    95: ThinkWORKS 95 Lead From The Back and Never Fear Empowerment!
    Jan 19 2026

    Most leadership failure doesn’t come from incompetence — it comes from fear.
    Fear of losing control. Fear of empowering others. Fear dressed up as authority.

    In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore why the best leaders lead from the back, why macho management quietly destroys organisations, and how a single question — “How can I help?” — can transform teams, cultures, and results.

    We look at why “busy” isn’t productive, how empowerment actually increases accountability, and why trust is the missing ingredient in modern leadership.

    If you manage people, work in a team, or want to build something that lasts — this episode is for you. Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/1381b500-0151-4ce9-950d-86ccfa4ed5bf

    94: ThinkWORKS 94 How To Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick.
    Jan 12 2026

    Most New Year resolutions don’t fail because people lack motivation — they fail because intent never becomes structure.

    In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore how to make resolutions that actually stick by starting with vision, defining where you want to be by year’s end, and then working backwards into realistic steps and milestones. We look at why planning isn’t about rigidity or control, but about clarity, momentum, and choice — and why writing things down still matters more than most people realise.

    If you want this year to feel different because you thought differently, this episode is for you.

    93: ThinkWORKS 93 Have a Plan!
    Jan 5 2026
    Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they never turn intent into a plan. In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I unpack Chapter 4 of You 2.0: Build Yourself Better — Have a Plan — and explore why plans aren’t about rigidity or control, but about creating momentum, choice, and resilience in a messy world. We look at why vague goals keep us stuck, how simple planning sharpens thinking without killing creativity, and why a good plan should guide you rather than trap you. If you’ve ever felt busy but not progressing, inspired but unfocused, or capable but stalled, this episode is for you.

    Suspend Your Disbelief – Why Belief Comes Before Change

    Ever notice how fear quietly talks us out of trying, long before we fail?
    In this episode, I explore why self-belief isn’t fluff — it’s the foundation of every meaningful change.
    We look at how the brain avoids pain, clings to old stories, and convinces us we’re “not that good anyway.”
    You’ll learn how to suspend disbelief, borrow confidence from your own past wins, and act as if — just long enough to get moving.
    Because before you can change your world, you have to start by believing you can.

    91: ThinkWORKS 91 Adventures in Comics 3: Comic Quest- The Untold Adventures of UK Collectors in the 70s
    Dec 22 2025
    Before comic shops. Before collectors. Before anyone thought this stuff mattered.
    In this episode of ThinkWORKS we go to issue 3 of our Adventures in Comics mini-series, and head back to 1970s Britain — to newsagents, spinner racks, and the thrill of the hunt.
    From The Mighty World of Marvel to DC’s The Shadow, we explore how UK kids discovered comics by chance, not design.
    It’s a story of pocket money, persistence, and the moment comics stopped being disposable… and started becoming part of who we are.

    90: ThinkWORKS 90 Hitting the Target But Missing the Point- Unveiling the True Impact of Digital vs Traditional Systems
    Dec 15 2025
    Sometimes, you just can't beat going back to basics. Starting with a blank piece of paper and a nice lovely pen to organise your world, you can quickly see patterns and ideas and declutter your mind in a way that a 100% digital approach just cannot match. And this simple fact is also the reason why 70% (yes, SEVENTY) of digital projects fail.

    Come and join me as I explain what sparked off this episode in the first place, what some of the wider ramifications of bad planning are, and how to avoid the same mistakes.

    And check out the Forum post at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/20535766-fcab-404b-a8cb-54bf3e9a461f for links to my favourite hard bound journal and my new life planner, and share your own anecdotes and thoughts.

    In the final part of our look at how to get the most from the new generation of A.I. apps, we look at some tips, hacks and strategies (along with prompts) to use in three areas of your business and personal life. I also then go step by step, again including the prompts, of how I used A.I. to compact 6 months of book planning, formulation, breakdowns, design and everything else connected with starting a book, into half a day!

    All the prompts in this episode, along with a 90 Day Sprint Plan example discussed in the episode, will be added to the Comments on the post at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/ebe2a3f0-909b-4ee8-85da-f2ca76ae3d9d
