Most career advice tells you to bounce back fast.

This story says something far more important.

At the 2026 Golden Globes, EJAE (Kim Eun Jae) accepted the award for Best Original Song for “Golden” from Netflix  Kpop Demon Hunters.
She became the first Korean-American to win at the Golden Globes.

But that’s not the part that matters most.

What matters is what came before the win.

She spent 10 years chasing one dream.
To become a K-pop idol.

She was rejected.
Told her voice wasn’t good enough.
Watched the original plan fall apart.

So she did what many of us are doing right now.

She adapted.

She leaned into what still worked.
She stayed close to her craft.
She rebuilt her identity instead of abandoning it.

And years later, she stood on that stage not as what she once wanted to be
but as something truer to who she was becoming.

Here’s why this matters if you’re:
• scared of being laid off
• already laid off
• quietly questioning your career path
• thinking about a pivot but afraid to start over

A detour is not a downgrade.
A rejection is not a verdict.
And changing direction is not failure.

Careers are not ladders anymore.
They are stories.

And the people who win long-term are not the ones who never get disrupted.
They are the ones who don’t let disruption silence their voice.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, remember this:
Your next chapter does not need to look like your last one to be meaningful.

My dad hired a tennis coach at 70.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Seventy years old.
Retired.
Comfortable.

And yet, he decided to hire a tennis coach.

Not because he wants to compete.
Not because he wants to prove anything.
Just because he wants to get better.

That one decision stayed with me.

Most people slow down with age. They protect comfort.
They say things like, “What’s the point now?”

My dad doesn’t.

He shows up to the court.
Listens. Practises. Learns.

Like a beginner.

Watching him, I realised something important about growth.

Growth is not driven by fear of falling behind.
It is driven by love for learning.

No pressure. No urgency. Just curiosity.

As a son, it inspires me.

That is what I have always prioritised. Learning. Growing. 
Always asking what more and what’s next?

I thank my dad for it. 70 years. Racket in hand. On the court.

That’s discipline.
That’s presence.
That’s a quiet kind of courage.

And most of all, that’s love, for life, for movement, for becoming a little better than yesterday.

If I ever wonder what kind of man I want to be as I grow older, I don’t have to look far.

I just look at my dad.

If this lands, don’t rush past it. Sit with it.

Growth has no expiry date.

Talks about #personalgrowth, #bebettereveryday, #leadershiplessons, #utkarshbrainspark, and #leadershipcoaching

During one of the worst layoff periods at a global cryptocurrency company, I was coaching their senior leaders.

The market had turned. 
Pressure was relentless. 
Decisions were being made fast, often without the space to process the human cost.

The instinct was predictable.
“We need to rebuild fast.”
“Let’s hire stronger people.”
“Let’s bring in fresh energy.”

But that wasn’t the real problem.

The people being let go weren’t weak.
They weren’t uncommitted.
They weren’t unrealistic.

They were exhausted from uncertainty, confused by shifting priorities,
and slowly losing trust in how decisions were being made behind closed doors.

What finally changed things wasn’t a new hiring plan.

It was a harder, quieter set of conversations.

Leaders started asking different questions.
Not “How do we replace them?”
But “What made staying feel impossible?”

Layoffs don’t just reduce headcount.
They expose culture.

They amplify how safe it feels to speak up,
how clearly people understand the future,
and whether leaders default to control or clarity when things get uncomfortable.

If people keep leaving, hiring faster only treats the symptom.

The real work is understanding what your culture is teaching people about loyalty, growth, and honesty when the pressure is on.

Because the truth is simple and inconvenient: people don’t quit companies at scale, they quit environments where staying starts to feel like self-betrayal.

Before you open the next role, make sure the work environment you’re hiring into is one people would actually choose to stay in.

Did you know most people quit their goals by the second week of January?

Not because they’re incapable.
But because they’re relying on motivation instead of structure.

Motivation is unpredictable.
Systems are not.

The people who actually stick with their goals don’t “try harder.”
They design their environment to make follow-through easier.

That means:
• clear reminders
• real accountability
• visible tracking
• time protected on the calendar

If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure what to focus on next, clarity is the real starting point.

