THAT is ALL!

What is the one thing you want to stop doing right now?

Not tomorrow.
Not when things settle.
Not when permission arrives.

The habit you defend.
The thought you normalize.
The action you repeat while knowing better.

Clarity. Truth. Courage. Resilience. (CTCR)
- Understand where you stand, right now.
- Acknowledge your truth, to yourself.
- Courageously march with your truth and clarity.
- Remain Resilient in the face of adversity, distraction or fear.

If my question makes you uncomfortable, it is neither a coincidence, nor a negative. It is my friend, self-awareness knocking the door of your conscience and inner-strength.

And that is where freedom begins.

The more you understand who you really are outside of the social construct, the stronger your resolve to break free from the its prison, gets.

We've been conditioned to get comfortable, fit ourselves in, and even love this cage of social construct - and when we do, to take pride in being a 'good boy/girl/person'. It is drilled into us so much so that we fear to even wonder what freedom from this cage would look like.

Here's the minimum damage Social Construct does to our being:
• It rewards conformity and punishes individuality
• It replaces self-awareness with social approval
• It teaches performance over authenticity
• It breeds fear of judgment and failure
• It disconnects you from your innate potential

and the moment you begin to break free, you experience an entirely different journey:
• You question what you’ve been told to value
• You start observing your behavior without bias
• Something within begins to allow discomfort to guide deeper self-inquiry
• You begin to reclaim personal agency over your choices and voice
• You redefine what success means and aim for it on your own terms

In the beginning it may feel daunting because we venture into the unknown, unfamiliar, and most experiences forbidden by the social construct - so it is nerve-wracking without a doubt.

However, the moment you start walking on a path imagined, designed and created by your inner-guidance and on your own terms something heavy lifts off from your shoulders. You breathe your unique you, without apology.

You free yourself from the cages and barbwires you've been kept under.
And, freedom, people is not rebellion. It is reclaim.
Defined, designed and built on your intentionality.

Do you ever pause and ask 'why' am doing what I do as an entrepreneur, professional or leader?

I believe, when we first begin shaping a brand or service, we are each guided by something powerful: an intention that sets everything in motion.

For some, it is the spark of passion, that unshakable pull to create or change something that cannot be ignored.

For others, it is the pursuit of profit, turning skill, experience, and ambition into something sustainable and freeing.

And for many, it is a sense of purpose, a calling to bring meaning, impact, or transformation into the world.

In the beginning, most of us move fast, thrilled, excited, driven.
We follow what feels right or what feels safe.

And somewhere along the way, we pause and ask ourselves:
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞?

- Was it to be seen?
- To serve?
- To build freedom?
- To prove something?
- Or to create a legacy?

I know I have paused, and explored this question several times in my journey.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. Each origin story holds its own truth.

Every intention, whether rooted in passion, profit, or purpose, is valid and worth celebrating. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻, to believe in something that does not yet exist, and 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁.

One thing I can say with utmost confidence, clarity on our why is what transforms a brand from a business into a movement, one that feels 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱.

Let me assure you, no matter what first inspired your path, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 that keeps your work 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲.

It is your 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

I am not sure what happened but overnight I got booked until April 2026. Not complaining!

Do you ever find yourself in a never-ending cycle of planning, refining, and waiting to share your message, just so you can “𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭” it a little more?

Days, weeks, even months pass…
𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬.
Unseen by the very people who were meant to hear it by now.

𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞:
We spend all our energy getting everything right before we begin.
We plan, refine, polish, prepare…
and then go back to 'make it even better.'

Until one day,
𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬,
and 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.

Because 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦 robs us of 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

For intention to become action, we don’t need perfection;
We need clarity.

𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:
✒️ What problem we want to solve?
✒️ Who we want to help?
✒️ How we can begin?

And then, the courage 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧,
and 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
Perfection gives the illusion of safety;
intention invites real progress.

𝐒𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫, let’s choose clarity over control.
Let’s trust our work, our growth, and ourselves,
With grace, confidence, and presence.

If you are an introvert like me, one who spent years in subtle denial of that truth or colluding with the extravert bias and complying with its loud, restless standards, this post is for YOU.

For much of my life, I believed I was living on my own terms. And in many ways, I was: forthright, capable, visible when needed. I was even called “The almostNakedCEO” for being transparent about our processes, policies and setbacks.

Yet beneath that poise lived a quiet betrayal. I had learned to perform extraversion so fluently I almost believed it was authentic. What others applauded as confidence often left me drained, hollow and estranged from myself.

I marketed it as being “an extraverted introvert.” No such bl***y thing. But I convinced myself it was.

Then I met Joanna Rawbone, The Original Flourishing Introvert, and something shifted. Yesterday I attended her Flourishing Introvert Playbook Masterclass and knew I had to share this quietly and authentically, here.

