So humor aside, this is actually a great stakeholder management insight, and something I was just discussing with a smart junior researcher today - it's really tempting to want to show all your work up front, but please resist the urge. You have two goals in a debrief:
1) Get the key findings across to the stakeholders who have already bought into your findings and just want action items to rally around.
2) Convince skeptical stakeholders that they should believe that you are correct, and they should take your conclusions seriously.
I often recommend calibrating your presentation to be one level of abstraction ABOVE the level you're prepared to drill down to in a meeting - most of your stakeholders don't need the detail, they just want the action items. And as for the skeptics? One of the most powerful things that happens in a presentation is when someone asks "well, how do you know that? What if it's X instead?" and then you jump down to the appendix where you've got the graph that shows exactly the answer to that, ostentatiously skipping past all the OTHER slides that you didn't show. It's a great (but not condescending or cruel) flex, and it makes everyone feel better about working with you.
Meanwhile.... 'experts' from Pensions La La Land heckle me before I reveal the math behind their flawed 20th Century Pension Schemes that fail to meet 9 in 10 workers needs.
#Pensionwashing has misled the public into believing 'Low Cost' EBI, MPT and 60:40 Passive Funds offer the best 'Value for Money' (VfM) for 45m DC Workplace Pension pot owners hard earned savings.
But this approach will not deliver the best outcome for most workers.
4x TO 10x HIGHER COSTS
I shared generic data from 3 Cohorts of savers with the Financial Conduct Authority in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Independent Chartered Financial Advisors provided Default Fund performance for their most used Default Funds and reviewed my Analysis.
On average their customers had lost the equivalent of 1.5x their current salary.
The data indicates 2.8m SME business owners and 10m Workers have suffered serious financial harm worth £1 trillion.
To put things right it will cost 4x to 10x higher contribution costs every payday.
I understand my numbers inside out, left to right, upside down and shake em all about.
In a nutshell, ILLIQUIDITY was not the worst case scenario for 9 in 10 savers, it was Pension La La Land blocking Step Change Innovation.
For the last 15yrs #Pensionwashing has been used to cover up ineffective, inefficient and irrelevant liquid only Default Funds.
RESTITUTION DAY (#RDay)
I launched R-Day 🎃 in 2021 to help Firms identify their #BlindSpotRisk and #DoTheRightThing for 13m Taxpayers.
38 Regulated Pension Providers covering 95% of Pension Members ignored my warnings to address their failures.
If you have joined a Workplace or Private Pension, R-DAY is now focusing on helping 13m Taxpayers discover how much they have lost.
So after 3yrs of Firms failing to engage, it's TIME to reveal the true cost of 'low cost' 20th Century Pension strategies.
It's #BUOMTIME and trust me, every second of delay counts.
The math doesn't lie.
Just Saying 🤷♂️

Navigating Through Adversity: Rebuilding Self-Worth After a Toxic Relationship
🤌💯💯💯✨️💛✨️💜✨️💛✨️
(Context ARTICLE SNIP)
In life, we all face challenges that test our resilience and self-worth. For me, one such challenge was navigating through the aftermath of a toxic relationship, where betrayal and deception left me questioning my value. In this article, I'll share my journey of self-discovery and healing, drawing insights from personal experiences and lessons learned.
1. Acknowledging Feelings and Embracing Vulnerability:
- My journey began with acknowledging my emotions and allowing myself to be vulnerable. By accepting feelings of hurt, betrayal, and inadequacy, I took the first step towards healing.
2. Seeking Support and Community:
- Surrounding myself with a supportive network of friends, family, and professionals was crucial during this difficult time. Sharing my experiences with trusted individuals who offered empathy, validation, and guidance provided much-needed solace.
3. Establishing Healthy Boundaries:
- Toxic relationships often blur the lines of acceptable behavior, leading to a loss of self-respect and autonomy. I learned the importance of setting and enforcing healthy boundaries to protect my emotional well-being and prevent future toxicity.
4. Cultivating Self-Confidence and Personal Growth:
- Engaging in activities that nurtured my self-esteem and sense of accomplishment became paramount. Through pursuing hobbies, setting personal goals, and investing in self-care, I rediscovered my worth and rebuilt my confidence from within.
5. Practicing Forgiveness and Letting Go:
- Holding onto resentment and anger towards my ex-partner only prolonged my suffering. By practicing forgiveness, I freed myself from the emotional burden of past grievances and embraced the possibility of new beginnings.
6. Embracing the Journey of Self-Discovery:
- Every setback presented an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Viewing my experience as a catalyst for personal transformation allowed me to gain deeper insights into my values, desires, and boundaries.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, navigating through the aftermath of a toxic relationship requires courage, resilience, and self-compassion. By sharing my journey of healing and self-discovery, I hope to inspire others to rebuild their self-worth, foster healthy relationships, and embrace the beauty of personal growth. Remember, your worth is not defined by the actions of others, but by the love and respect you have for yourself.
Do you want out of this level of mind? A pill for an ill leading to a pill for a pill? Before long, one is on a cocktail of drugs - all because they’ve ignored, entirely, the underlying cause.
Every drug without exception causes side effects and the regulatory agencies are riddled with corruption.
Most of the time this is chronic inflammation 🔥, under which there are root causes.
My motto: #saynotodrugs (unless it’s an emergency, or short-term use whilst investigating and addressing the cause).
Always adhere to Mother Nature, if drifted, come back to Her.
This drug and surgery industry needs to be known for what it is. A drug and surgery industry.
Do you call this “medicine?” I sure don’t…

This video is from 50 years ago. It seems that as a whole the world and specifically the Arab and Muslim part of the world might be suffering from some form of collective dementia. As such I looked up some info from an Alzehimer related source and came up with this video. I believe it may hold a potential key to solving the Arab Israeli conflict (in part).
“Often if someone is repeating the same question, they need an emotional rather than factual response. This may be because the person feels confused or anxious. They need comfort, security or to feel included or reassured rather than the repeated answer to their question”.
Israel has continually demonstrated to the world that it wants peace, that it would settle for less land, that it would give land and that it captured during various wars back, that it would remove people and settlements, etc… And yet the Arabs said no. Arab refugees from what is now the state of Israel, or the West Bank, or the Gaza Strip have said no.
Maybe this isn’t an issue that can be solved rationally. Maybe it can’t be solved at all. But at least from a healing perspective it might be worth looking at it from an emotional view. People on both sides have VERY strong feelings about this issue, this land and their desired outcomes.
There are always going to be radicals on both sides that will try to force their views on others (on both sides) but then again there are the rest of the people (on both sides) that are hurt, are tired, and really would just like to live securely in a place the can call home.
I hope we find a way to get there. All those people suffering deserve better. And so do we.
