In today’s fast-paced world, quality thinking has become a rare luxury. In this episode, I explore why leaders must protect time to think - not just react.

I dive into how meeting overload, diary mismanagement, and constant busyness can derail good decision-making, and shares practical ways to reclaim space for high-quality thought.

Emma also challenges the culture of endless meetings and reactive leadership, encouraging us to step back, reflect, and lead with intention.
