When was the last time you completely lost track of time?
For me, I found DJing earlier this year (something the young me always wanted to do!). Discovering new music, syncing beats by ear, transitioning from one track to the next, and creating the energy and pace of a set—it’s a full immersion. Hours disappear, and I’m left energised and fully present.
But here’s what’s interesting: it’s also made me a better coach. My listening has sharpened, I’m more in tune with my clients, and I move through conversations like I’m syncing beats—present, intuitive, flowing moment to moment. DJing fuels my creativity and helps deepens my connection with those I coach.
It got me thinking about the power of getting lost. Those moments fuel our creativity, give us clarity, and open up new ways of seeing things. In a world where we now often live and work through screens and within four walls, finding what sparks our creativity and aliveness is essential. These experiences not only enrich our own lives but also enhance our work and the people around us.
In leadership, that’s where the real ideas and connections happen. When you step beyond the immediate, the whole picture shifts.
So, what’s your thing? What gets you lost and fills you up?
