see high performers hit busy seasons and wonder why their energy drops, their focus fades and their recovery stalls.

The reality is simple: they’re operating against their physiology, not with it.

In Season 4 Episode 10 of Stay at the Top, I break down three science backed ways to stabilise energy and recover in a way that actually works in high pressure environments.

✓ Align your day with your circadian rhythm
✓ Work with your chronotype, not against it
✓ Respect the ultradian cycles your brain depends on to recharge

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start using a system that supports both performance and wellbeing, this episode will give you the clarity and strategy you need.

Which one do you want to dive deeper in to?

11/12/2025

Most people treat business like instinct.
Great leaders treat it like sport.

Ezio Mormile isn’t just talking strategy. He’s talking tactical awareness.
In sport, no athlete steps on the field without a game plan.
In business, far too many still fly blind.

If you’re signing off meetings, closing deals or leading teams, you need more than hustle.

You need a plan.
You need clarity.
You need structure.

Watch our conversation.
Ask yourself: do I know why I win? Do I know why I lose?
Do I have a game plan?

The gap between good and elite isn’t more effort.
It’s more clarity.
More discipline.
More leadership.

👇 What’s the one area where you need a clearer game plan this quarter?

The future of health is exciting. It is customised, personalised and optimised, but it still comes down to the decisions you make every single day.

What you eat.
How you sleep.
How you move.
How you manage stress.
The quality of your relationships.

This is what moves the needle with your health, performance and longevity.

There is no better feeling than delivering a session that creates immediate shifts and lasting impact.

It was a privilege to deliver The Wellbeing Secret: Mastering Sustainable Performance for the YPO Sydney chapter last month, and I am incredibly grateful for the feedback that followed.

Curious to know what ellite performers do differently to set them apart?

Here’s 8 takeaways from my fireside chat with that give you an insight into the dedication and mindset.

Overnight success is always years, often decades, in the making.

The deepest lows and hardest failures are a privilege.

Sustained excellence requires a relentless commitment and self-mastery

Improve on the person you were last year. Every year.

Be willing to let long held beliefs be challenged, reshaped and upgraded. Even when it’s uncomfortable.

Your biggest unlock lies in elevating the behaviours you do every day. How you eat, sleep and breath.

Master the reps and sets no one sees.

Live in a way that leaves no stone unturned and no regrets looking back.

Which one of these speaks to you the most?

It’s finally here. 🎥
My official speaker reel.

Over the past few years I’ve spoken to rooms filled with CEOs, senior leaders, high growth founders and elite performers.

I’ve taken insights from my work in elite sport, Special Forces and high pressure corporate environments and translated them into practical strategies people can apply the moment they leave the room.

This reel captures a glimpse of that work and a handful of those rooms.

I break down the science and systems that drive sustainable success, showing leaders how to create energy, build resilience and strengthen the capacity required to perform in high pressure environments.

If you’re planning 2026 events or offsites and want a speaker who blends science, lived experience and actionable strategies to turn wellbeing into a genuine performance edge, I’d love to explore how we can work together.

It has been a month of heck yes moments.

From an inspiring all women high performance panel breaking down why high performers need to build an operating system, where I was lucky to share the stage with , from and from

To the fourth and final online masterclass with Stratamax, where we have been exploring the inputs that help make wellbeing a performance edge.

To being a keynote speaker at the Human Performance Optimisation Symposium at Holsworthy Army Barracks with HPO delegates from all over the country and the world.

Then across to Bondi Beach where I shared my keynote The Wellbeing Secret with the Sydney YPO Chapter. It was rated 4.8 out of 5 and featured a Q and A with Dane which was a huge hit.

And last but not least, an in conversation event with at .au where I am a member. The feedback was phenomenal and it was so much fun.

I can’t wait for more of this in 2026!

Leaders who fear that self-compassion will lower their standards are usually the ones holding themselves to impossibly high ones.

Here is the truth:
Self-compassion does not weaken accountability. It strengthens it.

When you treat yourself with clarity, honesty and care, you think better, recover faster and make choices you can stand behind. You also model the behaviour your team actually needs to see.

Because people do not learn from what you say.
They learn from how you lead yourself.

If you want to understand the shift from self-neglect to self-compassion, and what this means for performance, leadership and wellbeing, tune in to Season 4 Episode 13 of Stay at the Top with .

What is one area where you need more compassion and more accountability right now?