1 simple way to stay more consistent with your 2026 goals

Most people see pressure as a sign they are doing something wrong.

But the people who grow see it differently.

Pressure often shows up right before something meaningful changes.
Not as a threat. As a signal.

The same goes for mistakes.

Not proof of failure.
Proof of engagement.

You only get feedback when you are actually in the arena.

The real shift is this:
stop taking friction personally.

Treat it as information.
Something to study, not escape.

Curiosity does what confidence cannot.
It keeps you moving when certainty disappears.

Growth does not come from ease.
It comes from staying present through discomfort and choosing to refine instead of retreat.

If things feel heavy right now, that does not mean you are off track.

It might mean you are finally working on something that matters.

You can’t change what you can’t measure.

Every January, we promise ourselves:
 “More clarity.”
 “More courage.”
 “More impact.”
 “Better habits.”

But most resolutions fade because there’s no baseline.

You don’t know:
 – where you’re clear
 – where you’re stuck
 – where you’re avoiding
 – where you’re actually making impact

And without that… change becomes guesswork.

Over years of coaching, I’ve seen this pattern repeat:
People don’t lack motivation. They lack visibility.

That’s why we built the Ignite Life Scorecard — a free tool to help you measure where you stand across:
 👉 Clarity
 👉 Courage
 👉 Action
 👉 Impact

No labels. No judgment.

Just an honest snapshot of where you are right now.

If you want 2026 to be intentional — not accidental — start by measuring.
👉 Take the free scorecard here: https://lnkd.in/gEYUvyea

Because awareness isn’t the end of growth. It’s the beginning.

You Can’t Change What You Can’t Measure

A year ago, on January 1, 2025, the IgnitedNeurons podcast had 24 subscribers. 

Not 24 thousand.
Twenty-four.

There was no launch strategy.
No momentum.
No guarantee anyone would care.

Just a decision to show up… even when it felt pointless…
to have real conversations, hit publish, and do it again the next week.

Fast forward to January 1, 2026: 873 subscribers.

Still not viral.
Still not flashy.
But undeniably built.

Here’s what changed in that year:
not my talent,
not my confidence,
not my circumstances.

What changed was that I stopped waiting to feel ready
and started acting like the life I wanted was already under construction.

Most people don’t fail because they aim too low.
They fail because they keep rehearsing a better future
instead of tolerating the boredom and doubt of building one.

One year will pass anyway.
The question is whether you’ll be able to point to something real or just another version of the same wish.

What are you quietly committing to build this year, even if no one’s watching yet?

♻️ Repost if this feels like the right reminder for this stage of the year.
➕ Follow Utkarsh Narang for more clarity on growth and inner work.

I took a two-week break from work recently.

It was calm.
It was slow.
It was peaceful.

And yet, something felt uncomfortable.

Not because of money.
Not because of pressure.

I was okay on that front.

The discomfort came from somewhere else.

Freedom isn’t time off. It’s knowing what you return to.

Work gives me energy.
It gives me joy. It gives me a sense of who I am.

During the break, I realised how much I value that.

We are often told that if you truly love life, you should want to escape work.
That wanting to return means you are trapped or over-attached.

That isn’t true for me.

When I came back to work on January 5, it felt… right. Almost joyful. Not because I had to work. But because I wanted to.

That moment taught me something important.

Freedom is not about getting away from work. Freedom is about choosing work that gives you energy instead of taking it away.

If something lights you up, don’t push it aside. Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t let someone else’s definition of balance make you doubt yourself.

Hold on to it.

And if you haven’t found that yet, keep going.

Try new things.
Change direction.
Learn about yourself.

There is a place where effort feels meaningful.
Where work feels like contribution, not compromise.

When you find it, you won’t need convincing.

You’ll feel it.

♻️ Repost if this feels like the right reminder for this stage of the year.
➕ Follow Utkarsh Narang for more clarity on growth and inner work.

I have learned to enjoy my own company.

This didn’t come naturally to me.

There was a time when silence felt heavy.
When being alone felt like something was missing.

So I filled the gaps. Anything to avoid sitting with myself.

Over time, I realised something uncomfortable.

If I couldn’t be alone with my own thoughts, no amount of company would fix that.

