      Comfort
      Jan 18 2026
      One small habit built, one major leap for leaders. In Episode 4 of this series of the PiXL Pearls, Rachel Johnson explores the lesser-known side of astronaut Chris Hadfield’s story. Not the rockets and headlines, but the rituals, humour and learning that kept him steady when the stakes were highest. Selected for Canada’s space programme without any certainty of ever flying, Hadfield ‘turned himself into’ an astronaut through manuals, drills and hundreds of checklists. He was stress‑tested for claustrophobia, rehearsed disaster scenarios and even prepared for the emotional anti‑climax that follows life in orbit. Yet his anchor was simple: find signs of home, sweat the small stuff and create small moments of joy. This episode shows how comfort is built, not found. It explores why leaders benefit from grounding themselves in what is familiar when everything feels uncertain, and why anticipating problems is not worrying but productive, because as Hadfield reminds us, ‘every single thing that you learn really just gives you more comfort’. Tune in to get calm not complacent – because pressure may be unavoidable, but the comfort you design through habits, perspective and preparation can be exceptional.

    • Taylor

      Taylor
      Jan 4 2026
      Taylor Swift is not just a global music icon; she is one of the most strategically astute leaders of our time. In this episode of PiXL Pearls, Rachel Johnson explores what truly sits beneath Swift’s extraordinary success. Beyond the record-breaking tours, the cultural moments and the internet-breaking releases lies a carefully crafted approach to ownership and energy. From identifying an uncontested “blue ocean” audience at just 13, to resisting premature reinvention, to navigating criticism, conflict and public scrutiny with what can only be described as productive paranoia – Swift has built a career defined by intention rather than accident. This episode examines how she has retained creative control, protected her core audience, responded to detractors and repeatedly evolved without losing her identity offering powerful lessons for leaders in any sector. You don’t have to be a fan to learn from Taylor Swift. You just have to be paying attention. If you enjoyed PiXL Pearls...

    • Unintended Opportunities

      Unintended Opportunities
      Dec 21 2025
      Unintended consequences are inevitable. Unintended opportunities are optional. In Episode 2 of this series of the PiXL Pearls, Rachel Johnson uncovers the lesser-known effects of Abraham Lincoln’s now-iconic beard and the extraordinary story of the man it nearly ruined. When Lincoln took the advice of an 11-year-old girl and changed his appearance, one small printing business collapsed almost overnight. What followed was not a tale destitution, but a radical reinvention and from the ashes of one business rose a legacy born of speed, creativity and resilience. This episode explores how unintended consequences can become unintended opportunities, why leadership demands movement (even when outcomes are uncertain) and how reframing setbacks can open doors we never intended to walk through. Tune in to get better, not bitter – because consequences may be unavoidable, but the possibilities of where you’ll end up if you adapt are exceptional. If you enjoyed PiXL Pearls...
