What I wish someone had told me at 33

leadership Aug 24, 2026

At 33, I became CEO of a company doing more than a billion in revenue.

I thought the job was to have all the answers - and managing (telling) people what to do was exhausting.

We started Brainwells because we'd experienced a different, more productive way of being an executive: Involving Leadership.

It means involving your team in a structured way - to find the best answers, build real engagement, and create ownership for implementing the results.

This shift is the entire idea behind Better Together: a method any executive can learn in under an hour, and use for the rest of their career, to turn a group of clever individuals into a team that actually thinks and creates together.

I wish someone had handed this to me at 33. Now I'm handing it to you: www.brainwells.com/bto
