Stop and smell the sunflowers!

Had a huge urge to escape my urban cage last week so I do. I parked what I was working on for a few hours and found some countryside, fresh air, giant flowers, other people enjoying the same and having fun! I couldn’t help but smile for the rest of the day. Had some great ideas while out and about too!

Thanks to all the farmers out there bringing joy to us urbanites and providing an opportunity to stop and smell the sunflowers.

It's a wrap!

Actual picture of what’s under my Christmas tree right now. However, the best presents this year are from you – my peers, clients and connections. I am constantly blown away by your generosity of time, energy, advice and support. 

I’m always cooking up new ideas and schemes that support what I do and what I want to do – and I get my inspiration and ingredients from working with you! 

Thank you!!! And enjoy your break.

See you in 2024 - when I reveal new recipe’s. 

Activating senses…

Beautiful coastline, white sand (Lucky Beach is currently No.1 beach in the world), extreme heat (39 degrees), wind, various wildlife and insects, deserts, massive grain fields, mines, road trains, wineries, lush forests and straight roads far into the horizon. Western Australia is a place of extreme contrasts activating all senses. 

I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to give my senses a workout over the last two weeks – an extreme mindfulness exercise and a positive psychology technique to aid perspective and self-awareness.

I integrate positive psychology tolls within all my work. A trip to WA may not be practical for you or your team right now, but a coaching session in a park or forest might be?
