Emotional High Performing C-Suite Exec’s, Entrepreneurs, and Neurodivergent people that live in the lower spectrum of emotional intelligence are likely to self-sabotage themselves as a way of trying to improve, control, or change an outcome. Ironically, being a “high performer” and being “neurodivergent” can sometimes clash because on one end, we’re action-taking machines that are fuelled by passion and relentless ambition, while on the other end, we’re terrified, unsure, and afraid of judgement, hurting people, and leaving things untended to. As you may know, dis-ease can live within lower frequency emotions such as anger, guilt, and shame. Is it impossible to live your personal and professional life without such emotions? No, it’s not impossible. The key though, is to make addressing, healing, and clearing difficult emotions a practice that you can do on your own whenever you’re feeling as if those emotions are disturbing your joy, happiness, or chilled state. That's where I come in as High-Performance Coach. Emotional High Performing C-Suite Exec’s, Entrepreneurs, and Neurodivergent people process emotions in a way that is different to a Neurotypical person. We’re much more likely to be hard on ourselves, to default to anxiety, and to get triggered by what we seemingly are losing control over. It’s in that exact moment where being a “high-performer” becomes real for us. While my clients and I journey together into the realms of diminishing self-sabotage, there’s a series of revelations that come to the surface regarding the beliefs about emotions, the beliefs about others, and the beliefs about who they are today as a result of their past. By simply noticing the emotion without making ourselves wrong about it, we already upgrade our conscious programming because we learn to observe from a place of detachment and meaningless. That’s what I invite you to practice: 1. Observing the emotions (responding vs reacting) 2. Detachment (not being attached to having things look, be, or feel a certain way) 3. Meaningless (remove the meaning from the emotion and identify what you’re left with when there’s no meaning to it) You’ll find that you earn your power because you become un-phased by things; you become less of a victim to your circumstances and more of a person that has choices working in her favour.

CEO is Just a Title, Don't Get Carried Away... The Problem with the CEO Title? We've all seen it - someone becomes a CEO and suddenly they think they're invincible. They start making decisions without consulting others, they become distant from their team, and they start to believe they know it all. But here's it - being a CEO means you're human, just like everyone else. You have strengths and weaknesses, just like everyone else. And you can make mistakes, just like everyone else. So, how do you stay grounded as a CEO? Here are a few tips: ✅ Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth - Stay humble and hungry - Always be willing to learn ✅ It's Not About You, It's About the Team Being a CEO means you're a leader, not a dictator. It means you're part of a team, not a one-person show. Empower your team, trust them, and give them the autonomy to make decisions. ✅ Focus on the Vision, Not the Title Remember, the title is just a means to an end. The end is the vision, the mission, and the impact you want to make. ✅ Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help You don't have all the answers, and that's okay. Ask for help, seek mentorship, and learn from others. ✅ Be Authentic, Be Vulnerable Be yourself, don't try to be someone you're not. Share your struggles, share your fears, and share your doubts. ✅ Lead with Empathy Understand that everyone has their own struggles and challenges. Be kind, be compassionate, and lead with empathy. ✅ Celebrate Your Team's Successes As a CEO, it's not about you - it's about your team. Celebrate their successes, recognize their achievements, and reward their hard work. ✅ Stay Curious Stay curious, keep learning, and always be open to new ideas and perspectives. ✅ Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously Remember, it's just a title. Don't take yourself too seriously, and always maintain a sense of humor. Note that: Being a CEO is not about the title, it's about the impact you make. It's about the people you serve, the problems you solve, and the difference you create. So, don't get carried away with the title. Stay focused, stay humble, and always keep learning. Let's build a community of entrepreneurs who support and uplift each other. Share your thoughts, share your experiences, and let's grow together! Happy Building...🎉

