Do You Spark Joy?

It’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Are you someone who multiplies joy when you’re with others, or do you sometimes find yourself draining their energy? Maybe you only bring out the best in certain people – are they the ones who matter most? Or perhaps you’ve realised that some relationships could use a boost. This […]

Are you an Energiser or Drainer?

With 69 days left in the year (yes, I had AI count for me), are you feeling drained or fatigued? If so, you’re not alone – many people I speak with share similar sentiments as the year starts to wind down. But, with over two months remaining, there’s still time to make a significant impact, […]

The Ripple Effect

Like many of you, I watched the AFL Grand Final on the last Saturday of September with anticipation. Two teams – the Brisbane Lions and Sydney Swans – were at their peak, turning up to play their biggest game of the year. But as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that one team was […]

The Great Resentment

Can you imagine dying at your desk and no one noticing for four days? Sadly, that’s what happened to Denise Prudhomme, who worked at Wells Fargo in America. Most of you have probably heard this story by now. And it raises a deep and uncomfortable question: Are we working for people who wouldn’t notice – […]

Answering the Call

Over the weekend, I felt like I was imploding. It was the worst I’ve felt in a long time. My chest felt tight, I was restless, and I couldn’t control my thoughts. This is rare for me, as someone who spends a lot of time working on their wellbeing. What caused it? A mix of […]

Optimism in Action

“The one with the right mindset will win”. I heard this a lot from commentators during the Olympics. In watching some incredible performances, we were reminded once again that success isn’t just about physical talent, strength or skill, – it’s about mindset too. Time and time again, we saw the impact of mental agility and optimism on […]

Silver, Bronze and Beyond

And just like that, the Olympics are over – but with the Paralympics just two weeks away, the inspiration continues! In my last post, I shared some insights on my favourite Olympic moments so far, and how business principles can support athletes – maybe they listened, given the impressive medal haul! There’s always a lot of focus […]

What Can Business Teach Olympians?

The Olympics are here, bringing a wave of excitement and inspiration! Like many others, I love watching the events – sports I wouldn’t normally tune into suddenly captivate me. Equestrian cross country anyone? Yet, what I’ve enjoyed most so far are the interviews with the athletes following their events. When they attribute their success (whether […]

If You Treasure It, Measure It

My STRONG survey has been live for 2 weeks now, and I’m excited by the number of people who have already given it a go! Why? Because I love data. When new research comes in, I can’t wait to dive in and identify insights and trends. But more than that, I created this tool to […]

How STRONG are you?

Happy New Financial Year to those who celebrate! And even if you don’t, and you’re halfway through your own year, now is the time for some reflection if you haven’t already… An opportunity to look back at what you’ve tried over the past 6 months, assess how it went, and use these learnings to adjust […]
