EP155 The Identity Required to Play a Bigger Game

Send us Fan MailWe all love the idea of playing a bigger game don’t we?The bigger business. The book. The stage. The visibility. The opportunities. The money. The impact.We put it on the vision board, write down the goals and decide we're bloody well going for it.And then the game actually starts.Suddenly there are other people on the board. Decisions you weren't expecting. Rejection. Uncertainty. Things going wrong. Opportunities arriving at spectacularly inconvenient times. Bills that apparently require the GDP of a small country.And the identity that was perfectly capable of handling the life you had is suddenly being asked to handle a life she's never lived before.That's where the real identity work begins.In this episode of The Reinvention Era, I'm talking about what it actually takes to play a bigger game when you can't control how the game unfolds.I'm also sharing what happened during a recent HorsePower VIP day with Jenni Winter-Leach, where a few horses gave me a rather confronting demonstration of something I talk about all the time:Leadership isn't something you announce. It's something that's felt.We talk about:Why growth often exposes the identity that created your previous successThe difference between control and self-leadershipWhy high-performing women can be brilliant at leading everyone except themselvesWhat horses taught me about congruence, trust and outsourcing our certaintyWhy your old coping strategies can get LOUDER as your world expandsThe high-functioning trap of being busy, useful, perfect and indispensableWhy increased capacity doesn't mean learning to tolerate more shitThe difference between urgency and importanceWhy your Designed Self can't come with evidence, because she's never existed beforeAnd the one question to ask when you're overwhelmed by everything happening on the board: What's my next move?Because the Queen might be the most powerful piece on the chessboard.But none of that power means a damn thing while she's sitting safely in the box.At some point, you've got to get in the fucking game.BE YOU NOWIf this episode feels uncomfortably familiar, this is exactly the conversation we're taking into the room at Be You Now: The Identity Reinvention Event for Founders & Business Owners.📍 Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge📅 Friday 4th September 2026This isn't another day about cramming more strategies into your already-overloaded brain.We're talking identity.
