Resiliency comes in many forms.

Going through IVF was one of the most overwhelming, gruelling experiences of my life. I was determined to have a daughter later in life, with just a 20% chance, according to my doctor.

I brought the same "positive, can-do" energy that had always worked for me, in life, in business. I had a goal. I believed effort and hard work would get me there.
Then the first round failed. I was devastated. My positivity cracked. More negative results followed.

It took time to stop pushing so hard against something I couldn't control by sheer will.

So I slowed down. I kept believing, but more lightly this time. I stressed less. I went back to a practice I love: making vision boards for my future. That board was the first to include images of play and children.

And somewhere in that lightness, the dream came true. Not on my timeline, but at the right time.

Today, my 4-year-old daughter and I make vision boards together.
Resiliency isn't always about pushing harder. Sometimes it's about learning when to loosen your grip.

Look what I found whilst away for Greg's birthday! Another female founder who came up with a fabulous business name 😊 Another state and industry. So of course I had to shop there. Check out the blue poppies!

Leadership Tip: Slow down before you solve.

One of the biggest shifts I see in leaders as they grow into senior roles is this: they stop rushing to answer.

Early in our careers, we're rewarded for having the answer fast. Quick thinking looks like competence. But the higher you go, the more that instinct can actually work against you.

Here's why: the fastest answer is usually the first one that comes to mind​, and the first one that comes to mind is usually shaped by whatever's right in front of you, not the bigger picture. Big picture, macro thinking asks something different of us. It asks us to pause, zoom out, and ask:

The tip: Next time you're asked something in the moment, try responding with, "Let me think about that properly and come back to you." It's not a weakness​, it's a signal that you're thinking at the level the role actually requires.

Big picture thinking isn't slower. It's just aimed further out.

Co-facilitating with your co-owner (aka your husband) is tricky, complicated business! Dinner table tension, content debating, some fun and patience! This was the inaugural debut after years of Greg and I, were accustomed to facilitating independently.

Thankfully, it was a success, lots of great questions from FBA Advisors and positive feedback. We told stories of two client case studies, highlighting their journey to achieve high performance. And more candidly what it takes us, part of a team of five to run a global leadership business for Fortune 100 & ASX clients. We ended with a room full of Tall Poppy sock wearers committed to Standing Tall!

A shout out to Michael Watts & Katie McMeekin from Family Business Association (AU) and Grant Thornton Australia for providing the amazing space and view.

You don't need to shrink to fit in, and you don't need to become someone else to stand out. The tallest, strongest poppies are the ones rooted in who they really are.

Reading about travel whilst I'm travelling is one of my favourite "chilling" activities. There's something glorious about flipping through colourful images and dreaming about future destinations!

It's a habit that started in my 20s, backpacking around Europe with my trusty Lonely Planet guide, whilst buying a guide to South America.

Now in my 40s, I read travel magazines on planes. It's a fabulous way to switch off and let my busy mind play instead of work.

What are your fun habits to switch off?

There's very little development designed for leaders at the top.

Most programs are built for people still climbing. By the time you reach the executive level, the assumption is you've figured it all out. But the leaders who are truly exceptional, the ones who inspire their organisations and make things happen, never stop investing in themselves.

Tall Poppies works with C-suite leaders who want to go further – in their own way, as themselves.

If that's you, let's talk ➡️ https://tallpoppies.us/executives/

We often see decisions carrying far more weight than they need to – restructures, hires, difficult conversations, strategic shifts.

While senior leaders search for more certainty, teams are often waiting for clarity. Priorities stall, momentum slows, and important conversations stay unresolved.

One of the most valuable leadership skills is recognising when you have enough information to move forward. If there’s a decision you’ve been carrying for a while, ask yourself: what am I waiting for, and will it meaningfully change the outcome?

Many of the leaders we work with use Executive Coaching as a space to work through moments just like these, to test assumptions, challenge their thinking, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Learn more and reach out at www.tallpoppies.us 🔗

Uplifting and reaffirming – that's the participant feedback from our Women’s Leadership Workshop! It’s just the feeling we want every leader to bask in.

5/5 for all questions! It was relevant, insightful, enhanced my self-awareness and connected me to myself.

This is exactly why we do what we do – creating space to pause, reflect, and Stand Tall as a leader!

The sound of chimes calmed us, the leadership words empowered us, the reflection centred us, and the peer sharing connected us. 🌷

An incredible circle of women joined for a new Tall Poppy experience – a combination of sound healing and Women’s Leadership! I love new experiences, allowing experimentation and growth!

Thank you to every woman who showed up and shared a part of themselves that doesn't always get airtime. Meaningful conversation – where you put down the armour and stand taller as a leader.

Gratitude to Linda @ The Glow Circuit for opening up a beautiful space for us! This is just the beginning.

Stand Tall.
