30. Why Balance Matters
Update: 2025-08-04
Description
What if the key to long-term success isn't growth or efficiency, but balance?
Not the Zen poster kind. The kind that helps leaders stay grounded in who they are while staying agile enough to respond to whatever the world throws at them.
In this episode, I'm joined by Martin Clarkson, co-founder of Create Balance and a former senior leader at Marks & Spencer, a company that's seen both glory days and had to fight to stay relevant.
We explore why balance isn't a soft skill but a strategic one, and how clarity about who you are, what you do and why you do it builds the confidence to act in moments of pressure or change. From boardrooms to broken charities, Martin shows that balance isn't static. It's how you keep moving.
