In short, no – and yet, yes.
There truly is nothing glamorous about living out of a suitcase for a month. I’m always staring at beautiful pools that I don’t get in (unless they are warm, so largely indoors) or researching terrific walks that I don’t find time for (unless it’s early or late, so largely dark).
I’m clearly doing this travel thing wrong – please send me your best ‘wondrous business travel’ tips!
Having said all that, I thrive on making a contribution – it matters more to me than just about anything else. So I do love delivering valuable insights through diving into our proprietary data for specific audiences right across Australia.
In the last few weeks alone I’ve delivered an Inhouse Corporate deep dive to a group of executives in Darwin, an Industry deep dive to business owners in the Gold Coast, Gender insights in Adelaide and an Executive forum in Melbourne.
And it seems to be striking a chord:
“Having moved across mid-management in a number of industries, I did a lot of nodding!”

What I’ve been learning through these conversations is vast – as the data is merely the tip of the iceberg isn’t it? Here’s some of my takeaways:
- Finally, why brilliant women keep getting stuck in middle management.
- Why leadership programs aren’t producing future executives.
- The bigger problem than burnout.
- Nearly half of Australia’s middle managers are in the AI danger zone.
- Australia’s middle managers are regressing into operational work.
- Executives are getting too tired – there is a crisis coming at the top.
What’s next?
September is a month of downtime and delivery before I jet off again, this time for Industry sessions with For Purpose (Melbourne Oct) and Contact Centres (Brisbane Nov), and AI-Transformation (multiple locations).
Here’s how to join the conversation
- Attend: If these events are relevant for you, please let me know and I’ll introduce you to the organisers.
- Organise: If you’d like me to present our research to your Inhouse team, or tailored to a specific Segment or Problem statement, then let me know.
