Driving Real Gender Equality and Inclusiveness in the Workforce
Women make up 45.9% of the Australian workforce according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency but do they have the same representation across all levels of management? The answer to that is quite obviously no, and for some companies this just isn’t good enough. Gender equality is more than a tokenistic attitude towards the role of women […]
Framing Your Journey
The journey of change and growth…I have started walking as spring weather is just divine. I am dying to go cycling, and have pumped up my tyres, but that’s another story of change…and yes fear. When I go walking, I like taking the same paths around my new city of Brisbane. They are familiar to […]
Forging an Irresistible Organisation
Do your team members enjoy coming to work? If they don’t, you’re missing out on an opportunity to increase team member engagement and reduce turnover; two key leadership concerns that can directly affect the quality of service you deliver to your customers and vendors.

Exploring Role, Authority and Power
Having spent the last week on my development and growth, it struck me why I have been attracted to 2 very different but interrelated workshops on either side of Australia. As a facilitator, teacher and coach to many leaders, it is vital and necessary to also step back and take time to do my own […]

The greatest insight for these […]

The concept isn’t without merit, as the act of identifying goals provides a warm and satisfied feeling that a plan is in place and action is at hand. However, consider how many people fail […]
Employee Engagement Through Leadership
Nurturing Performance with Open Communications Any leader knows that in order to gain optimum performance from employees, they need to feel listened to. Simply providing instructions and expecting quality work is the wrong way to motivate, as job mentality becomes one of being told to do something instead of having confidence in ability. More often […]
Does Your Executive Assistant Need Leadership Skills?
A fantastic executive or personal assistant to a CEO, or high-achieving entrepreneur, is a gatekeeper as much as an assistant – someone who needs high-level skills in identifying priorities and resource allocation. It’s not an exaggeration to say that an executive is only as good as the assistant who supports them. Does this kind of […]
Do you REALLY listen to your team?
“The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people.”— Woodrow Wilson We all have the ability to listen but not everyone uses that skill. We’re often too busy working out our reply before the speaker has even finished with his words. Neuroscience shows us that while hearing is relatively simple, listening […]
