Welcome back to Dolly in My Pocket. In this solo episode — tactic six from The extra-Ordinary Leader — I want to introduce you to a metaphor that’s shaped how I think about leadership recovery and performance: The Aeration Chamber.
Just like red wine needs time to breathe to soften its compounds, release toxins, integrate flavours, and remove off-odours — so do we.
This episode explores:
- Why stress compounds make us volatile, tight, and less creative
- What “aeration” moments look like in the real world (especially if you’re busy)
- Why glimmer moments, coaching, and stillness are not luxuries — but leadership essentials
- How to create a regular rhythm of reflection that actually improves performance
This one is deeply practical, and (if you’re honest with yourself) probably exactly what you need.
