Something profound happened yesterday, and as is often the case with profound things, small moments of insight have been preparing me for this question I asked myself: What brings you alive? As I sat in the Mindful Leadership Forum hearing familiar themes of compassion, wellbeing, wisdom and authentic connection, Dr Rich Fernandez said this “Do…
I stacked my bike this morning. Would have been hilarious to see. Then the insights started coming. My first thought after “tree!” and my face full of branches (thank God for helmets and caps with a decent shade on the front) was that this was a great example of why it’s great to look where…
Do you realise what you accomplished in 2013? Do you know how amazing you are? Possibly not… It’s easy to see how others are fabulous, but you’re comparing your internal world with their external world. Comparing your backstage fussing with their calm ‘on-stage’ performance. Picture this. A few women in a beautiful apartment this week,…
A Stunning, Significant Shift – from Chaos to Clarity and Confidence. (client results in a nutshell) I have been reflecting on 2013 – it’s been an extraordinary year in so many ways. I was reminded of one insight that I shared in January about an assumption of mine that was challenged – that has resulted…
I’m excited about celebrating my birthday in November by making a difference in young lives… in helping to change a nation – our nearest neighbours. Since going to Kokoda last year (scroll through the Kokoda files) I’ve become aware of the plight of thousands upon thousands of children who live just a few hours north…

And resources I’ve mentioned – see links below… LIVING ON AUTOPILOT While we love the idea of autopilot when it comes to our offices and other systems, it’s generally not useful in…
A challenge lies before me. How to share last week’s excitement, adventure and privilege without it turning into a book?! I first met Captain Bede Tongs MM (Military Medal) and his son Garry in Kokoda last year, when I travelled with my Grandfather for the 70 year anniversary of the Kokoda campaign. We really connected so…
I know life is full of challenges. But it’s also full of joys. Uplifting moments, the bounce in the step, the feeling of gratitude, even if things aren’t going well. It’s not a circumstantial thing, it’s a focus thing. I’m sure I’ve asked this before – where is your focus right now? Joy is available…
Actually, I’ve had a couple of good wake up calls. The first was a realisation that an assumption about my business was incorrect, and I made the assumption because of how I was feeling at the time. Ooops. Anyone else done that? I love challenging (or having challenged) my assumptions – once I’ve become aware…
