One of the joys of speaking is knowing that your message has landed well, that you communicated what you wanted to, and that your message was heard. Knowing you’ve made a difference is a great reward. Regardless of your words, you generally want them to have the intended impact. And they do. Words are powerful. May our intended…
Dear Friend, You made it! You’re here at the end of another year, triumphant in someways, possibly a little battered and bruised by some recent events. You’ve done some big things this year, hard things and brave things. You’ve made some good decisions that you didn’t have time to reflect on at the time, or…
2014 has been a journey of ups and downs. We love the ups, and they’re what we celebrate, but what if you don’t finish the year as well as you wanted to and your heart is not in the party? I have a process that helps me celebrate authentically, and I hope that my sharing…

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…
May I present my Christmas Gifts to you – with an important message to help you finish the year well and start the new one powerfully. There’s audio, video and text to help you celebrate, so take your pick or enjoy it all! Bring pen and paper to make the most of it… It’s REALLY…
Common theme this week – “A positive outlook is essential for survival” – a comment by Bede Tongs in a letter he sent me. He led his men on the Kokoda trail and in other areas during WW2 and as I’ve already written, it was an immense privilege to get to know Bede and his…
