I have a confession to make, I love movies. I think it is something about being able to take time away from the fast pace and stress in the everyday world and just escape for an hour or two (and gotta love movie popcorn!) I recently attended the Sydney Film Festival and watched the premier […]
As we near the end of the Australian financial year I have been having many meetings with leaders to start planning for the next 6 months. A common theme that seems to be coming up is how do leaders balance the need to keep their people active and keep up with everything else on their […]
Too many things to do and not enough time. This is a common theme that I hear from many leaders from all areas. With things moving faster we are looking at how to prepare for their people in the future. Now more than ever, it is important for a Leader to be aware of their […]
