Six weeks until I do the Dawn Walk for Samaritans. 5K at sunrise, this October.

I’ve already passed my £200 target, which is brilliant, but the reason I’m doing this doesn’t stop at a number. £10 answers a call for help. £25 trains and supports a volunteer for a year. Every extra pound between now and October means Samaritans can be there for one more person.

This October marks 21 years since I lost my cousin. Cousin doesn’t really sum him up; he was more like a brother to me. I still miss him every day.
That’s why I walk. Every October, at sunrise, for Samaritans. If it means they get to talk to just one more person who’s where he was, maybe it does his life some justice.
If you can support this year’s walk, it means more than you know. https://dawnwalk.samaritans.org/fundraising/carls-dawn-walk-fundraiser?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=dssb-CL&utm_content=MPC&utm_ref=UBS&fbclid=IwY2xjawTeph5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFZSDVhSDhRRWZ3T1JwODRDc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHksH3XmmwdafMBf-PNMzsu6eM1NxJUz8YWqn7mX9vaNp4dI1xZF73D9RY4NH_aem_2qc-hYp1pCFl9MmIXjgtCw

There are board advisors who tell you what you want to hear. And some earn the right to tell you what you need to hear.

David Agar, CEO & Co-Founder of Digital Ability Ltd, has kindly shared his experience of working with me as a trusted advisor and director at BankAbility UK CIC, and it's a reflection I'm genuinely proud of.

The line that resonates most:

"He also has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions — challenging thinking in a constructive way that invariably leads to stronger outcomes."

That's the job, in one sentence. Not to have all the answers — but to make sure the right questions get asked before a board commits to a direction. Whether that's governance, funding, strategic partnerships, or organisational development, the value of an independent voice isn't volume. It's timing and clarity.

NXDNW exists for exactly that reason, to give growing businesses and ambitious organisations access to genuinely independent board-level thinking, without the cost or complexity of a full-time executive appointment.

Thank you, David. It's been a privilege working alongside you and the team at BankAbility.

If your organisation would benefit from a candid, commercially grounded independent voice around the board table, I'd welcome a conversation.

What got you to £1m won't get you to £5m.

The skills that built your business — being across everything, saying yes, grinding it out — are often the exact things that cap it.

The first £1m rewards effort. The next phase rewards leverage: systems, people, and the discipline to step back.

Most directors I work with don't have a strategy problem. They have a letting-go problem.

So here's the honest question:

What's the one thing you're still doing yourself that's quietly holding the whole business back?

No judgement — I'll go first in the comments. 👇