Has it been two months of freedom? Or two months of failure… Here’s what I’ve Loved, Learned and Longed For. Since leaving a comfy corporate job. ---LOVED--- 🤖 Building an AI learning platform It's already helped 400+ users with their Hard Conversations 🎙️Speaking At conferences and podcasts: - “AI Coaching: Fad or Future” with Edifai Nick Villani and IRM UK Andrew M. - “I don’t want to fit in, I want to belong” with Tomasz 'TK' Kropiewnicki, Arif Bobat, Andy Brack - “Reimagining Employee Onboarding” with The EX Space. Emma Bridger, Katie Austin, Lee Smith 😍 Parenting Being at home every day with my son. Especially on Friday, dress up and dance at Heartbeeps. ---LEARNED--- 🧪 Experiments Gurdeep Dhaliwal reminded me of the excellent Lean Startup book. I’m learning that building a successful business will take thousands of small and big experiments and, more importantly, many brutal failures. 💰 Money I wasn’t going to include this, but it’s an important topic. I’m learning that getting paying customers will be more challenging than I thought. I earned turnover in the last two months, which I’m happy about (I was expecting zero). At a deeper level, I am learning more about my relationship with money. 🥵Burnout I can already see why so many founders get burnt out. The games it plays on your mind are intense. To make matters worse, I was sick for almost two weeks. I hit a really low point. I was seriously questioning, “WTF have I done?” ---LONGED FOR--- 🙀Focus To begin with, I worked on too many things. I have a commitment problem, and it’s hard to focus and adapt. 🤝 Connection I miss having wonderful teammates like Zeib K., Lauren Kucic, Jorge Espino Corona, Chris Smith, Adrian Gargett, and Danny Nguyen. Being a business owner is indeed lonely. 👤 Ideal Customer Profile I started without a clear idea of my customer. The current iteration is "Innovative L&D and HR leaders who support large groups of employees crying out for help with hard conversations (and the traditional training options aren't working)." ---LOOKING AHEAD--- 📣 Manchester Tech Festival Talk on “I don’t want to fit in. I want to belong” (tomorrow!) 📆 Attending CIPD conference in Manchester to make new connections. 📈Many, many more experiments Hat tip to Eva Dobrzanska and Hannah Parvaz for inspiring this post #business #coaching #entrepreneur

For those of you who are new to me, let me introduce myself. I'm the creator of Open Loop Mastery and the pioneer behind the concept of Open Loop Fatigue—a former filmmaker, entrepreneur, business coach, and single mum, who intimately understands the challenges of juggling multiple responsibilities and mental overload. As a screenwriter and director, I spent years mastering the art of opening loops. In film, each loop is always closed with a satisfying resolution at The End. Opening and closing loops at just the right moment was a core part of my craft. Reflecting on my widely acclaimed TEDx Talk, in which I share my life-changing 33-day walk across 800 km of Spain with my two sons, aged only 12 and 16, I had a pivotal realization: the storytelling skills I honed in film—opening and closing loops with precision—also help me navigate life. While the Camino de Santiago was originally a heartfelt personal journey, it became clear in light of identifying Open Loop Fatigue that the skill of closing mental loops leads to unparalleled satisfaction, clarity and renewed energy. This personal revelation became even clearer when I facilitated a closing ceremony for a group of entrepreneurs. I discovered something profound: most people do not have the skills to consciously close the mental loops in their own work and lives. This insight ignited a deeper vision for me. I realized that while many people excel at starting or executing projects, ideas, and tasks, they often become entangled in their open mental loops—leading to overwhelm, mental fatigue, and the constant frustration of unfinished business. When I identified Open Loop Fatigue, my mission evolved: it wasn’t just about closing loops on screen or in the marketplace anymore—it became about equipping others with the skills to close the open loops in their own minds and lives. Determined to solve this problem, I dove deep into research and developed Open Loop Mastery System. This innovative diagnostic quadrant and framework for practice helps high-achieving entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams systematically close mental loops, reclaim their focus, and boost productivity—freeing up mental energy for what truly matters: achieving goals, fostering creativity, and maintaining balance in life. I am passionate about sharing this system with others, helping them go from overwhelmed to in control. As a published author, successful crowd-funder, and TEDx speaker, my mission now is to help people develop the mental clarity they need to thrive in today’s fast-paced world. Through Open Loop Mastery, I’ve created a system that empowers entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams to identify the mental loops that hold them back, develop conscious closure skills, and regain control of their focus, time, and peace of mind. Please connect with me, Melanie Gow, I'm writing a book and looking for beta readers. I'd like to widen the research, please participate. https://lnkd.in/d3B8sNX4

