| 6/15/26 | ![]() Refresh Your Leadership through...Food! - with Adam Kingl | What if food could do more than just fuel you - what if it could change how effective your leadership is?Adam Kingl joins Maya to talk about his new book, Executive Eats: The Cookbook for a Better Working Life - a first in the cookbook world. It speaks to something both Maya and Adam encounter regularly in their work with leaders: not enough energy, focus that isn't where it needs to be, and the ever-present threat of burnout.In this conversation, Adam talks about how food can support sustained energy, focus, concentration, emotional regulation and even creativity - and the practical side of making that work in real life. They cover flavor profiles, batching, building block recipes, and how to use cooking to reduce stress rather than create more of it.What you'll learn:The ten performance states a leader wants to be in at work - and how to use them as a starting point for changing how you eatHow one simple building block recipe can become dozens without significantly more effort or skillExecutive Eats: The Cookbook for a Better Working Life is out on 16th June 2026 and is available now to pre-order from all major online book retailers.Adam Kingl is an author, educator, keynote speaker and consultant affiliated with a number of leading business schools including London Business School, Imperial College and UCL School of Management. Executive Eats is his third book, following Next Generation Leadership and Sparking Success.

| 2/9/26 | ![]() Designing a Morning That Works (Even If Life Is Messy) | Do morning routines really work if you’re not naturally disciplined, consistent, or living a perfectly predictable life?In this episode Maya Gudka answers a listener question that captures why so many high achievers opt out of morning routines altogether and shows you a flexible, realistic alternative.Rather than rigid schedules or 5am starts, Maya explains how to design mornings around a few high-impact cornerstones that support your energy, focus, and wellbeing, even if you have young children, variable mornings, or low tolerance for rigidity.This episode reframes morning routines as something that should pull you out of bed, not feel like another performance metric.What You’ll LearnWhy most people give up on morning routinesThe difference between rigid routines and flexible cornerstonesHow mornings support clarity, focus, and reduced overworkWhy cognitively demanding work is best done earlyHow to create a “pull factor” that makes mornings enjoyableTo find out more about Maya you can connect with her at www.mayagudka.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayagudka/And subscribe to her YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MayaGudka?sub_confirmation=1 | — | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | ![]() The One Process That Will Change Your Year — Start in February | By February, the shine of New Year goals has usually worn off.Some things are working. Some things aren’t. And this is the moment where many high achievers either compound progress, or slowly disengage, telling themselves “it’s not working” or “I’m not working.”In this episode Maya Gudka explains why February is one of the most powerful months of the year for progress, and why this is the perfect time to shift your focus from outcomes to small, repeatable processes.You’ll learn the difference between outcome goals and process goals, why “trust the process” isn’t always helpful advice, and how to choose one simple process to commit to for the next 28 days, without burnout, pressure, or overhauling your life.What You’ll LearnWhy February is a critical inflection point for goalsThe difference between outcome goals and process goalsWhy high achievers often over-control outcomesWhy “trust the process” only works if it’s the right processTo find out more about Maya you can connect with her at www.mayagudka.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayagudka/And subscribe to her YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MayaGudka?sub_confirmation=1 | — | ||||||