So I started small.

Early mornings.
Quiet walks.
Journaling with no agenda.

At first, it was awkward.
My mind kept wandering.
I wanted to reach for my phone.

But slowly, solitude stopped feeling empty.

It started feeling honest.

In solitude, there is no performance. No role to play. No one to impress.

Just you, as you are.

That’s where I hear myself most clearly.
That’s where I notice what excites me and what drains me.
That’s where my values show up without being forced.

Solitude is not loneliness.

It is presence.

It is choosing to sit with your life instead of escaping it.

And the more comfortable I became with my own company, the richer my relationships became. With my work, family, and with myself.

Now, I protect my solitude.

Not because I want to disconnect from the world. 

But because it helps me show up fully when I do.

The most important relationship you’ll ever build
is the one you have with yourself.

A reminder for the first week of the new year.

Stress is rarely about pressure.
It is about postponement.

❗️The email you are avoiding.
❗️The decision you keep circling.
❗️The conversation you know you need to have.

Unfinished things quietly drain more energy than hard work ever will.

This year does not need a perfect plan.
It needs movement.

✅ One small action today can release weeks of mental weight.

If 2026 is about anything, let it be this:
Do the thing you keep delaying.

Momentum follows action.

Getting Joshua Freedman on the IgnitedNeurons  Podcast didn’t happen because of reach, status, or a perfectly crafted pitch.

It happened because of patience.

I reached out.
Then I waited.
Then I followed up, respectfully.
Across platforms - LinkedIn. Email.
Not chasing. Not spamming. Just staying present.

And I did it with love, one of my core values.

There were long gaps with no response.
Moments where it would have been easy to assume disinterest and move on quietly.
But something told me to stay consistent.

Eventually, he said yes.

What followed wasn’t just an episode.
It became one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had on emotional intelligence - 
deep, grounded, honest, and deeply human.

That moment reminded me of something I keep relearning:

The best things in life often come not from intensity,
but from sincerity sustained over time.

Perseverance doesn’t always look loud.
Sometimes it looks like showing up again, calmly, without entitlement.

Grateful for the conversation.
Grateful for the patience it took to get there.
And grateful for what happens when values lead the way.

Leadership isn’t about your resume.
It’s about your ripple effect.

Want to be remembered?
Leave people better than you found them.

✅Speak truth.
✅Stand for something.
✅Choose compassion over ego.
✅Listen more than you talk.

That’s the real scoreboard:

→ Not your position, but your presence
→ Not your awards, but your actions
→ Not your accolades, but your attitude

Robin Sharma said it best:

“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration.”

How you lead matters.
But how you make others feel, that’s what endures.

Be someone who lifts others.
It’s the kind of wealth that multiplies.

Six months from now, you’ll either have....

six months of real progress behind you
or six months of very reasonable excuses.

I’ve learned this over the years:

You don’t grow because you’re the smartest person in the room. 

You grow because you are deliberate, intentional, and willing to sit with discomfort longer than you’d like.

Most of the time, the thing holding you back isn’t lack of ability.

It’s avoidance —
> of the hard conversation,
> the awkward decision,
> the honest admission that something in life or work is no longer working.

It’s easier to stay busy than to be brave.

Easier to explain why now isn’t the right time than to admit you are scared of what happens if you actually try.

Six months will pass whether you confront this 
or keep negotiating with yourself.
 
The question isn’t whether time will move.
It’s whether you will.

When you look back, you don’t regret moving too slowly.

You regret the periods where you knew better and chose comfort anyway.
Six months from now, you want evidence... not intention.

If this hit, you already know what you’ve been avoiding.

Save this to re-ignite that spark and follow Utkarsh Narang for more!

I need to admit something. I am being vulnerable here.

Selling does not come naturally to me.

I love deep conversations. Meaning. Reflection. Human connection.

Sales calls used to feel like a performance. I’d walk in hoping they’d like me. Hoping they’d say yes. Hoping I wouldn’t mess it up.

And every time I needed the outcome… I stopped being myself.

Then I learned a concept from Daniel Priestley that changed everything:

“With or without you” energy.

It doesn’t mean I don’t care. It doesn’t mean I’ll succeed at your expense.

