The 10 Degree Shift

About The 10 Degree Shift

Inside the CEO Mind explores the things leaders rarely say out loud — the doubts, pressure, decisions and questions behind the title. We protect the people who trust us, so we won’t tell you who said what. But we will share the patterns, the inner thoughts and the conversations CEOs are having behind closed doors. No hero worship. No management theatre. Just honest conversations about what it really means to lead from the top.

   AJ's Annual Gratitude Letter - Predictions for 2026

   As another year closes, I’ve taken time to pause, reflect, and honour all that 2025 asked of us - the loss, the love, the lessons, and the deep gratitude. This is the 22nd year I have penned a letter to my future self to create a vision of how I intend to grow over the next 12 months. I am reminded that in the western world we aren’t so great at rituals and endings and so I want to take the time to celebrate the year we’ve had, even the struggles, with gratitude and a belief that whatever happened was meant to be. Special thank you to everyone for being in my world this year it was a challenging ride, a tough slog at times and a joyful opportunity to cement what is most important in my life. This is a reading of my letter to honour my commitment to myself I also like to make it publicly available in the hope that it may inspire others to lean into visualising and manifesting their year also. With love AJ

   Beyond Scarcity Thinking - How leaders can shift from survival to possibility thinking

   Cathy Burke is a globally respected author and former CEO whose work spans from village classrooms to global boardrooms. Her experience and lens on leadership is unique, and her voice has inspired thousands to reimagine power, leadership, and what it means to be human. In this interview she speaks with rare clarity, heart, and depth of soul on how we navigate the complexity of our times. Our conversation flows from how leaders can move beyond scarcity thinking to access inner courage, and impact, to her fringe style approach to life from punk music to meditation and how the challenge of changing the world is a slow and steady and not always guaranteed thing. Grounded, ethical and articulate Cathy shares her story, her challenges and setbacks and the reality of life in our modern world. I highly recommend her book Today I Saw a Revolution https://www.cathyburke.com/today-i-sa... (https://www.cathyburke.com/today-i-sa...)

   IMPACT Culture - How One Law Firm Transformed Culture, Performance & Profit

   In this episode of The 10 Degree Shift, I sit down with Julie Morley, Partner at the Law Office of Conrad Curry, to explore her extraordinary 40-year career spanning government, outdoor children’s education, and now senior leadership in the legal sector. Julie shares the golden thread that has guided her journey: a deep valuing of people, genuine connection, and a remarkable ability to see patterns others miss—patterns that lead to better systems, smarter decisions, and commercial growth. But the heart of this conversation goes deeper. Julie and her leadership team had always prided themselves on being inclusive, people-focused, and growth-minded. Then came 2022 - when 10 staff resigned, all in a single year. It was a wake-up call. Instead of doubling down on old systems, they reimagined everything. Over the past three years, their cultural reset has generated extraordinary outcomes: Employee retention rose from 52% to 87% Income doubled Profit increased three-fold The secret? They scrapped performance reviews altogether. In their place, they created year-long coaching conversations centered around each team member’s IMPACT measures: I – Innovation M – Motivation P – Professionalism A – Accountability C – Communication T – Teamwork The philosophy is simple and deeply effective: Take care of your people, your people will take care of your clients, and your clients will take care of your profit. This episode is a masterclass for leaders wanting to build a conscious, high-performing, human-centred workplace—without the burnout, bureaucracy, or outdated reviews. Tune in to hear Julie’s wisdom, courage, and the powerful cultural transformation that is reshaping what leadership in law can look like.
