"So many books focus on how to succeed at work - this one ensures you can succeed in life as well - and THIS is success! Balancing Act recognises that real success has to include wellbeing, family and purpose as much as performance. It's practical, sustainable and refreshingly honest about what it takes to build a life that actually works." Sarah Willingham - Entrepreneur, Investor, and former Dragon on BBC's Dragons' Den "There is so much information available to help improve yourself as a leader that it can be overwhelming, but this book cuts through the noise and speaks directly to the reality of leading people while trying to be at your best yourself. What I admire most is how practical it is. The ideas are grounded in real experience and backed by science, but they are also simple enough to put into practice straight away. It's a book that helps you think clearly, make better decisions and stay true to what matters. I recommend it to anyone who wants to perform at a high level whist maintaining their balance and whole life success along the way." Matthew Peet - Head Coach of the Wigan Warriors first team "Balancing Act takes the reader on a thoughtful and well-crafted journey, guiding you to rethink success through the lens of evolving calibration.
The author has skilfully woven purpose, wellbeing, and practical leadership tools, offering a framework which feels both inspiring and usable. Two standout takeaways are the idea that true success requires a dynamic balance - continuous calibration across work, health, and wellbeing; and that emotional intelligence, skilled communication and resilience, coupled with clarity of purpose, provide the essential anchors for sustaining performance. Balancing Act is ideal for leaders who want to achieve sustainable success by balancing purpose, performance, and wellbeing". Mrs Alexandra Charles - Head of the International Business School at the University of Derby.
