Leadership

I had my first manicure in many, many months yesterday.

Opinion pieces are an interesting beast.

High-profile and wealthy women of New York were recently heard lamenting, via The Daily Beast that they were short on options for finding love.

Have you been sitting at your desk wondering if this will be your life for the next 30 years? Are you constantly looking at job advertisements in different industries? Do you have a dream job but have never felt confident enough to change paths? As women we tend to put ourselves last.

A few months ago I was invited to attend The Women In Leadership series as an alumni of The AGSM.

When it comes to your work, are you more driven by what inspires you, or by what scares you? Are you willing to speak up at work, transition your career, start a new business or take on a great big job, when there’s the possibility that you’ll fail? Fear is the number one emotion that stops us from living the lives we most want.

When my oldest child was barely two I had to take a two-week business trip to London and New York.

A job for life is no longer a prescription for success.

I was telling a friend how I used to race from my office to my son’s kindergarten classroom every Friday at 10.

Have your strengths – those things you like doing and are good at – ever gotten you into trouble at work? It sounds counter-intuitive but new research suggests while many workplaces have started to advocate the use of your strengths, there is a real potential for what you do best to become a career-limiting weakness.

Five years ago I joined the Board of Netball Australia as the appointed director.

There are times when I feel incredibly proud of what I’ve achieved.
