Nicola Roxon’s valedictorian speech to parliament on Tuesday got me thinking about success and how our definition of success can and should shift according to our changing circumstances.

Procrastination is not a crime but it has killed a lot of things: start-up ideas, business improvements, manuscripts, decent exam results, weight-loss plans and plenty of potential career changes.

The results of our recent Heat Poll, a national survey of more than 753 women in June 2013, has brought to light a belief that I have held for a long time; that women are not as comfortable negotiating their salary as men.

The column that I wrote last week detailing a friend’s stay or leave dilemma made mention of the impact that skilfully managing up had on a person’s promotional prospects.

Career sabotage is recognised as a form of workplace bullying by the WorkCover Authority of NSW.

Dear business me, You are doing so well.

As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