It means this: I want you with me. But my success is not dependent on your approval.

The moment I started walking into conversations with that energy:
– the pressure disappeared
– the conversation deepened
– I stopped performing and started practising my craft

I was no longer trying to convince. I was trying to understand.

People don’t respond to desperation.
They respond to calm conviction.

So here’s a question for you:

👉 Where in your life or work are you needing the outcome a little too much?

Try walking in with “with or without you” energy this week. Care deeply. Release the outcome.

That’s not arrogance. That’s leadership.

Open article: With or Without You Energy by Utkarsh Narang • 3 min read

One of the most important mindset shifts I have learned over the years is this:

The question you ask determines the direction you grow.

“Why is this happening to me?”
keeps you focused on the problem.

“What is this trying to teach me?”
moves you into agency.

The moment you switch questions, you switch power.

Nothing magically becomes easier.
But you stop feeling helpless inside the situation.

In leadership, in careers, in personal growth
this shift separates people who stay stuck
from people who evolve through difficulty.

❌Growth is not about avoiding hard seasons.
✅It is about extracting wisdom from them.

That is how experience turns into maturity.

We romanticize success.
But survival comes first.

Tesla didn’t grow in a straight line.
It stayed alive long enough to figure things out.

That’s the part most people skip.

Before scale comes stability.
Before dominance comes endurance.
Before momentum comes survival.

If you’re in a phase where the goal is simply to last,
you’re not failing.

You’re building the foundation that growth requires.

Survive first.
Refine next.
Scale later.

Comfort rarely looks dangerous.

It looks like stability.
Familiar routines.
Staying “reasonable.”

But comfort has a quiet cost.

❌It delays hard conversations.
❌It postpones decisions you already know you need to make.
❌It keeps you busy, but not moving.

Failure, at least, gives feedback.
Comfort gives none.

Most careers don’t stall because people fail too much.
They stall because people wait too long.

If something has been on your mind for months, maybe years, it’s probably not going away on its own.

Discomfort is often the price of growth.
Avoiding it is often the reason dreams fade.

➕ Follow Utkarsh Narang for grounded thinking on growth, career transitions, and building momentum without burning out.

Most people want business ideas.
They just don’t look in the right place.

They look outward.
Markets. Trends. Tools. Tactics.

But some of the most powerful ideas come from lived experience.

On the latest episode of the IgnitedNeurons Podcast, I sat down with Bart Merrell, an entrepreneur who believes that life’s challenges often carry the seeds of opportunity.

We spoke about:
• Why setbacks are not wasted
• How adversity can become an asset
• The “lemonade stand” mindset for entrepreneurship
• When monetization makes sense and when it doesn’t
• Why perspective matters more than strategy

This conversation is not about hustling harder.
It’s about seeing differently.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your experiences matter, this episode might shift how you think about work, business, and opportunity.

Jack Dyer🕺

Storytold is one year old today!



12 months ago, I registered
Storytold™ with Companies House.


I was so thrilled when I chose the name
because I started this with a simple goal:


To help leaders get their story told.


But as I’ve spent last year with
Managing Directors and company
Presidents from Los Angeles to Dubai,
I learned something far more important.


Getting your story told is only ONE
part of what leaders actually need.


They also need a system that leverages
their authority into opportunities.


That’s why this year I’m evolving Storytold
into the company it was always meant to be:


A strategic partnership.
Here’s what it looks like:


Posts:
❌ No more “what shall I post today”;
✅ We’re building a narrative about you.

Impressions:
❌ We’re not seeking more visibility;
✅ We’re attracting more opportunities.

DMs:
❌ We’re not adding more inbox noise;
✅ We’re nurturing the right relationships.

Reputation:
❌ We’re not just making you known;
✅ We’re leveraging your personality.

Authority:
❌ We’re not writing “content”;
✅ We’re demonstrating your authority.


We’ve been acting as Strategic Partners
for about 4 months now, and in 2026
this becomes our standard with the 
Storytold™ Authority System.


And to celebrate our birthday,
I’ve upgraded our website:
www.storytold.co.uk


Thank you to every partner who trusted
us in 2025 and are staying with us.
I've never been more excited to
get you more opportunities.


