When many hands cause harm, every hand claims innocence. My thoughts on the tragic death of Jason Arday, and the accountability that disappears in a crowd. If you’d prefer to read my thoughts, you can find them here: lnkd.in/dd5iMsQE hashtag#JasonArday

As a proud patron of @humanists.uk, I think it's worth considering that sometimes this unforgiving world of ours gets better not through "thoughts and prayers" but by committing to the personal actions required when we embrace that # AllWeHaveIsEachother. Please watch the video.

It's as if the sun has gone down without notice, and now we reach for a substitute for its warmth and light that can never quite compare. Jason Collins, an NBA veteran, was a role model for civility and dignity on and off the court, far before his coming out made him a pioneer. Thank you, Jason.

Looking forward to this panel - a learning rather than educating session for me!

As has become tradition on that other social channel I fled for here, I say to you, my friends and colleagues: May the Fourth be with You! (We must continue to fight the dark side even when they have a cool theme tune.)

We’ve launched a brand new animation explaining what #secularism is and why it matters in an increasingly diverse society. Our short film, What is secularism?, is now available to watch on the @humanismedu.bsky.social website. 🧵 understandinghumanism.org.uk/secularism/

What is secularism?

Made for schools and families, the animation introduces secularism in clear terms as a practical way of organising society that people with different worldviews can share.

3/3 Leadership is about finding the right words, especially honest ones, even if they make you feel uncomfortable. If you'd like to find out more about the work APS can do on shaping culture, you can click the link in my bio.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 30/10/2025

2/3 Because people do more than listen to your words, they interpret them. And when your language is vague, your culture becomes the same. Precision builds trust. When you say exactly what you mean, good or bad, people can stop guessing and use that brain space to take up more valuable pursuits.

2140

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 30/10/2025

1/3 The language you use in your team every day inevitably becomes culture. If ‘interesting’ is your default feedback, don’t be surprised when your team defaults to passive effort.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 26/10/2025

2/3 If you don’t identify the cause beneath the symptom - the culture, behaviours or lack of clarity - your solutions will always be temporary. Leadership is about asking the hard questions, like why is this happening in the first place.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 26/10/2025

1/3 Too often I’m asked for solutions to poor communication or low performance, but what people are really looking for is a plaster. Something quick and tidy. But plasters don’t fix problems, they just hide them.

2/3 Yet, when it comes to giving honest feedback or challenging a harmful norm? Suddenly the discomfort feels intolerable. But that’s where growth happens. In the uncomfortable conversations and the moments you choose integrity over ease.

140

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 22/10/2025

1/3 We’re comfortable with discomfort, but only when we choose it. Leaders are often comfortable discussing and sharing the uncomfortable when it comes to the gym or personal goals.

1/2 Today, my episode of the @businessleader.bsky.social podcast with @joshdornbrack.bsky.social is out! It will surprise no one that our conversation was leadership-led, but we really dug into what it takes to build an organisation where people can thrive. Not just exist, but really excel.

5/5 The surest bet for any solution, remedy or balm for this world is YOU. To round off an extraordinary few weeks, I look forward to seeing some of you tonight for an evening of conversation about It’s Not Magic.

4/5 If there is a solution to what ails this world, to the challenges in our businesses, institutions and communities, it's not ‘the young people’ - some distant, future generation or yet-to-be-discovered iconic future leader or politician.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 10/10/2025

3/5 As we start to look ahead to winter, we can begin to think about how we end the year on a high and reflect on what we have learnt in the months prior and I’d encourage you all to mull on this thought, taken from the final pages of my book…

2/5 After time on the road, from the US book tour, to a return to Finland with clients, I took some time out to pause and reset before coming home to my favourite view of London from my roof terrace.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 10/10/2025

1/5 There’s something about the shift in season that forces reflection; the slowing pace, the shorter days, the pause between chapters.

2/3 The ideas exchanged, the moments of reflection, the courage to see things differently - that’s what makes it worthwhile. It feels especially meaningful to be recognised for sessions on leadership, culture and inclusion. They’re not always easy topics, but they’re always necessary.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 09/10/2025

1/3 I’m honoured to be recognised by the Motivational Speakers Agency as one of London’s top motivational speakers. Speaking has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my work, not just for what’s shared on stage, but for the conversations that happen in the room.

3/4 Two esteemed voices who have taken the time to give their thoughts on my book, now gracing the cover. Their endorsements mean a great deal to me, not only because of who they are, but because they’ve seen the value in these ideas.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 07/10/2025

2/4 Some of you might take my word on the book containing practical, transformative and useful advice. For those of you who might be sceptical, I’m sharing here the extremely kind words of Doc Rivers and James O'Brien.

John Amaechi @johnamaechi.apsintel.com · 07/10/2025

1/4 Seeing the endorsements come in for It’s Not Magic from some brilliant minds has been both surreal and affirming.

Resilience is not the absence of setbacks. It is “the idea that you recognize this setback is a part of your achievement pathway, and you're going to return and maybe even exceed your previous performance despite it”, says @johnamaechi.apsintel.com: buff.ly/bQCkCQc