Start-up founders, RELAX! Yes, really - you can chill out. Here’s why: --> Your value prop may not be unique, but execution will be -Ditch the perfect pitch; ideas are dime-a-dozen. -It’s your execution that counts. -Trust you’ll figure out the “unique value” part as you go. --> Forget 'product-market fit' for now -You’ll never know for sure until you’re actually out there. -Build, launch, and pivot like your life depends on it. -Perfection is a myth. -->You’re not hiring the Avengers at the start Stop obsessing over “dream teams.” You need scrappy, resilient people, not always superstars. Great people grow with you; they're not unicorns on Day 1 --> Yes, a few weeks of cash will not kill you -Many start-ups made it on fumes. -Yes, financial runway is important. -But you’ll find creative ways to extend it when it matters. --> Start-up operations are supposed to be messy -Streamlined operations? Not now. -If you’re growing fast, things will be chaotic. -Just keep the wheels on for now and refine as you go. --> Your customer is out there, whether you’ve met or not. -Stop spending all your time building a “perfect” audience. -Find them, connect, and adapt your pitch. -Early adopters care more about results than your narrative. --> Roadmap? Try a compass instead -Detailed planning in a volatile environment? Good luck. -A flexible roadmap is useful, but you’ll need to adjust a lot. -Focus more on direction than destination. --> KPIs don’t need to be complex -Skip the endless tracking. -Find one or two metrics that matter most, and get to work. Growth and retention tell you a lot without drowning in data. --> Risk is everywhere, so stop trying to avoid it. -Don't try planning for every “what if”. -Accept uncertainty as a constant. -Learn to roll with the punches. --> Burnout is real - so, pace yourself -Your company will last longer if you do. -Trust that breaks make you sharper. -Taking care of yourself isn’t weakness; it’s your edge. Ditch perfectionism; simplify, and embrace unpredictability. You’ll be amazed how much more effective things feel. So go on, relax, and swim with the tide. Are you afraid where it might take you? #startup #growth #fundraising

💡 Lessons learned over 15 years from Matt Gray founding his successful companies. There are few shortcuts to success, but a few that work. #8020rule #automate #eliminate #delegate
This took me 15 years to learn, I’ll teach it to you in 5 minutes. How to go from founder prison to founder freedom: I built a company that runs on autopilot and pulls in $1.2M monthly. Over the last 9 years, I’ve reduced the hours I work from 60 per week to just 4 hours a day. But it wasn’t always like this. My first business, Bitmaker, left me depressed and burned out. The business I’d created felt like a cage. I was a slave to my operations, clients, and company. Then I realized the only way to achieve lasting happiness was through autopreneurship. Autopreneurs architect their ideal lives. They control the “4 Ws”: • Work Where they want • On What they want • With Who they want • Wherever they want This is Every Day Retirement - living a life you’d never want to retire from. Here’s how to do it: 1. Complete Your Ikigai Your reason for being. It lies at the intersection of: • What brings you joy • What you’re good at • What the world needs • What you can get paid to do I focused on my strengths and passions, and it transformed my life. Here’s mine: • Leveraging systems • Selling online education • Helping founders automate • Solving founder overwhelm I found my Automated Empire sweet spot. 2. Whole Body Yes I’ve learned it’s important to say no to things fast. Only say yes to things that are a “hell yes.” When evaluating a new opportunity, I ask: • Does my gut say yes? • Does my head say yes? • Does my heart say yes? Whole Body Yes = when you are in full alignment. Only you know what’s right for you. If any part says no, walk away. Conviction will lead you to the right path. 3. Apply the 80/20 Rule Einstein once said: “The important thing is to keep the important thing the important thing.” 20% of clients drive 80% of my revenue. 20% of habits lead to 80% of my health. I ruthlessly focus on the vital 20% that moves the needle. Be intentional about where and how you use that 20%. Identify which tasks bring you life or drain it. 4. Delegate, Eliminate, Automate Some essential automation tools for any Autopreneur: • Loom for SOPs • Kajabi for websites • ConvertKit for newsletters • Skool for online community • Asana for project management • Seamless to connect with fellow founders Eliminate what’s unnecessary, automate what you can, and delegate the rest. Take these 3 principles to unshackle yourselves and create the life you want to live. Autopreneurship is freedom through automation. Architect your way of being and break free of the founder's prison for good. — Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Matt Gray for more. Want systems to build your Automated Empire?
