What comes up for you?
What’s your leadership style like?
Do you trust?
Do you give people the space to thrive?
Chances are, if you micromanage other people to dominate, you strangle any possibility for yourself.
Release the reins.

Let’s celebrate the milestones. I want to acknowledge those of you that have been following me for quite some time, watching my pivot, my transformation, my growth, jumping hurdles in business, pacing myself, sprinting to the end, creating and imagining new and exciting projects, listening to my rants, perhaps finding bits of wisdom on my Instagram feed, and being a curious observer.

My humble 300 might seem like a blip in followers to some of you, but it’s hard won by, built over time. No wild social strategies to get here, but lots of bot blocking and Rando accounts to keep my viewers sovereign.

I hope you have found quality content, ideas and inspiration that you can apply to your work, life, and business.

Thank you to my clients & for those of you that listen to my podcast Nerds of Joy, and for those of you that like, comment, share and bookmark my Instagrammable things.

It’s a tool of business and connection.

I’m not hesitant to be seen anymore. I know the strategies to leverage but you know me by now.... always rewriting the playbook and doing things my own way.

Thanks for your eyeballs and attention! 🙌🤩⭐️

The neighbour is chopping down a tree and I’m si

The neighbour is chopping down a tree and I’m sitting here with my cup of tea, trying to be all zen, plotting to plant more in my backyard.

One wisdom I was taught in Dharamshala India by Tibetan Buddhist Scholars.

“If there is a solution to a problem, why worry. If there is no solution to a problem, why worry.”

I don’t have to worry but I can apply action.

Random but important processing going on in my noggin today.

What drives you?

Do you integrate it into your work and lifestyle?

Four drivers for me.

⭐️ build community
⭐️ tread gently on the planet
⭐️shop local & small
⭐️ keep tweaking my sustainability

And my bonus driver:

⭐️ be 100% myself.

It’s really freeing when you no longer worry about what the peanut gallery is doing around you, or their judgement.

When you acknowledge your drivers, you operate from a place of satisfaction and ease. The disruption dissolves & you’ll find that you start to take action on the life items that move you forward or closer to your goals. If you are still figuring that out, go back to:

“If there is a solution to a problem, why worry. If there is no solution to a problem, why worry.”

Can you write down a couple of people that have st

Can you write down a couple of people that have stopped your scroll today. Who are the people that inspire you? Are they the people that give you tips and tricks? Are they the people that have a story that is similar to your own? Are they people that have completely changed their lives and the way they do things in business? Are they just simply fun humans that you find on the Internet - to pass the time by? My favourite people on Instagram are the ones that take the time to invest in quality thinking, that they shape and put out into the world. 👌
I like the ones that don’t bark orders or seem to be the know it all’s, I like the ones that challenge and ask you to think bigger, the ones steeped in experience that are generous enough to share it with the rest of the world.
Let me know your favourites and why you like them. I’m keen to follow some new thought leaders and change makers. 🙌

Happy 80th birthday Bob Dylan! Reflecting on your

Happy 80th birthday Bob Dylan! Reflecting on your music and your time at the Sydney Opera House where I was your Stage Manager. Remembering how you didn’t utter a word to that audience and how you still had them in the palm of your hand. Now I’ve moved on since then and the funny thing about personal branding is how much importance we place on connecting with the audience, showing them who we are, getting our message across, & creating raving fans. 🤯 How can I do the social media game well, and still maintain my personal & artistic integrity in the process? Bob always did it his way, and I think kept and keeps his cards close to his chest. 🧐 I must say he was pretty chuffed with the show and came offstage relaxed and somewhat uptempo. 👌 How will you navigate your personal branding strategy aka digital online presence? Something to think about, something to ponder, something to create. 🙌

In a digital world where you’re being told to ni

In a digital world where you’re being told to niche down for ultimate success, how could you possibly niche down if you don’t actually know yourself.

Perhaps you spend days seeing what others are doing on socials and it shakes your confidence?

What are you trying to create? What message are you trying to convey?

What product or service are you wanting to create? Why?

What are your big ideas? The things that keep you up at night?

See it’s hard to niche down, if you don’t know what you want to create and it’s hard to know what to create if you don’t know yourself.

Are you funny, serious, quirky? Are you able to be yourself on camera?

Do you value your thoughts and ideas or self edit yourself for fear of judgement?

Sure you can start to niche now, but knowing thy self will save you time, you’ll be in better alignment and not in a position where you have to pivot time and time again; after investing your precious hours into something that actually didn’t bring you much joy creating.

I think you’ve got to be clear on what you stand for, clear on your messaging, and be comfortable enough in your own skin, to not see roadblocks, hurdles or failures as a full stop; but the beginning of new possibility.

It’s simply a process, that we get better at overtime. Play the long game.

Here’s to you knowing thyself better!

