“I feel like walking away from my marriage” someone shared with me last week. Other comments people share like “I feel like leaving my job” or “ Maybe I should just let go of my crazy dreams” make me curious. Curious and committed. I’m curious about what’s possible, and committed to encourage people to “hang…
Australian stories are always interesting, entertaining or inspiring, and with ANZAC Day in Sydney last week followed by the Australian Women’s Weekly visiting Dubbo yesterday, there’s no shortage. This picture was one of the most significant I’ve seen lately – a small image on my phone – perfect timing as we made our way into…
Coming up to ANZAC Day I’ve been thinking a lot about the ANZAC spirit and attitudes of Courage, Mateship, Endurance and Sacrifice. Spending a week in Kokoda last year with WW2 veterans gave me incredible insights into life under fire and the absolute essentials for survival that could only be self-managed – the soldiers own…
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.

Clarity is GOLD. It’s what we all need, want and accidentally lose all too often. I did this quick video to cheer you on after a few conversations with clients, as they raved about their new-found clarity. I was reminded of my moment with new glasses recently.

Be Confident, Be Unique! Hello! I was inspired to cheer you on when I saw this fabulous tree near the river. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw_xegAsbXI[/youtube] As I promised in the video, here’s the creative, unique individual I mentioned – Stig Wemyss. I chatted with Stig about this idea of being unique – and how being unique is a…
