Thrilled to receive my Award for Educator of Excellence by Professional Speakers Australia (in person, one year on!) at the Annual Awards ceremony and when I think about the calibre of previous awardees I am truly humbled! So lucky to do what I do!

This week I received the Hall of Fame award for Educator of the Year by Professional Speakers Australia – PSA. I am humbled, honoured and thrilled. In my practice, I work at both ends of the continuum from good to great to the dysfunctional and toxic. It's a huge responsibility, often risky, is dependent on trust, empathy and unswerving focus on outcomes but what a privilege to be in the room when magic happens! I can't believe the clients with whom I still get to work after 26 years and the calibre of previous winners including amongst others Lisa McInnes Smith, Glenn Capelli, Amanda Gore, David Penglase, Colin James, Ian Stephens and the late Max Walker.

Some tips from me and Kim Seeling Smith on how to negotiate a hybrid work arrangement in a respectful and open way.

When you can work at home with your moccasins on and you're still as productive as you were in the office, why would you want to return to the workplace?

Quoted today in The Age on the challenges of bringing staff back to work safely, negotiating around personal circumstances and real anxiety, continuing to trust those who worked hard and pulled together against the odds with the harsh reality of productivity slumps in those who require closer supervision and the difficulty for managers building team spirit from a distance

Psychologists report both bosses and workers are feeling the strain of Melbourne’s return to the office and many are seeking help.

Pleased to be quoted in this The Guardian article on psychologically safe and unsafe workplaces. Interesting thoughts from intelligent and informed women who understand first hand that turning the tide can only happen with resolute and courageous leadership. Sadly these situations when they occur take no prisoners every time and the threat of victimisation at all levels can stop good people from doing the right thing. The right thing by the way is not assuming guilt. It is taking seriously without taking sides and seeking the "closest truth" we can taking into account the facts and circumstances flowing to appropriate, proportional action. NO

Too often leaders are out of touch with what is going on in their workplaces. Defining a set of values is the key to progress – and leaders must live by those values

My latest article in response to allegations of sexual harassment against two high profile men. Why can humans in some reverse, perverse blame shifting exercise, find reasons why the alleged victims have wronged us in some way when very few of them lie? NO

"Why didn't they complain if they thought somebody wronged them?" "Why didn't they come forward before? Why now? Surely that's suspicious!" "I bet they're just after publicity. Or money, maybe.
