This morning this very phrase was top of mind and frequently used when brainstorming with a client. “If not now, when?” It can be a powerful motivator for decision-making and taking action. In the face of business difficulties and issues that are impacting the tourism industry, it can be tempting to wait and see how […]
Speed of Recovery
There are many reasons teams are slow at recovering from challenges, and yet SPEED of RECOVERY is one of the most important factors for high-performance teams. At no point, can we ever say it’ll be smooth sailing and clear skies. Every business has its challenges, as every team does, and so it’s not about wishing […]
Retaining, Training or Harnessing Talent
There are a lot of conversations about mass resignations happening in the US. Will Australia face it too? Has it started already? The tourism industry is also currently struggling to find people and fill roles. Some businesses are slicing and dicing to be leaner and meaner than ever before, regardless of longevity, loyalty and commitment […]
Focus is a Super Power
Do you have this superpower at your fingertips? Ever have days when you wish you could shut the door, turn off all the surrounding noise, people, and commitments, and REALLY focus? I can. It’s one of my superpowers. One I use a LOT. Here’s why. I get stuff done when I’m super focused. It’s faster […]
Team Culture under Pressure
Rain, rain, go away and come again another day! Depending on where you are in the world, you may or may not have experienced, yet again another ‘rain’ event. It’s testing our metal here in Sydney, as everything is very wet and very soggy. This morning despite the torrential downpour, girls and parents hit the […]

I love using the 3 P’s technique. Product, Process and People Often many businesses get caught up or bogged down […]
Two Great Fundamentals in Business
There are two absolutely fundamental requirements that I LOVE and ADORE in business. Both the Customer Journey and the Employee Experience. Both go hand in hand for ensuring engagement, retention, productivity and satisfaction. They’re also terrific for at the very least identifying the gaps and opportunities, which may still be a work-in-progress (possibly constantly) or […]
Nature or Nurture
There is nothing like school holidays and the juggle of working life and motherhood to test one’s mental. It’s when I’m both at my best and my worst. All of my best traits can shine through and all of my worst too. And by worst I mean ugly. When I’m stressed, I get mean, snappy, […]

Getting ready this week for a Customer Service training for a team in-house. Thought you might like a few ideas for getting ready to present whether it’s a 1-1 meeting, team meeting, workshop, board meeting etc. Do you ever find yourself stressed out and anxious about having to present? Or perhaps a little under the […]
Reflecting on the Quarter
It’s hard to believe that we’re about to finish Quarter 1 for 2022. How fast has that flown! Well it was fast here. Between juggling school holidays, weeks of rain and then Covid, feels like we’ve barely got the year started, then an office neighbour and I were laughing this morning about Ground Hog Day […]
