  • Conscious Endurance | Charl Kaschula

    Conscious Endurance | Charl Kaschula
    Mar 30 2026
    Conscious habit formation will empower your leadership and bring balance.

    In this episode, Laura-Jean Evens, a neuroscience coach and leadership development consultant, sits down with endurance coach and business leader Charl Kaschula to explore the powerful intersection between endurance sport, neuroscience, and conscious leadership.

    Charl shares compelling stories — from guiding a blind runner through the New York Marathon to navigating extreme endurance races — and unpacks how these experiences translate into high-performance thinking in business.

    10 Key takeaways:
    - Performance is Not Linear (Growth comes from reflecting on both success and failure)
    - Rest & Recovery is power for your performance (Strategic pauses unlock creativity, clarity, and innovation)
    - Identity drives performance (Sustainable performance is rooted in belief, not pressure)
    - Visualisation builds confidence (Mental rehearsal is a powerful tool)
    - Progression feels motivation (achieving one goal also leads to the next big win)
    - Breaking big goals into small wins (makes impossible targets achievable)
    - Turning walls into doors (Strategically pacing yourself through the pain reduces the panic)
    - Pressure is a privilege (it's an indication of capability and aligned expectations)
    - Leadership is shared awareness (shared commitment, trust and clear communication)
    - Exercise and conscious breaks enable leadership resets Connect with Charl Kaschula · Follow Laura-Jean on LinkedIn · Follow Take New Ground on Instagram · Follow Take New Ground on X · Follow Take New Ground on Facebook · Follow Take New Ground on Substack

  • Conscious Leadership | Alvin Lloyd-Peter

    Conscious Leadership | Alvin Lloyd-Peter
    Nov 10 2025
    Leap into your future.

    Laura-Jean Evens, founder of Take New Ground continues to explore conscious leadership and what it truly means to live and lead with intention.

    In this episode, she speaks to Alvin Lloyd-Peter, founder of The Wisdom of Nature. After 25 years in complex corporate environments, Alvin discovered that some of the most profound transformations don’t happen in strategy sessions or boardrooms — they happen when we slow down, step outside, and let nature do the teaching.

    In our conversation, we explore how immersive experiences in nature help leaders reconnect with clarity, purpose, and their authentic selves.

    One of my favourite moments from this episode was when Alvin said:
    “In nature, we remove the boundaries that limit us. Suddenly we have a menu of possibilities and what once felt impossible becomes probable."

    Alvin shares the lessons his own experience of the transformative power of nature and gives examples of how this has helped executes leap into their own future. Alvin would love to hear how you've unlocked leadership through nature · If you are considering a coached personal vision, please reach out to me · Follow Take New Ground on Instagram · Follow Take New Ground on X · Follow Take New Ground on Facebook · Follow Take New Ground on Substack

  • Taking Conscious Breaks | Petro du Pisani

    Taking Conscious Breaks | Petro du Pisani
    Aug 15 2025
    The significance of a strategic pause.

    In this episode, Laura-Jean Evens (an executive coach who enables leaders to recalibrate and re-author the next chapter) talks to Petro du Pisani - an award-winning podcaster (On-Change) and executive coach, focused on holistic life. She is writing a book on Conscious Breaks where she shares stories of transformation and reinvention.

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Petro du Pisani, a former high-flying mining executive who stepped off the corporate treadmill to design a life more aligned with her purpose and values.

    Petro shares how she spent 25 years climbing the corporate ladder, only to realise that true success wasn’t about titles or perks — it was about living intentionally. She courageously took a year-long sabbatical to rest, reconnect with nature, explore coaching, and challenge herself with the Three Passes Trek in Nepal.

    Together, we explore:
    • The mindset shift from “busyness as a badge of honour” to intentional living
    • How conscious breaks (whether a few minutes a day or a full sabbatical) can help you recharge and find clarity
    • Practical ways high achievers can slow down without sacrificing impact
    • How tiny, consistent habits can build towards transformational change

    If you've felt the pull to redefine success on your own terms, this conversation will inspire you to pause, realign, and create a more meaningful future.
