Strategy isn’t a document, it’s a mindset.
In this episode, Tom Mason and Tom Emery welcome strategist, leadership coach, and author Charlie Curson for a powerful and practical conversation about how to be more strategic in both life and leadership.
Drawing from his book ‘Be More Strategic: 12 essential practices to build the life and career you want’, Charlie shares how real strategy starts with awareness, knowing what matters, recognising patterns, and choosing with purpose.
Together, they explore:
- Why strategic thinking starts with self-awareness
- How to make space to think and see the bigger picture
- Practical habits for building focus and direction
- The role of reflection, courage, and curiosity in shaping meaningful leadership
This episode is for anyone who wants to lead more intentionally, build momentum in their career, and design a life that aligns with their values.