And to everyone new: If you’re ready
for your reputation to start working
as hard as you do, we should talk.

And we'll get your storytold. 





#LinkedIn  #workmilestone

CEO, Storytold | Top 1% LinkedIn Storyteller | We turn C-Suite Leaders into the most trusted voice in their market. Zero posting. Zero micromanagement. Real authority that drives deals.

Here's why I've been fairly quiet on LinkedIn for the last few days. 


Something big is coming. 


Really big.


And it's not bigfoot.


It's an evolution of what Storytold™
does, to the dedicated partnership 
we were always meant to be.


Year 1, we were finding our feet.
Trying things. Seeing what worked.


But in Year 2...


We're kicking our value into overdrive
with a systemised, analytics-informed
partnership that guarantees success.


I'll say that again: We GUARANTEE success.


How many people can say that?

Watch this space over the coming days.

Trust me on this one.

- Jack 🕺

Last year I learned that visibility isn’t about being louder, but about being clearer.



Many senior leaders
think LinkedIn isn’t working
because they don’t post enough.

They see others posting every day,
sharing wins and getting attention,
and they think volume = authority.


It doesn’t.


Leaders miss opportunities
because their public reputation
doesn’t reflect who they really are.


You know an English guy who goes to
France and talks in English, and when
the French don’t understand him he
just yells even louder in English?

Yeah, that doesn’t help him get understood.



It’s the same on LinkedIn.

You don’t win by being louder.

You gain opportunities when you’re CLEAR.



✔️ A clear authority beats clever posts.
✔️ Consistency beats “going viral”
✔️ A human story attracts more
opportunities than a perfect post.


When you get clear:

→  People recognise you faster
→  Trust builds up in the background
→  Conversations start warmer
→  Opportunities come earlier
→  Your authority works for you

Because your reputation finally
matches your level of leadership.



LinkedIn isn’t a platform.
It’s a public record of your reputation.

Every post either compounds
your authority or weakens it.

If you want your authority to work for
you without taking more of your time,
that’s the system we build and run.

Success in 2026 isn’t about visibility.
It’s about leverage, reputation, and legacy.

And once it’s built, it keeps working.
Request a Private Authority Call with me.

What if you could become the go-to authority in your space without being online every day?



Most Managing Directors are
frustrated. They know LinkedIn
is a "Public Reputation Ledger,"
but they're exhausted by having
to be on here 24/7 to stay relevant.


It’s true: visibility requires a huge
time investment. First to learn
HOW to grow on LinkedIn…


(like me, from 740 to 50,000 followers)


Then it takes time to leverage
your authority into opportunities.


But the time spent figuring all this
out doesn’t have to be YOURS.


If you're spending hours each week
trying to "figure out" what to post,
you aren't leading. You’re just busy.


You're treating your reputation like
a chore instead of the appreciating
business asset it actually is.


What if you stopped "posting" and started positioning?


Imagine a system where:

→  Your time is protected: 
You spend just one hour a week with a strategic partner.

→  Your expertise is extracted: 
Your unique worldview is turned into a high-impact narrative that AI could never replicate.

→  Your reputation compounds: 
Your presence builds trust and opens doors while you’re focused on running your organisation.
‌
 

The Storytold™ Authority System
I designed took me from 740 to
50,000 followers (and counting).
 
It took me from employee to CEO.
 
It’s designed to take the execution burden
off your shoulders entirely. We install the
infrastructure; you gain the leverage.

This is the missing piece on most LinkedIn profiles.



Not a rebrand.
Not more activity.
Not a new website.




PERSONAL AUTHORITY.




A Director said to me before Christmas:
“Jack, we’re visible everywhere…
but we’re still struggling.”
And he was right.


When we analysed his posts compared to
the authority we build with the Storytold™
system, his issue wasn’t a lack of visibility.

It was that his presence didn’t signal leadership.

His profile explained what his company
does but not who he is as a PERSON,
and not why he should be trusted.


So we didn’t add more noise.
We installed a clear system.

