Repetition is a very powerful tool. I’ve done kung fu for many years. You can do very well a movement, understand the technique, but only the repetition of that technique more than 1000 times makes you interiorize the technique and convert it into a reflex. It’s that simple. Repetition. If you are to use that technique in real life and a punch comes in, you don’t have the time to think about the technique. If you do, the punch got you first. This is something that you can apply to anything you do. And it works for the best and the worst. You repeat badly… you’ll interiorize that reflex. That’s bad. ​ And this is something that works mentally. The rehearsal of meetings and situations in your brain is more important than you think. Do it over and over and your answers will become reflexes… Instead, many people tell themselves after an important meeting: “sh*t, I should have said that”. ​ You know what I’m talking, right? ​ But there is more than that. ​ It’s about you treat yourself. ​ Remember, the most important resource in your project or business is yourself. ​ You need to take care of yourself, forgive your mistakes, and avoid being too hard on yourself. Occasionally, allow yourself to take a break—a free day to disconnect from responsibilities and recharge. Reflect on why you're putting in this effort, doubling your time and energy, and realign with your goals. ​ Being hard on yourself is non-sense… and if you do it every time after a mistake, it will become a reflex… To avoid it, your brain you stay quiet… instead of taking calculated risks. ​ I can give you a hand with reflexes.

The Channel Tunnel. 50-km underwater megastructure linking France and the UK. An engineering icon. A masterpiece. A miracle of geology, finance, diplomacy, and caffeine or theine. A day like today in 1998. New Year’s Day. Half the team hungover. Half asleep. Half the world still partying. The temperature suddenly dropped. Outside: freezing. Inside the service tunnels: warm and humid. A perfect recipe for the gods of engineering to say: “Let’s mess with them.” Condensation froze. Ice formed on...
If you thought that I’ll be telling you happy new year stuff, you don’t know me enough. Once that you over drink and over eat tonight, you have one year ahead. To grow. To become better. To achieve great things. Up to you, what you want to do tomorrow. When there are some people messing around with “resaca” or a “hangover”, others will be running.

Brisbane, Australia. 2011. A hot, humid year, and an even hotter PPP disaster: the Clem7 Tunnel. Traffic numbers tanked. Revenue collapsed. The SPV went into voluntary administration. And the government, tired, embarrassed, politically cornered… decided to move fast. Maybe too fast. “Take control. Sort the mess. Do it now.” And they did. At light speed. They pushed what, in PPP terms, is basically the nuclear button: step-in, buy-out, asset recovery… messily… everything at once. OMG. The...
