Hello fellow Enablers,
On Monday we published Episode 250 of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR. (Soundbite and links below).
When we launched the podcast in March 2021, the aim was simple:
to host conversations with senior leaders and rising stars in the automotive and mobility world.
We would celebrate their careers, listen to their stories and learn from their experiences.
I love a meaningful one-to-one, and so this endeavour was not entirely selfless. That intrinsic motivation helped us hit a milestone that few podcasts manage.
For me — and the person listening — I was convinced my guests’ life and career stories would contain valuable, transferable insights, and this proved to be true.
The authenticity and openness of my guests has been remarkable. One by one they allowed us to listen as they reflected on their formative years, the individuals who inspired them, the circumstances they’d found themselves in, and choices they had made.
In our second year we added “Side Mirror” episodes with guest experts or to share some of my own story developing the concept of Fulfilling Performance.
In Episode 250, I share:
why CAREER-VIEW MIRROR exists
what I’ve learned by listening deeply to leaders across the world
gratitude to the people behind the scenes (including my family)
and what comes next for both the podcast and Fulfilling Performance
👉 We’re returning CVM to its roots: long-form interviews only, published less frequently.
👉 And our Side Mirror content — including Fulfilling Performance insights — is moving here to Release the handbrake!, where we’re planning something new for 2026.
If you’ve ever listened, shared, or reached out — thank you.

Fulfilling Performance is an organisation-wide approach to performance. It brings with it a compelling vision and a framework of diagnostic questions and guiding principles that make it practical and easy to apply. In just a couple of hours, a team can learn enough to get started on their Fulfilling Performance journey. If you’d like to know more, send me a message and we can have an informal chat.

How well-aligned is your team?
Even the best leaders notice times when things don’t feel quite in sync:
People pulling in different directions.
Departments working in silos.
Commitments made but not kept.
Too much firefighting in the day-to-day, and not enough focus on the strategic priorities that really matter.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. These are common frustrations for senior leaders — and they’re exactly the challenges we tackle in the Aquilae Academy.
The Academy is a guided peer-mentoring and coaching team for senior leaders. It’s where you learn to apply the Fulfilling Performance framework, get the support of experienced peers, and work through real challenges every month.
In the Academy you’ll find:
A safe, confidential team of like-minded peers.
Fresh perspective, encouragement, and constructive challenge.
Practical ways to bring more alignment, cohesion, and follow-through into your organisation.
If you’re a senior leader who knows you don’t have to face these challenges alone, the Academy could be for you. Contact me and I’ll happily tell you more.
Thank you,
Andy
