What exactly does 45kms look like anyway?
When you have no concept of what a thing really is, it’s surprising how often we allow ourselves to fall into the planning fallacy – or in Australian the trap of ‘she’ll be right mate’. So as a mainly-sedentary office worker carrying an extra 20kgs and 5yrs over my team-mates I went ‘she’ll be right’ […]
Hang on – where the hell did March go?
I have so much to do and April – pah! it’s not even a whole month! You can easily fall into the ‘I have a month to do…..’ and then realise in April you actually only have 2 full working weeks to play with. Anxiety-making! So I was thinking about April (not enough time) and […]
Sometimes doing nothing is doing something
I was fortunate to go away for the 6 weeks of school holidays. It was a glorious mash-up of all our covid-cancelled holidays from 2022 and 2021; and judging by the amount of people en route at the same time, we were not alone in making up for lost travel opportunity. I was very determined […]
Decisions, Decisions
This week I feel I’ve almost exclusively been coaching on career opportunities – some due to job seeking, some due to restructures, some coming completely from left field.

There’s no denying it. People are quitting.
You don’t quit your job, you quit your boss – or so the saying goes. We’ve heard it so often; we just assume it must be true.
WHAT DOES EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT REALLY MEAN?
I often hear my C-Suite clients complain about a lack of accountability from their mid-level leaders. They are especially disappointed that they have communicated quite clearly that their B-Suite should feel more empowered. When I ask them how many layers they have removed from their approval process or how many governance forums they have replaced themselves […]
THIS WEEK I WENT TO NEW ZEALAND
It’s the 50th county I’ve spent time in and I was pondering on my way over how I was feeling about that. It’s been a few years since I travelled abroad thanks to covid so I was definitely feeling out of practice. So I could have chosen to feel anxious. But 50 countries is quite […]
Boundaries Prevent Burnout
We’ve got busier. Have you noticed? Is it financial year end? Is it return to office? What-ever is going on, it’s impacting people. So let’s talk about your boundaries – your thin red line. Are you struggling to set boundaries? Are you saying yes to things you should say no to? Putting in long hours […]
