I often struggle with the concept of people not coping with change. Change happens all day, every day around us, yet it is one of the most terrifying and mis-understood behaviours people seem to cope with. I have never liked change just dumped on me and when every time an unexpected change of event happened, I had to go through a process of thinking about the outcome and then plan for the control to be taken back (not the pref...

'A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way' ~ John C. Maxwell

I was recently asked, 'What qualities do you have as a leader' and 'what personal qualities do you have that contribute to being a leader'. Sounds like the same question right? But both have very different responses. These questions resonated with me and kept me up thinking all night, how do I define such a response? There is much more depth than noting...

Where am I going? What am I doing? Yes that is the multi million dollar question. I have lost my mojo going to work and every morning I struggle to get out of bed, because work is now a chore. The passion and natural energy I once had for my career has dimmed and I feel lost, procrastinate, tired, insecure and depressed. Where is this coming from? Why am I experiencing this?

WOW! thats pretty deep, but unfortunately a common e...

Google describes time management as - the process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities - especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.

I hear this all the time, ‘I don’t have enough time in the day’. For every time someone said this to me, and I took $1, then I would be an instant millionaire. I’m not sure about you, but I am fed up with hearing th...

One year ago, I felt I had no passion or energy left for this work and had no idea what I could do or wanted to do. Now, as I sit here and write this, I have so many opportunities ahead of me. Jess was my mentor and guardian angel. She introduced me to so many amazing and inspirational people working over here and the connections led to further opportunities.

I constantly am asked ‘How do you do it all?’. It is the most annoying and frustrating question anyone can ask me, because I don’t know how to answer this. But what I can say is I learn how to prioritise, delegate and sacrifice. I don’t have a magic power or solution, but I am well trained in my own abilities and have set tools I use each day, to focus and apply consistent routine behaviour to my somewhat nomadic and hectic li...

I have always struggled with the feeling of never doing enough and always striving to get to the next position in my career journey. I don’t know where this motivation comes from; more than likely fear, or perhaps I was born like this? What I do know is I am always striving to be better than before. I have high expectations of myself and I will never change who I am for others, unless I personally want to make that change.

Sometimes I work so hard, I just don't know what I am doing and often I will loose sight of where I am going.... The people around me become white noise and nothing makes sense anymore. The voices in my head are pulling at me, and I begin to tire. Who am I? Where am I going? How can I make a difference and be that leader for tomorrow? This photo is the exact symbol of how I used to feel each week and as the days became longer,...