What changed:

→  His profile became a position of authority, not a CV

→  His message clearly stated who he’s for and why he matters

→  His presence became consistent, intentional, and recognisable


Nothing dramatic overly professional.
We made him human, not corporate,
with a solid personal brand identity.
The impact after a week was clear:


✔️  His reputation strengthened
✔️  Opportunities appeared without chasing
✔️  Conversations warmed before they started
✔️  Time spent “explaining” dropped to near zero
✔️  4 leads booked with context already established


His visibility alone wasn't enough to create leads.
But once he started using our proven system to 
leverage his authority, leads became inevitable.


When your authority is clear,
everything else accelerates.

If LinkedIn is unrewarding,
you don’t need to do more.

You need to be positioned properly.
That’s what we do at Storytold™.

We help serious leaders turn LinkedIn
into a long-term authority system that
compounds trust, protects time, grows
net worth, and increases opportunities.

Let’s leverage your authority,
properly, and let it compound.

If you want 2026 to be the year your
reputation finally works for you,

This Christmas I learned that I'm a very different person to my parents.



Most Christmas meals are interesting for one reason or another. Usually there’s some kind of family drama. But this wasn’t so much drama, as it was a quiet, sad realisation that I’m a totally different person to the man my parents think I am.


Growing up, I learned my value system by

→ believing just what they believe
→ judging based on their judgement
→ seeing the world through their eyes

And for the most part, this was fine.
They taught me many positive values
while providing a loving, stable home.


But over one conversation this Christmas, I realised that the way they see the world - and the way they taught me to see the world - held me back in life more than they’ll ever realise.


They taught me to believe things about
myself that are just not true. Things like:


Belief ONE:
I have to be conscientious and caring to others (above all else). I love this characteristic, that I care about others. But my mum told and taught me on a daily basis, with her words and actions, that “it’s better to be kind to others than to be successful”.


Translation:
(from her world view): Be kind to others, even if it means being unkind to yourself. So I spend years putting EVERYONE ahead of myself, and giving so much away that there was nothing left for me.


Belief TWO:
I have to like only what my parents like. I’ve been in so many conversations with them where I’ve shared my new (usually niche or high-concept interests), only for them to shut the conversation down, or move it on to another topic - one that THEY like. Every time I learned something unfamiliar to them, they didn’t really encourage it. They tolerated it, and preferred to only talk about things they already liked and understood.


Translation:
We’re only interested in you if you’re interestING to us. So to make my parents happy, I kept my interests limited to ones they could understand. I never even TRIED to learn or do new, exciting things, because it would cause a chasm between me and my parents (see belief one - putting other people first).


There are many other examples,
but this Christmas it all became
clear during one conversation.


And honestly, I don’t even know why
I’m sharing this with you right now.


Except that since I started Storytold™,
I’ve been putting my team first, PLUS
I’ve finally started listening to what I
want, too. Rewriting belief number 1.


And I have so many interests that
I haven’t dared to explore yet.


But one thing’s for damn sure.


2026 is the year to start.




What beliefs are you rewriting in 2026?

#GetYourStorytold

Most senior leaders don’t have a visibility problem. They have an authority gap.



You are respected in your organisation.
Your peers trust your judgment.
Your track record is proven.

But externally, on the
"Public Reputation Ledger" of
LinkedIn, your influence is fragmented.


When an investor or a potential partner
looks you up, do they see the executive
authority you’ve spent 20 years building?

Or do they see several "polished" posts
that say everything and mean nothing?

The distance between your internal
credibility and external perception
is where opportunities are lost to
leaders who are simply louder.


This isn't a marketing problem.


It's a system failure.


Most leaders think they need to be
"better at content." No. They don't.

They need an Authority System that
turns their ideas into public leverage.

Facts and statistics don't build authority.
Strategic narrative control does.

When we install the Storytold™
Authority System, we stop the
"leaks" in your reputation.


→  We extract your executive worldview
to define a clear, strategic narrative.

→  We architect a presence that builds
trust before you even enter the room.

→  We operate the system with total
autonomy, protecting your most
valuable asset: your time.


The goal isn't "more posts."
It’s to ensure that when your
name is mentioned, the decision
is already moving in your favor.


If you're a Managing Director or
President with a long-term mindset
and you’re ready for your authority
to start working harder than you do...
