    Mind the Gap: Getting Back in the Game

    We’re back and we’re starting with the gap. After an unplanned three-month break, Dr. Tina Allton returns to open a new series of the NOW Podcast. With 12 weeks left in 2026, she asks one honest question: were you all in on the one thing that matters most? In this episode, Dr. Tina explains the difference between failure and a gap. Failure means you’re still in the game. A gap is quieter: it’s the distance between what you declared and what actually happened, and it grows the longer it’s left. She shares openly how her own two-week pause became three months, and what finally broke it. In this episode: Why failure is never a verdict, and only quitting makes it permanentA story shared by Dr. Tim Storey about a man at a bus stop, and what one moment of not paying attention can cost a leaderSeeds, soil and sea currents: why change happens to everyone, but growth only happens on purposeThree ways to get back on track: give yourself permission to U-turn, let people speak into your life, and take one small step while it still feels uncomfortableFour reflection questions to take into the final quarterPractical tips: start before you feel ready, put it in the diary rather than on a list, and tell someone your deadline out loud This week’s challenge: write down the one thing you stopped that you know you’re meant to finish in 2026. Add two or three baby steps underneath it, then tell someone and give them a date. You can also email the team, and Dr. Tina reads every one. Twelve weeks is enough. Businesses are built in 12 weeks, habits are formed and books are written. Lift your eyes, watch the road and get back in the game.

    Staying Rooted at the Halfway Mark: An Honest Leadership Audit

    The conversation focused on the importance of conducting an honest mid-year audit as leaders, particularly emphasising women's experiences. A key theme that emerged was the value of returning to one's core identity and purpose, rather than relying on fleeting motivation or setting intentions alone. The discussion explored how practices, not just intentions, create true resilience using analogies like deeply rooted trees and Captain Sullenberger's emergency landing to illustrate the power of daily habits in building strength. Several points were raised, including the necessity of assessing real change since March, the pitfalls of drifting versus honest leadership and practical steps for recentering yourself as you approach the remainder of the year. Listeners are challenged to write three true statements about who they are and revisit their goals to ensure the rest of the year is driven by practice, not just hope.

    Unshakable: The Power of Roots in Leadership

    In this powerful season finale of the NOW Woman series, the conversation focuses on the foundational importance of being a rooted leader. Using vivid imagery of trees on wind-swept hillsides, the episode explores what lies beneath the surface of enduring leadership, a deep, quietly cultivated identity that withstands storms. One concept discussed was the distinction between rootedness and stubbornness, emphasising that true stability comes from flexibility and resilience, not rigidity. The discussion explores how challenges, criticism and even the toughest seasons can serve to deepen our roots, shaping our character and leadership capacity. Several points were raised, including practical questions for self-reflection, steps to deepen your “roots,” and the encouragement to recognise growth through adversity. Drawing inspiration from figures like Nelson Mandela and scriptural wisdom, this episode is an invitation to celebrate how far you’ve come and to step confidently into what you’ll build next.
