#0449 Diligence
Making a decision on samples of one will see you zigging and zagging at every turn. Allowing a single person or event to determine your fate is a practice observed all too often and I…
#0448 Micro Actions
“If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done” Are you one of those people? There is probably not a person on the planet who has not left a task until the very…
#0447 Baller Level 11
Not sure if it was confidence or ignorance. Driving down a narrow single lane road the traffic had slowed down to a crawl and I could see a few cars ahead a runner who looked…
#0446 The Game
Not sure I would play cards with you if that is how you play the game. Always looking for shortcuts, life hacks and cheat codes to win at life. And who exactly are you competing…
#0445 Competing Priorities
Calm on the outside maybe, but on the inside it drives me nuts. I have had to learn to be patient with others and temper my expectation of when something will get done. Years ago…
#0444 Time Flies
What exactly are you busy doing? Can you reflect back on the week and detail with any confidence what you achieved? Not just emails, meetings and presentations but proper detail. Unlikely in my experience. Pretty…
#0443 Kryptonite
We all have a version of it. A weekness that holds us back. The longer it persists the more it grinds on our soul. A mental game of cat and mouse. Working on improvement whilst…
#0441 Milestones
Kids will proudly announce that they are 5 and a 1/2. The half to someone five years of age is a big percentage in relation to their time on this earth. As we get older…
#0440 Own It
A small shift like this can make a huge difference. It is not unusual for me to meet with people who are frustrated at the status quo in their business. Worn down by the constant…
#0438 Holding Space
Your personal space is likely to be compromised standing in a very large crowd. Observing behaviour of those around you can provide insight into their traits without knowing much about them. Their self-awareness or lack…
#0437 And Again
Two steps forward… If you have been in business more than a minute you will have been frustrated by the inevitable and ever recurring two steps forward one step back dance routine. I have never…
#0434 Big Risks
Will our generation leave a legacy worth memorialising? On the weekend my daughter and I proudly attended the unveiling of a section of plaque at the Maritime Museum in Sydney. Honouring the migrants that came…
#0432 Layering Knowledge
Learning is cumulative. Year 12 math would be impossible without the preceding 11 years of layering knowledge. Post official schooling however many no longer seek guidance. Going it alone or convincing yourself you do not…
#0431 Do Not Stop There
You cannot just manifest and expect things to change. Alone it is hope, luck or coincidence. As per its definition, to manifest is to be clear in the mind. Start there by all means but…
#0429 Trim
For humans it happens in winter.Gardens in Spring.In business it sneaks up on us. Excess growth or process bloat. Without realising it sometimes we allow extras to occur and before you know it, it becomes…
#0427 Culture Tradition Legacy
Without realising why, I was drawn in. The brightness of the blue with the crisp white dots. Not just a painting but an ancient form of storytelling by our indigenous Australians. A way to share…
#0426 Unstoppable
Pondering the idea that perception and perspective is the ‘what’ to awareness and empathy being the ‘why’. Perception and perspective is a point of view. A belief formed by many factors amplified by biases and…
#0423 Deep Authenticity
Not just fake news but deep fakes where audio and video representations are near impossible to distinguish. How will the average Joe be able to form sensible opinions when the narrative is being controlled by…
#0418 Humanising You
During a recent podcast interview I was expanding on a two part response. Problem was, by the time I got through part one I had lost track of what part two was. The host and…
