So that was Christmas (but the war is not over)🎶
January 2022. Is it a déjà vu or Groundhog Day? Probably a mix of both with a little ‘feeling like death warmed up’. My family is one of the many millions of Australians stuck in isolation as close contact or sick with COVID. Unfortunately, we are the latter so it’s a fun time with 2…
Leave liability – are you exposed? Here’s your sunscreen
Summer is coming. Borders are opening. We can smell mango in the air and 2022 is just around the corner. We are all cautiously hoping the new year will be a vast improvement on 2021. Most importantly, will it give us the freedom to plan (dare I say it?) a holiday? Whatever your holiday plans are,…
Is it the Great Resignation?
OH NO! That’s the collective cry of anguish (expletives deleted) of parents and grandparents around Australia at the earth-shattering news when Emma Watkins announced she was leaving The Wiggles.

Are you a ‘Dubler’ Leader?
Tokyo 2020/2021. They were games that weren’t supposed to happen. They were the games we didn’t know we wanted but desperately needed. But it wasn’t the gold medals that will leave a lasting impression. It will be the golden nuggets of wisdom and strength from extraordinary athletes. To quote a few of the more memorable…
When working from home bites you in the a$$…..literally!!
Currently, my work colleagues are a 3 ½ and 2-year-old and today we hit an all-time low. My 2-year old’s melty involving him biting me on the a$$!! Needless to say, we were both in tears. Now I’m not sharing because I think I’m the only parent suffering this working from home fate. Parents with…
Top 5 HR Headaches
What is your number 1 business problem? If it is employing people (those HR Headaches), you probably already know you are not alone. Many business owners are card-carrying members of the “Bring on the robots” party! It’s also true that people are the key to growth in your business and that means that we must navigate the…
Making Working from Home, Work
One of the twists and turns of 2020 was the working from home phenomenon. Until there are satisfactory vaccination levels, we can bank on having Marty McFly ‘Back to the Future’ moments with continuous working from home government mandates. Many large businesses adopted a hybrid-working model a long time ago and had the systems and…
Intelligences and Team Development
I seem to be spending a lot of my time in planes lately, which has the advantage of allowing me to catch up on reading articles of more general interest. Last week I read a couple of articles that particularly attracted my attention from the point of view of team development for any small business. Team development is…