Accountability is everything. How you show up is i

Accountability is everything. How you show up is important but doing what you say is also paramount to nailing your goals (& living your goodness)
Living well, out in the open sure beats one spent ducking and weaving or hiding under the covers.
It calibrates in so many ways and it’s reach is far.
It’s about truth, integrity, putting your hand up, sometimes walking the path alone, and operating from your truth.
It ain’t easy and is so much more than nailing your list.
It’s great to have a buddy but BRILLIANT when you can tap dance in and around the word “Accountability” and it is effortless.
Listen into Nerds of Joy Podcast. New episode dropped today. It might just spark a few ideas to keep you a bit more accountable ☺️🙌🙏

Was having a conversation today about communicatio

Was having a conversation today about communication and how much struggle, some people have, to deliver their message, made even more bothersome when negotiating terms or navigating creative differences.
See here’s the thing. We all arrive in a room loaded with past experience, preconceived ideas, unconscious bias, perhaps regret, negativity or stress built up from the day. Have you ever been wound up by someone else’s energy or problem? These energy vampires will suck you dry. So guard your mojo fiercely.
Do you think we could integrate the way we communicate with others by being better aware of these things? Perhaps we might understand another person drivers or we might in fact be able to use influence for a better experience. Perhaps we could redirect or disrupt their pattern to work towards being in clearer energetic alignment.
I like my own time. A space to think, in silence sometimes, but I also love to collaborate and draw up ideas pinging back and forth in a room.
Stitching ideas together is my jam. I’ve given myself a wide berth today to formulate new strategy, study some folks, revisit mentor notes and once again realise how much I have grown my digital toolkit, amplified by working and communicating with thousands of humans of all shapes and sizes over decades. Managing people on a grand scale is an art. Getting them to come on the journey, with “walls down”communication, a pure joy.
I’m a methodical beast, expert in observation and dedicated to facilitating change, growth, digital savviness and confidence in others.
Nice to meet you on the interweb if we haven’t met before.
So many good things to help you in your digital business - so please STANDBY! (you cannot take the Stage Manager out of me)
For those of you with your curiosity piqued, you can head to Nerds of Joy Podcast. You’ll find it on all good listening platforms. And I’ve just dropped a new episode!!

You’d better listen to the latest episode of the

Remembering our fallen soldiers that served through sacrifice and the men and women that serve our country this Anzac Day.
These photos were taken 6 years ago on the 100 year commemoration. 🙏 I was the “show caller” for the ceremony calling images, mc, speakers & the offical ceremony for broadcast. Cueing the minute silence for all the city lights in Martin Place to be turned off was a great honour. I’ve only recently discovered our family connection to 2 brothers from New Zealand that lost their lives in the great battle.
We will remember them. ❤️

Lest we forget.

Guest Lecturing today on Stage Management & Events

Guest Lecturing today on Stage Management & Events to a packed room of tertiary & mature aged students. I remember back to my wild & woolly days at university & the way we have raised the bar in so many ways - both technically, in wellbeing and with greater emotional intelligence. Gone are the days when a dispute might be settled with your fist. So old school rock n roll. 🤘😎
My great love of sharing knowledge, mentoring and empowering students to seek a higher potential was definitely scratched & they even got small digital & social media tips to amplify their projects.
So many new ideas borne out of this space today and how I can help you in your works. Grateful for the opportunity. 🙏👌
Do you even know what a Stage Manager does?

Waking up Sunday, may your day be filled with joy

Waking up Sunday, may your day be filled with joy and ease. We fully plan to enjoy the day swimming at the beach, dropping the wild hustle and celebrating the new. Happy Easter⭐️🐰

❤️ I’ve learned and grown exponentially sinc

❤️ I’ve learned and grown exponentially since leaving the Sydney Opera House. Do you know I was a Stage Manager there for 23 years? ❤️ Thankyou to the beautiful people that made my Farewell soirée so special and to the amazing Sydney Opera House. A send off beyond expectation on the beautiful Sydney Harbour. 🙌
I leapt off the sails headfirst into entrepreneurship, digital business and massive imperfect growth. ⭐️
I do miss binging on live music,
I miss the explosive laughter, the theatrical mayhem and unbridled office banter. Swapped for a lone laptop, tucked up and covid safe. 👩‍💻 But the change has been so good to stretch and lay down fresh neural wiring. 😉 Thanks for being part of the digital growth. Reach out if you need to integrate 2 worlds - the old and the new in your biz, or are you a seeker of change. It’s not always easy, but the art is in the start. 🙌😍 Thanks FB. Some kinda memories.

TBH I’m not a superquote fan, but I stumbled upon Einstein’s words, that might give you the gentle cheerleading or recognition for all that you are doing today. 🙌 So I’ve made it red and hope it pops to stop the scroll just for a moment, to acknowledge the difficult and often scary things you are doing to drive your caboose forward.
Progress is everything! 👌❤️

Is it over yet? 🧐The pandemic has changed a lot

Is it over yet? 🧐The pandemic has changed a lot of things, including the way we create as artists. I use to hop on many planes as we toured shows on a super tight schedule, performing to packed houses. 🙌 As we alter, change and amend the ways we work, May we continue to trust that things, opportunities and possibilities are everywhere. 🙌 May we continue to create as makers, artists, innovators and entrepreneurs because the grit and tenacity is here, made possible by the year we’ve had. 👊 This show won a Helpmann Award. We flew all around the country, delighted the audience and binged in the Qantas lounge. 👌 Here’s to new adventures, celebrating the 2.0 version of doing work, life and business. 🙌
How have you had to change, adapt or pivot the way you do things?
