What Do They Know That You Don’t?
When I was first awarded my Private Pilot’s Licence, I remember one of my instructors commenting “Right, so you know just enough to kill yourself with now.” It was a not-so-tongue-in-cheek reminder that, as proud as I felt of my achievement, what I’d also done was open up the door to the next chapter. A…
Read MoreNovember Strategy – Breathe & Connect
November, the last month of the year, is upon us. Yes, I know that November’s not really the last month of the year….but my goodness, sometimes it feels like it!! It’s certainly the last month of full production and any kind of linear structure recognisable as a full month and, regardless of your industry, December…
Read MoreHandling Change, Assuaging Self-Doubt
Over the past few years, we’ve weathered several cycles that have caused us to reconsider whether we’re happy, whether life is working for us and what we’d like it to look like. The mental shift of reconsidering causes stress and discomfort when we first realise that we’re not comfortable with the status quo, even before…
Read MoreAssuaging the Global Pandemic of Self-Doubt
Many of us are experiencing for the first time in our lifetimes the effects of prolonged uncertainty, change, and “operating conditions” that are continuously out of our control and difficult, if not impossible to plan for.

If there was only one thing that influenced every decision you made and action you took, that…
Read MoreHow Are You?
It’s a question we ask each other in greeting, and one that we regularly throw out various programmed responses to. “Fine, thanks, and how are you?”, we bat in return; “I’m great, thank you, and you?”, we bubble. But the question is more than a greeting – it’s checking in. The essence of it is…
Read MoreAiring Your Humanness Pays
Creating conversations for connection and growth is what I do. In retrospect, it’s what I’ve always done and what I’ve always sought out… It’s what I value. I’ve never been fabulous at small talk; I want to get down to the nitty gritty and the stuff that matters. I want to know how you’re really doing. It’s a…
Read MoreCommunication for Connection & Growth
The world is full of “rub” at the moment. Whether that’s between governments and their people, between police and the community, between team members who work together, or between family members weathering this year in close proximity – the rub is evident. This year has served as a catalyst for many as our tolerance levels…
