Appreciation in the Workplace
As I sit here in Melbourne, Australia we have had more than 200 days of lockdown in the last 18 months, with more to come. Every day we talk to managers, leaders and our coachees about what is going on for them in work, business and life, and we know that many are struggling under…
How to get SH!T done
No matter what is going on in the world or in our lives, we have to continue to get sh!t done. Each one of us has our own way of getting things accomplished – little tricks or processes to help us get through the never-ending minutiae required to do our jobs and lead our lives….
Have we gone too far with all this women’s stuff?
I recently had the privilege of chatting with Dr Eliane Karsaklian.

Planning for the year ahead
As we move out of 2020 and into 2021 (thank goodness), many of us will be taking the time to think about what’s next. This year didn’t go to plan for most of us but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the time to write the plan for 2021. Many of us have a bit…
What I am looking for in my ideal …
2020 has been, and will no doubt continue to be, a tough year. 2021 will be a year of continuing change for all of us in some way. We will be forced to reconsider the way we work, the way we socialise and what is important to us in our lives and in our careers….
