Be brave: WHO > WHAT: First ask: who am I? Then ask: what do I want to do?
๐๐ฃ๐ฆ Welcome to the ROAR! For MOAR! Podcast, where we show you how you can play to win without burning out.
If you have a sense that there must be more to work and life than what you're currently experiencing, you've come to exactly the right place. You're caught in what I call the MOAR paradox, constantly striving for more, but never feeling enough. You're successful on paper, but you feel empty inside. You know something needs to shift, but you're not sure where to start.
Start with you.
In this conversation, I welcome Pierre du Plessis, founder of Be Brave, a strategy design lab that helps people and businesses find clarity amid chaos. In this episode Pierreโs insights offer the courage to move forward with courage and conviction. His work is rooted on the deep understanding of identity, belonging, and courage โ making this episode essential listening for those ready to embrace their true potential. Perfect for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to reclaim their inner power โ this conversation is your call to roar from the inside out.
My personal highlight from the conversation was the discussion about the role of asking empowering questions to fuel self-reflection, and growth was a common theme throughout the episode.

๐ธ About ROAR! and MOAR!
In ROAR! How to Tame the Bully Inside and Out (December 2019), I tackle the silent damage bullying causes, in the workplace, online, and in everyday life. The book helps readers recognise toxic behaviour, understand the dynamics between bully, victim and culture, and respond with confidence and clarity rather than fear or avoidance. I wrote it after discovering, the hard way, just how common and costly workplace bullying really is.

In MOAR! How to Play to Win Without Burning Out (February 2026), I turn to burnout, exhaustion and the quiet emptiness so many high achievers feel despite their success. Rather than treating symptoms, MOAR! introduces practical frameworks, including the Wellbeing Trio, the four-step ROAR process and the ROAR for MOAR Hero's Journey, to help readers lead with authenticity, build thriving cultures and reclaim their energy and voice.
