Position doesn’t create impact, presence does. Every organisation has leaders who hold authority but command little genuine influence. They have the title, the office, the org chart placement. What they lack is the thing that actually matters: the ability to move people toward meaningful change. The difference between role and impact isn’t about charisma or…
Confidence isn’t ego, it’s grounded clarity. In uncertain times, even accomplished leaders find themselves second-guessing decisions that once felt straightforward. They delay action, waiting for data that never quite arrives. They carry the weight alone, hesitant to show vulnerability. This isn’t weakness. It’s what happens when the ground shifts beneath leaders who built their careers…
Most executives are not short on effort, they are short on clarity. In leadership, “busy” often looks impressive from the outside. Calendars packed, meetings stacked, emails flowing. But internally, many leaders feel reactive, stretched, and disconnected from what actually moves the business forward. Being busy is different from being effective. Effectiveness is about choice. It…
How has 2025 been for you? For me, honestly a whirl wind of ups and downs with no grounding! If any year could be defined as a the yin and yang, the black and white, the two sides of a coin, this year is shaping up to be that year – a rollercoaster. I know…
What is a transition and why are we talking about this today!!! Because…… transitions are a constant in life.

Where has the time gone? It has been awhile since I have been writing and I have missed it. It’s funny how time gets away from you when there are so many things going on. Life can happen that way. In a nutshell, I have finished some fabulous big contracts, had knee surgery, dealing with…
There is so much transpiring in the world right now, it is difficult to navigate all of it and why it is happening at once, but it is. The floods in Australia, the war in Ukraine, unrest between other big economic countries, stock markets remaining turbulent, petrol prices increasing almost daily, price of food…
Its funny, not funny ‘haha’ but ironically funny, Murphy’s law, those weird bizarre phenomena that we really know nothing about. But what we do know is, those days when it feels like nothing can go right…. It can roll something like this: Wake up, all is ok, but someone, anyone could be and…
Hmm for those in Australia and elsewhere, there have been many ups and downs with the lockdowns and extended lockdowns, delayed school starts, possible online learning. While I mostly post on coaching and coaching in OT (Occupational Therapy), I am going to bring up a slightly different topic not directly related to coaching but to…
Does it feel like 2021 has just passed us by in a blurr? That we are not that much further ahead than 2 years ago? And here we are at 2022, just like that. Not without highs, and lows, lockdowns, endless news on COVID, corruption and international tensions but mostly change, lots of changes in…
