"I fell in love with Greece the first time I visited. Something about the light, the pace, the way people there seem to have an easier relationship with depth. That love was reinforced over the years by Greek friendships that accompanied me through my first years in the UK, people who brought warmth, philosophy and an instinct for the things that actually matter into my everyday life. Greece became part of how I see the world, not just a place I admire from a distance."

"And the philosophers were always there in the background. Aristotle, Plato, the Stoics. The idea that how we think, how we know ourselves, how we act from the inside out, determines the quality of everything we do. Long before neuroscience gave us the language for it, they were describing the same truth. The examined life is not a soft idea. It is a practical one."

Nous, in ancient Greek, is intuitive intelligence. The kind that sees before it explains. That is the leadership I am most interested in growing.
