Quick Win: Lisa Leong reveals why doing a ‘pre-mortem’ could revolutionise how you set and achieve your goals

Do you find yourself setting the same goals year after year, only to leave them unaccomplished?
If so, it might be time to try a new strategy for planning your goals.

In this quick win I’m joined by ABC broadcaster and Host of ‘This Working Life’, Lisa Leong to talk about why a pre mortem could be the strategy you need to set achievable goals for the year.

Lisa shares:

  • What a ‘pre-mortem’ is and how it can help you set achievable goals for the next year
  • How to make sure a ‘pre-mortem’ works if you are doing it for a team
  • Why a ‘pre-victorum’ is essential to do as well if you are setting personal goals

Listen to the full interview with Lisa here.

The 5-minute brain workout Muse co-founder Ariel Garten swears by for better focus

brain workout focus neuroscience Ariel Garten Muse prefrontal cortex meditation mindfulness

You’re not lazy. You’re just out of capacity — and no amount of to-do lists can fix that. 

So what do you do when your brain is fried, your calendar is full, and you're still trying to show up for the people (and priorities) that matter most? 

Neuroscientist Ariel Garten has been there. As the co-founder of Muse, the brain-sensing headband used by over 500,000 people and backed by 200+ clinical studies, she’s learned how to work with her brain, not against it — using real-time feedback, five-minute resets, and a deeply human understanding of what it means to do less, better. 

In this episode, Ariel and I talk about: 

  • How she uses Muse to train her brain across focus, emotion regulation, and sleep 
  • The five-minute session she does daily to “work out” her prefrontal cortex 
  • What happens after meditation that makes the biggest difference 
  • Her go-to system for catching herself when she’s stressed, triggered, or procrastinating 

If you’ve been trying to push through the overwhelm, this conversation is a powerful reminder that focus, calm, and clarity aren’t things you force - they’re things you can train. 

Key Quotes: 

“What you have to do is recognise that it’s ok to have limitation and it's ok to only do so much in a day.” 

“Forcing yourself to do something that you're not good at, trains you to just do it better each and every time.” 

“My bad habits became my triggers for better habits — but only once I noticed them.”
