I don’t do much life coaching these days, but if people seek me out, and I've got the space, I’m happy to help.

Someone who did exactly that, was this deadset legend.

He’s a ripper of a bloke, a real rough diamond who's spent the last five (and a bit) decades playing by everyone else's rules, but now that he's ready to play by his own rules, he discovered he didn’t have any.

So, instead of reverting back to just saying yes to everyone (when he occasionally just wanted to raise his middle finger and say no), putting off the bucketlist travel goals because he was “no good with technology” and withdrawing from really living, because anxiety forced him to go straight home - he decided to get help putting a new rule book together.

One that wasn't just in his own language, but also one that would help him grow, set boundaries and go after what he wants rather than just what other people told him he should do.

Seeing the fog lift from his self-esteem was such an honour – and I don’t mind saying, a whole lot of fun too. What a ripsnorter of a gift it was to have him drop off this card, especially after searching many shops for the right one, and then telling me that this was new for him, as he’s “no good with words".

"I'm now not drowning in the whirlpool, I'm surfing it!" Dunno about you, but I reckon those are pretty amazing words.

He is a timely reminder that growth isn’t about reinventing yourself. It’s about peeling back the layers of who you've been told to be, until you rediscover who you actually are.

The corporate equivalent of a death stare in Arial 11pt.

Be honest, how many times have you wanted to use this line over the past week? 😂

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! 📣

A special shoutout to all the workplace warriors who:

📣 THINK VOLUME IS A LOVE LANGUAGE
📣 PREFER TO DICTATE THAN DISCUSS
📣 BELIEVE LOUD = IMPORTANT.

Today’s your day to SHINE, COMMAND, and COMPLETELY MISS THE POINT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳

For everyone else, I’m curious - do they still exist? Have you seen a CAPS LOCKER in the wild recently?

Tools like DISC, Print, Click Colours, or Myers-Briggs aren’t there to put us in a box or give us a neat little excuse for why we behave like crap sometimes. But if they're not debriefed properly, that's exactly what they become.

A permission slip for "see, that's just who I am!"

These incredible tools are designed to help you get curious. To identify the default ways you and your teams communicate, react, or deal with the tricky stuff. To identify what naturally motivates them and gets their productivity soaring, and to equally identify what gives them a big dose of the CBF yawns and gets efficiency nosediving.

If you've ever had a profiling consultant list all the things you’re terrible at because of your results, I have one piece of advice for you - sack their arse and go find someone who actually knows what they’re doing and knows how to use profiling results as a catalyst for growth, instead of an excuse for stagnancy.

Good profiling isn’t about judgment. It’s about awareness. It’s about making sense of human behaviour so you and your people can work smarter, communicate better, and actually want to stick with each other, not stick it to each other.

You and your people are not a box. You’re a glorious, multi-flavoured layer cake that has it's level of sweetness, bitterness and energy inspiring qualities determined by how well we understand ourselves and each other

So, for the love of all that’s holy, or coffee, or whatever you worship, make sure your personality or behaviour specialist makes things simple and uses real language that helps people want to grow, not one that uses the results to label, limit or overwhelm.

Not all personality providers are the same, and not everyone calling themselves an expert is one. Find someone with proper accreditation, real experience, and a genuine understanding of human behaviour, not someone who’s just watched a few webinars and learned the lingo.

Get someone real. Someone who can tailor their language to whoever they're working with and someone who makes personality exploration exciting not confusing.

Quit using personality profiling to tick a box, because you’ll probably just end up just ticking people off.

Full disclosure, I am NOT a Print, or Myers Briggs profiling expert.

However, I can offer you DISC, Click! Colours and/or the 12 Driving Forces.

Happy to have a chat if you'd like to know more about how these can help your organisation's culture, communication and capacity.

Here’s a fab new word for you - JOGAYOP

It’s that magical mental switch flip that happens when you realise no one’s holding up scorecards, or handing out big shiny trophies for burnout.

This was a massive lesson I learned some years ago. I had stretched myself so thin working extra hours, making sure I didn’t let anyone down or look like I was doing a sh*tty job, and as a result I hit the wall big time.

My pancreas pulled rank, slammed me in a hospital bed of pain controlling sedation for several days and recovery meant I had to start saying “no”.

And the weirdest thing happened.

People said “ok”.

No one died, and I learned that it was never them expecting the world of me, it was me assuming they were expecting the world of me.

You’re allowed to slow down, take your time, and actually enjoy the bloody ride.

Fun fact - I now achieve more, my working less. Go figure!!

Is there a chance that, in some part of your life, you’re performing for non-existant scorecards too?

The other day I was adulting and preparing for a brow microblading touch-up (oh the joy of not needing to colour them in anymore) happening the next day.

I have a little tube of numbing gel I have to put on a half-hour beforehand, and I thought I’d whip it into my bag, so I didn’t (as usual) forget to bring it.

