The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life

Dr Gary Crotaz PhD

My name’s Dr Gary Crotaz, I’m an international speaker, an executive coach, and I coined the term The Unlock Moment. An Unlock Moment is that flash of remarkable clarity when you suddenly know the right path ahead. Unlock Moments define us. They teach us about ourselves. And we remember them decades later. In exploring Unlock Moments on this podcast and in my speaking and coaching work, I’ve discovered how we can see ourselves through a new lens, how we can make new and powerful connections, and how

You might have heard the 1% mantra. … Every day become 1% better. Just 1%. It seems so tiny. Multiply that up through the course of the year, 1%, 1%, day by day, and by the end of the year you’ll be almost 40 times the person you were at the start. It’s beautiful maths … but of course hopelessly unrealistic for virtually all of us. As Dr Ruth Gotian said on this podcast, if self-improvement were so easy then why are we still buying so many self-help books?Change takes time. But on the journey of

A bit of motivation as we go into the long weekend! It was Simon Sinek whose iconic TED talk in 2009 brought the idea of Start With Why to the world – one of my favourite business books. Tens of millions of people have viewed that video, where a speaker on a stage, armed only with a pen and a flipchart, changed the way people around the world view how great leaders inspire action.You don’t have to solve everything in order to move yourself forward a bit, you just have to put some things to one side

No matter how late at night I take them out for their last bathroom visit, they still wake me up between 5:45 and 6:15 in the morning for another trip. It’s left me feeling oddly disconnected when I start my work for the day, almost as though my brain is struggling to get into gear.I’ve had many times in my career where pressure of work has caused me to compromise on sleep.

If you’ve ever experienced the so-called fight or flight response, you’ll know about the rush of adrenaline you get when something triggers your sense of fear. Your heart beats faster. Your blood pressure goes up. Your breathing gets more rapid. Why? Because the adrenalin that your body produces interacts with receptors on cells around the body. Like a key in a lock, the adrenalin binds and triggers a response in those cells which leads to all those fight or flight symptoms you experience.And

There’s a Taoist proverb in my book The IDEA Mindset. We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.For most of my career, my mindset was running water, the bubbling brook, the racing stream, sometimes the whitewater rapids. I considered it my superpower that I could go fast, manage complexity, be decisive. It was in the pandemic that circumstances forced me to slow down. And when I began my coaching training, I started to appreciate all that begins to

In my book The IDEA Mindset, I wrote “Freedom is the day you realise that it’s ok not to be good at everything. Choose the path that plays to your strengths.”It sounds so obvious, but often the simplest things are the ones you need to pay most attention to.I spent a lot of my life trying to overcome my weaknesses and fill my gaps. I noticed what I couldn’t do much more than I noticed what I did really well. It led me down a lot of divergent paths as I saw myself as some kind of human multitool that

This morning I was thinking about how running used to be so much easier than it is today. I wish I'd been more appreciative at the time.It makes me think about how regret holds us back in life. We regret decisions we made, or didn’t make. We regret opportunities not taken. We regret not trying harder when, with hindsight it feels like that was our big moment.But in reality, the only moment that matters is the moment right now.
