Come see me at Sydney Build in March and let’s have a chat about increasing the numbers and voice of women in the construction industry! It makes good social and financial sense to have the diversity of our communities reflected in the people who design and build them :).
Big shout out to our client, who are market leaders in with 50% female (compared to industry norm of just 12%)!

World Homelessness Day is nothing to celebrate - it's a time to reflect on how we can do things differently to ensure that everyone has a safe and comfortable place to call home.

What a day!

“We are ever changing, we are inclusive, we are welcoming. We don't define ourselves by rules. We define ourselves by our shared aspirations."

Inspiring words from Helene Malandain at . Every business can be a business for good. Thanks to my on the road trip, and all the other beautiful people I’ve met over the last few days. Love your work ❤️

Driving through - my heart goes out to the community. Shops closed, houses deserted - but still plenty of ❤️. There is lots of help@still needed, and I guess there are some pretty big decisions to be made. Good to see doing their good work, as always.

Having been laid low for the last week or 2 with Covid, I've been thinking about who we're fast becoming as a culture, and a lot of it ain't pretty.

Without particularly wanting to sound like Pollyanna (just carbon dated myself back into the dark ages), how hard can it be for people to use kindness first - always? Surely we're evolved enough by now as humans to work from a place of kindness and reason?

Again, sounding like a bit of a hippy perhaps (not that there's anything wrong with that), but the cult of the individual, courtesy of a capitalist democracy, appears to have delivered millions of miserable, frightened people and a planet under great distress, on the brink of becoming uninhabitable (perhaps not in my lifetime - but my grandkids are in real trouble).

I believe we're better together. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. We must stop walking past these problems that seem too complex for us to solve, and participate in the solution.

Small business is the largest employer of Australians, with 4.7 million of us working in them. There is a:

• Huge Opportunity for
• Small Business to make a
• Big Difference
in the way we live and work, and the health of our communities and our world.

I have a quiet chuckle every time I think about the Dalai Lama saying something along the lines that 'if you think something small can't make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room'.

Here are some interesting ideas from a group that are technically a competitor of mine, but I'm a true believer in 'collaboration is the new competition'. It's time for us all to work together :).

Have you incorporated sustainability into your small business? It's easier than you think and leads to a more profitable business. Find out how.
