Get in touch with us! We’d appreciate your feedback and comments. “Reinvention isn’t a reaction — it’s a practice. You get ahead by reading the signals in your system before disruption arrives.” Piers Fallowfield-Cooper.Have you ever felt a subtle tug — a whisper from within — telling you that something needs to change? Maybe your current path no longer fits. Maybe you're not stuck, but you’re not evolving either. In this episode, I sit down with Piers Fallowfield-Cooper to unpack how reinvention isn't something we reserve for crises — it's a skill we should practice regularly, long before we need it.Piers is someone who’s led from the boardroom to the coaching chair. From navigating London’s financial markets to co-founding global ventures and now helping leaders unlock clarity through his coaching, Piers’ journey is built on listening — not just to others, but to the quiet inner cues that guide us toward growth. He’s also the author of Are You Still the Future?, a book that challenges us to evolve before we’re forced to.Together, we discuss how to read those internal signals, the difference between goal-setting and directionality, and why flexibility — not perfection — is the real key to resilience. Whether you're feeling restless in your current role or just craving something more, this conversation might just be the invitation to your next chapter.Piers Fallowfield-Cooper is a former financial executive turned coach, mentor, and author of Are You Still the Future?. With decades of leadership experience across global markets, he now helps high-level professionals and executives lead intuitively, make meaningful pivots, and stay future-relevant through personal alignment and conscious reinvention. Key Takeaways:Reinvention is proactive: Don’t wait for crisis — learn to listen for subtle emotional or physical signals that it’s time to pivot.Directionality vs. rigid goals: Focus on intentional movement and flexibility rather than fixed endpoints.Emotional intelligence starts in the body: Being attuned to how you physically feel can offer early guidance for decision-making.Sacred listening builds trust: Coaching is not about fixing — it's about creating space for people to hear themselves.Future-ready leaders invest in creativity and relationships: As AI becomes more prominent, the human edge will be in our adaptability, empathy, and ability to build trust.Know when good enough is enough: Successful executives know what requires perfection and what simply needs to move forward.Choose battles wisely: Don’t spend energy on skirmishes — reserve your effort for what truly matters.If something in this episode sparked a thought or unearthed a whisper you've been ignoring, take a moment to sit with it.
