For years, I had one idea sitting quietly in the background. Create a Board of Advice for women in business and leadership. It lived on my vision board. It followed me through seasons of work, change, and growth. And every time I looked at it, I told myself the same thing. I need to get […]
Sunday night I watched the Australian of the Year awards like I always do. It’s become a tradition for me over the years, and it’s one I shared with my parents too. I love learning about the people being recognised, the stories behind them, and that feeling you get when you’re reminded of what human […]
There’s a certain buzz in the air about 2026. Not the naïve kind. not the everything’s going to be easy now kind. But a quieter sense that something is shifting. That doesn’t mean the chaos is going anywhere. Global uncertainty, rapid technological change, organisational reshuffles, and personal demands will still be there, here and abroad. They always […]
Happy New Year to you! I hope you are having a fantastic start to the year. There’s something about the first week of January that feels different. The world finally exhales. Time stretches just enough for you to notice yourself again. And in that rare quiet, we’re told to rush. Plan. Set goals. Make the next […]
This year didn’t demand to do more (even though it felt like it!). It asked me to choose differently. Less noise. More discernment. Fewer reactions. Stronger decisions. Not the kind that show up neatly on a highlight reel, but the kind that quietly change how you lead, live, and show up. This wasn’t a year […]
It’s certainly ‘that time of year again’! Last week, I caught myself whispering something I haven’t said in a long time. “I just need to get to Sunday afternoon.” You know that feeling. When the week is so full that you’re counting down the hours instead of actually living them. It wasn’t work that tipped […]
The conversation about AI is getting louder, but something else is becoming clearer too. Women are not stepping into it at the same pace as men. In one Australian study, 61% of men said they already use generative AI at work, compared with just 40% of women. That gap isn’t just about access. It’s about […]
I had a client call me recently, absolutely gutted. Top performer. Exceeds every target. Delivers above expectations without ever dropping the ball. And yet… she’d just been told she wouldn’t be considered for a promotion. Not because of output. Not because of capability. But because, in her leader’s words, “her attitude was off” and “she seemed flat.” […]
I’ve lost count of the number of CEOs and senior leaders who’ve recently told me the same story in different words. There was someone on their team whose behaviour had slipped. They were dismissive in meetings, not behaving in line with the company values, arriving late and simply not delivering. These leaders noticed it early. […]