I always keep it in the same spot, in a zip lock bag in my bathroom cupboard.

Except, when I went to grab it, it wasn’t there.

And when I say, “wasn’t there,” I mean literally!

It was gone.

After scratching my head a bit and coming up with a total blank, because it’s ALWAYS there, I tore half the house apart trying to find it.

I ripped through drawers, pulled apart cupboards, raided handbags (oh the treasures I found in those), checked the car, even rummaged through the first aid kit, all the while narrating out loud to the cat that this is ridiculous, because I never put it anywhere else than the bathroom cupboard.

It HAS to be there. But yet another search in, behind, around tubes, containers, products and fake news miracle wrinkle erasers, nope. It was gone!

This went on for a couple of hours until I eventually gave up and resigned myself to the fact that I’d need to cancel my appointment (because the gel is a prescription and takes a couple of days to get) and sulky-sulk, forgo my deposit.

Oh well, if that’s the worst that happens to me that day, I’m not doing too bad. Nope, who am I kidding? This was NOT ok!

Anyway, you WON'T %$ #?ing believe it.

The next morning, I opened the bathroom cupboard to grab my toothbrush … and there it was.

That bloody tube.

Sitting there, plain as day.

EXACTLY where it was supposed to be - except it wasn’t in the zip lock bag.

It was just lying there, all smug, and if it had eyes, I reckon they’d be rolling.

WTH!!!

It was RIGHT THERE!

In the place I had looked 37 times the night before!

And THAT'S when it clicked🤦‍♀️

I hadn’t been looking for the gel, I had been looking for the zip lock bag, and my brain had dismissed everything that, well, WASN’T a zip lock bag.

And as I stood there, dumbfounded at the work, and stress I had created for myself, I couldn't help but reflect on how we do this kind of stuff every day.

We go searching for proof that we’re ok, that other people like and support us, that our team, our success, our communication, our bodies and our worth are all right up there, racing towards “absolutely smashing it”.

But one thing always gets in the way.

Confirmation bias – which is our brain’s habit of noticing, valuing, and seeing ONLY the stuff that supports what we already believe, and ignoring or dismissing anything that contradicts it.

In other words, once you’ve decided something is true, such as:

‼️My numbing gel lives in a zip lock bag.
‼️That team member is lazy.
‼️I am crap at tricky conversations
‼️I don’t like that person.
‼️That person doesn’t like me.
‼️I’m no good at ...
‼️I’ll never be, do, have …..

… that’s all you’re going to see. Even if there’s a sh*t tonne of proof to the contrary, doing the lambada in front of you.

Everything else gets blurred out, distorted or deleted from your awareness.

So, here’s a question for you – what great stuff are YOU missing, because you’re hellbent on only seeing what you’ve convinced yourself is true?

And here’s another question - what if it’s not?

Maybe the real touch-up we need isn’t with our brows, it’s with our unhealthy, screwed-up, outdated bias.

Thoughts?

Nothing says psychosocial hazard quite like being ‘voluntold’ you need unpaid annual leave for your annual leave.

If you’re in charge of a team, here’s something you NEED to know.

Staff don't need a leader when things are going well, they need a leader when things are going south. And your ability to lead when things aren’t going well is the difference between a team that works well and a team that doesn’t.

A team needs a leader who can identify issues without making them personal, set boundaries without making them feel like punishment and have conversations that inspire accountability, not compromise it.

A leader's ability to do these things all comes down to their own understanding of emotional intelligence and how to demonstrate it.

A leader WITH emotional intelligence will walk into difficult meetings without that knot in their stomach, they'll know how to read the room and keep themselves steady when things get heated, they'll know how to get people actually listening (instead of resisting or retreating) and they'll have people solving problems instead of contributing to them.

But, a leader without strong emotional intelligence is NOT a leader who's defective or somehow inept, they are simply a leader who's never been taught what EI is or how to use it.


So, if you’re exhausted, done with the eggshells (and emotional landmines) and want to become a leader people trust and want to listen to, you still have a little time to save yourself a place and do something incredibly helpful for your team and for your own sanity.

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to navigate different personalities once you know how and in doing so, you’ll be raising the bar for your team.

Wednesday, October 15th and Thursday, October 16th.
8.30am – 4pm in Bunbury.
$695pp which includes lunch both days, a workbook reference and tools and strategies you can implement immediately.

‼️(This training is scheduled again for February 2026 at $995pp so if you can make October’s roll out, you’ll be saving $300 along with your team’s morale.)

Just as an FYI - this training has had huge take-up in local government, and the feedback has indicated that leaders are better equipped to mitigate conflict, not just manage it, that their role has become easier and several participants ranked it as one of the best trainings they have attended.

One also said that looking back on past issues, he now sees that if he'd had these tools, the outcomes would have been a lot better.

Oh, and apparently the food is "next level". 😀

I would be so grateful if you'd share this with any contacts you have in local government so they can decide it it's a good fit for them.
