With over 30 years of experience across more industries and job roles than most people I know, I have managed to develop a strong understanding of not only what it takes to be a successful leader, but also what exceptional skills are consistently overlooked in up-and-coming leaders that are literall...
What would you say if I told you that it is possible to always have the right answers at your fingertips, to support your growth and that of others without planning a thing?
You’d likely say, I must be mad. Yet that is exactly what every person was born to be able to do.
I am talking about the i...
Here is an interesting life hack. What if we discovered that emotions and feelings were two completely different things, would you be surprised?
I know I was when I discovered the simplicity of it for myself.
So let’s examine this concept by breaking it down into bite-sized chunks, by looking at...
Courage! Many would likely say it is an uncomfortable and particularly tricky quality to embrace in life. Yet, truthfully speaking from experience, the hardest part is to come to terms with the reality that it is all about letting go from a place of love, instead of bracing for battle from a place o...
In the highly intellectualised world we now live in, this idea might seem a little odd to consider, but in reality, it’s simpler than you might think. Excuse the pun!
In my lifetime, spanning a little over 50 years I’ve seen a solid rate of increase on the belief that knowledge is power.
What if...
Why are we still structuring organisations like we are stuck in the Industrial Age when it is clear the revolution is here?
It might sound like a stupid question, but as hard as it may be to grasp, it is a reality we simply cannot escape. We are doing it en masse, and it needs to stop if your orga...
Sometimes we get so caught up in the big acts of bravery depicted in movies, that we forget about the nobility and humility of the small equally important acts of bravery that occur in everyday life.
Some days the ultimate act of bravery can be as simple as just getting out of bed to face the day...
Trusting in your heart to lead you forward is both absolute bravery and the ultimate act of freedom, all rolled into one. The only problem is most of us don't realise it.
Think about this. You literally have one hundred billion neurons in your brain that are working exclusively for you, every mome...
A healthy dose of positivity goes a long way, particularly in these disruptive times, like the ongoing trials of COVID-19. If you are feeling that the world seems to be filled with doom and gloom right now, then maybe you need to consider changing the lens you are looking through.
Whilst there is...
**We all know that a reward is a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement. Sounds good right? Not always, in fact, the focus on the reward can be incredibly harmful to you individually and downright destructive to humanity. This has culminated in creating a sense of never having...
The word manifestation has turned into a buzzword of the new era. Yet, it would appear that it is seemingly covered by a veil of some kind of magic. Why is this so? When there is clear science to help us to understand how and where we are in control of manifestation constantly. From our state of min...
In life, we so often seek tirelessly to be understood by those around us. Yet what if I told you that we may have gotten it backwards all along?
To seek understanding firstly of yourself brings greatness into your life. We too often forget this vital step in life. By seeking to understand ourselve...
Unconditional love can so often seem like an impossible feat in our modern society. We seek to be loved rather than to love. So why is it that we have unconsciously placed the condition of being loved, within the construct of the love itself that we give to others?
To understand this, think of how...
Discomfort! A word that makes many of us squirm just at the mere thought. What if I told you I've made discomfort my new best friend? Would you think I was mad?
Has opportunity knocked on your door, but you missed it because you were scared to see the truth, so you ran from discomfort?
The inter...
There are some words in the English language that cause an instant reaction within the body, and one of those is death. Today I want to open up Pandora’s box and talk openly about the important topic of death.
Growing up in a westernised country, where today cultural diversity is expansive is a de...
I woke to an unusually warm and sunny autumn day in Melbourne, Australia. I was enthusiastically building my new Yoga and Mindfulness business when in one fell swoop, it seemed like life had changed forever.
Welcome to COVID-19!
The most significant disruption I had seen in my lifetime was begi...
When you woke up this morning, did you jump out of bed eager and grateful to experience another day of life? Or did you wake up with a sense of dread when you realised that it was not the weekend yet?
This feeling, by the way, is more commonplace than you first might think. The vast majority of us...
The power of love is astonishingly interpreted on mass in our modern society as a polarity of many things. We can feel hypnotised by it, feel controlled by it like a toxic chemical infiltrating every part of our body.
Many are terrified to let go and fall deep into the pool of love, driven by the...
Do you procrastinate, or do you surrender to the present moment? This is a question that has come up for me many times in my life.
As I began to study yoga many years ago, I looked closely at the topic of surrender. I became somewhat intrigued to discover that in many instances in my life, I was s...
When a storm rolls into your life, it is easy to get caught up in the flurry of it all. Feeling like the strong pull of the storm happens with or without your desire to support it. If this is you, know that you are not alone, and it is more common than you might think.
Do you feel the pull of the ...
Life sometimes can feel like endless cycles of misery and suffering, filled with things that no longer bring us joy. Discovering the patterns through refined awareness has the potential to change your life completely.

In the dating world, the standard approach to a first date is the desire to make a solid first impression to win your date over. If you are single and dating, ask yourself, is this approach really working for you?
A long time ago at a friend's wedding, her father gave us some beautiful advice, whi...
Was anyone ever really born to be a writer? It is a question I have pondered more than once. Is writing simply the medium that is delivered to some of us so graciously, to express our deepest desires for authenticity?
Now that's a question with some depth don't you think?
I was an average chil...
The inward journey of yoga has brought me a great understanding of myself. Once I understood myself it became easy to accept and understand others because I came from a position of clarity and certainty. A starting point that I see so frequently missing in the world today.
To many of us, it can se...
