It started with a crisp packet outside my office.
No one picked it up — and that moment changed everything.
I realised culture isn’t built by posters or policies; it’s built by what we tolerate, ignore, or act on when nobody’s watching.
The Crisp Packet Test was born from that moment — a quick, honest way to see how people really think and behave at work. It’s now become my signature tool for leadership, accountability, and rebuilding culture — stripped back and real.

Some connections you can see, meetings, messages, handshakes.
Others are invisible. They’re the quiet thoughts, the small choices, the energy that ties one moment to the next.
I wrote this to remind myself and anyone reading, that what we do when nobody’s watching often carries the biggest impact. Those invisible strings hold everything together.

I used to think leadership meant holding it all together. Saying yes when I wanted to say no. Smiling when I was breaking inside.
The truth? I wasn’t leading …. I was performing. Driven by the fear of letting people down.
This is what happens when fear runs the show… and how stepping into honesty changed everything for me, my team, and the way I now lead.

It wasn’t a strategy document that changed how I saw leadership. It was a crisp packet left outside the office — and what it revealed about culture.
