Every career has a moment where two paths quietly appear. In this clip from The Power Within, Olly Riches, Managing Partner Asia Pacific for Page Executive reflects on a defining “sliding doors” moment - the point where he chose not to follow the masses, and how that decision shaped everything that followed.

This is a conversation about independence, courage, and trusting your own judgement when the safer option is to blend in.

The full interview will be available on 1st January 2026

A rebel spirit in a pub kitchen. A curious mind in a software lab. A change leader inside global banks. Leah Stockley’s journey is anything but linear - and that’s exactly why it matters.

In this conversation, Leah and Keith unpack the real playbook for building momentum without burning out and for leading teams that challenge ideas, learn fast, and still leave the room as allies. From her early discovery of exploratory testing - which reintroduced creativity into highly regulated environments - to mastering systems thinking that sees organisations as living ecosystems, Leah shares how lasting change is built from context, not control.

They contrast two cultures: a psychologically safe “dream team” where robust debate sparks growth, and a blame-driven one where fear shuts learning down overnight - proving leadership climate is the invisible hand that shapes outcomes. Leah’s take on burnout is disarmingly practical: understand your daily recovery rate, build micro-boosts into your schedule, and celebrate small wins that recharge you when momentum fades. Her “glass-ball rule” reframes balance as intelligent triage - some priorities shatter if dropped, others bounce back. Knowing the difference is how you protect progress and yourself.

Together, they tackle the profit-first trap and explore companies that lead with people, planet, and progress - showing that sustainable performance follows when purpose drives profit. Leah also previews her forthcoming book, Momentum: Small Steps Lead to Big Impact, which distils 20 everyday leadership challenges into stories, organisational psychology insights, and next actions. Her upcoming online leadership academy creates a safe, on-demand space where managers can practice the human skills most corporate programmes forget - clarity, cadence, feedback, and environment design.

Come for the career twists; stay for the tools you can use tomorrow.
If you’re ready to lead with context, foster true psychological safety, and trade grand plans for smart, steady steps, this episode is your recharge for the week.

A powerful reminder from this conversation with Marion Muller @swizzyinSG on The Power Within:

At some point, we all face moments when self-doubt whispers louder than belief. What truly separates those who grow from those who stay stuck is this:

Choosing to back yourself - especially when no one else does.

This clip is a short but strong reminder that self-belief isn’t ego, bravado, or arrogance. It’s the courage to own your story, step forward, and say:

“Why not me?”