Jo does not teach you to imitate noise.
She invites you to inhabit stillness.
To recognise that presence, not performance, is the true measure of influence.

In her world, introversion is not a deficit but a deep well of wisdom, perception and grace.

For the first time, I stopped apologising for my quietude. I let reflection become strength, composure become magnetism and authenticity my loudest voice.

If you have long felt you must trade peace for recognition or truth for belonging, attend her next masterclass tonight at 7 PM London.

It is time for the quietly powerful to rise.
Not by being louder.
But by being truer.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸.

Transitioning from 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 to 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 is not a retreat from active responsibilities.

It is a well-thought and intentional evolution, a conscious choice to create greater space for others to rise and lead with confidence.

At Intntnlty, our people are not employees.
They are our Success Partners, and
that is neither a corporate slogan nor a decorative phrase.
It is a principle we live by, woven into the very fabric of
how we think, act, and lead.

It signifies shared responsibility, shared ambition,
and 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗵.

My purpose in this new chapter is both clear and profound.
To empower our Success Partners to lead with confidence,
to innovate with courage, and to grow without limitation.
In doing so, they serve our clients with excellence
and themselves with dignity and aspiration.

Everything we create, for our clients and for one another,
draws its strength from the four pillars that define
our service values and our culture:
𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲. 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀. 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. (𝗘𝗗𝗚𝗘)

These are not ornamental words printed on a wall.
They are living standards that govern how we collaborate,
how we deliver, and how we evolve together, day after day.

At the heart of our ethos stands a singular conviction.
𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝗶𝗴. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻. 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

To every Success Partner, client, and collaborator who has shared this journey with me, your brilliance, resilience, and integrity have
shaped the very essence of Intntnlty.

You have transformed ideas into achievements and values
into tangible impact. One that I am very proud of.
You have built not merely an organisation but a movement
defined by purpose and precision.

As I step into this next chapter,
I carry deep gratitude and unwavering commitment
to the people who continue to walk beside me
and to the limitless horizon that still awaits our collective reach.

Titles evolve. The mission continues. With Intentionality!

P.S.: And yes, in Photo are my real and ultimate bosses and loves of life.

I picked up the phone and said, "No, I cannot go."

And suddenly tears started rolling in, but I did not stop, "I am interested but I've accepted your request because I did not want to disappoint you. Thing is, I disappointed myself in the process because I accepted more than I can handle, and ever since I have been stressed."

Then, I declare unapologetically, "I will not be joining you. My pre-structured day is only day and time that works for me, and operating within my structure is how I look after my mental fitness and emotional wellbeing."

Finally reclaiming the boundary, "AND, I do not need you to understand my priority - I require you to respect it."

This is me. Intentionally. - Szebastian - Because. I. Am.

On 28 July, I 𝗱𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Not just muted it.
Not just shoved it in a drawer.
Dumped it.

Reverted to '𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆' Nokia. You read that right!

And then I took it one step further…
Stopped checking notifications on desktop across every platform.
Turned them off where I could, ignored them where I couldn't.
Emails, socials, pings, dings, buzzes - all blocked or ignored.
𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 myself from Notifications-driven social construct.

Since then, I’ve skipped close to 3,700 - 3,800 notifications.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁?
I didn't end up in rehab.
No one was harmed.
No lives were lost in the process.

Not a single notification was worth being on a 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵.

The shift?
A direct boost in Peace. Clarity. Creativity!

𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.. Check my email when I want to, and from names I want to hear from.
𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁. Message those who matter, when it is valuable for me and them.
On my terms. With 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

No leash jerking my attention every five minutes.
No dopamine scraps.
No doom scrolls.
No FOMO pinches.
No exacerbation of the challenges that come with the gift of multiple spectrums I am on.

I look up only what I need, when I need it.
Detached. Intentional. Free.
Pure 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 access.

Normalization of notifications has infested our lives like mozzies at a summer barbie. Always buzzing, always biting, always sucking on the stream of our focus. 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 for me is the bug spray that does wonders.

And before you come up with, and 𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀, and endless …

What if I miss something important?
I need it for work. It’s how everyone communicates these days.
I don’t want people to think I’m ignoring them.

I have seen several others who live and excel without these excuses. Living without the digital leash isn’t hard. Quite the opposite instead, It’s bloody simple. And of so 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹. And 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. And bringing back the power of focus on 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 to our core being.

It is intentionally choosing focus over frenzy, intent over impulse.
It is my rebellion with clarity and freedom that I truly value, and I’m not going back.

I’m done with compliance. I’ll take the life of a pirate instead.
Create. Engage. Lead - with intentionality, with clarity, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀.

You hear from me not because I got pinged, because my pingers are off, but because I 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 to direct my attention to you, intentionally, deliberately, completely.

Clarity of Detachment, Intentionally and Freedom is louder than any ping will ever be.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, - Szebastian - 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲. 𝗜. 𝗔𝗺.
