Up coming public speaking workshop.

I avoided public speaking for years.
Missed opportunities.
Kept quiet in meetings.
Even on my own wedding day, I couldn’t fully enjoy the day because I was so nervous about giving my speech
So I did something about it.
I learned how to speak in public.
Step by step.
And now, I do it for a living.
Not because I’m naturally gifted.
Because I learned the skill and I want to share the skills and the science behind it with you.
That’s exactly why I created this.
A 4-week, beginner-friendly public speaking course for every day people.
It’s not about being perfect.
Or being as good as Obama.

It’s about being able to:
Speak up in meetings
Give a clear presentation at work
Deliver a wedding speech you’re proud of.
Stop overthinking and actually enjoy it… or at least walk away thinking that wasn’t as bad as I thought.

We build confidence week by week.

Week 1 — manage nerves and deliver a 30-second talk
Week 2 — structure your message and speak for 1 minute
Week 3 — delivery, presence, and a 2-minute talk
Week 4 — bring it all together with a 5-minute talk
Confidence comes from competence.
And this gives you both.

If this sounds like something for you… this could genuinely change how you show up in life, like it did for me.

We kick off May 11th
5:30pm to 7:00pm
State Buildings, Perth CBD

$299 for all 4 sessions

Back with ATCO Australia , another great session on communication and de-escalation.

Plenty of learning, sharing storie and a few laughs.

We can’t control what other people think or feel or sometimes the reason why they may feel a certain way
but we can take full accountability for how we respond.

Sometimes thats not choosing to engage in any conflict .
Sometimes that’s choosing our words carefully.
And sometimes, it’s knowing when to step away and take ourselves away from the situation.

Appreciate the crew for getting involved and being open to learning, made for great session!😊

Back in City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder recently revisited the hostel which had a big part of my journey in Australia.

I was a 30 years old immigrant. Totally new to Australia. Knew not one single soul and needed regional work for a second-year visa.

Landed a job as a drillers offsider.
Sleeping in a swag for up to 5 weeks.
Up at 4am 10-11 hr shifts.
Working in that Jan/Feb WA heat with no shade but the rig.

I enjoy the physical things although days were tough it was also simple.
Good blokes, cards, beers a few laugh.

Now I head back there for different reason.
Delivering workshops. Working with teams. Helping people take charge of their wellbeing.
Same place. Different life and perspective.

I’m not saying this to be preachy… just reflecting on it.
We’re probably not as stuck as we sometimes feel.
Things can change.
Careers, directions, even how we see ourselves.
Not saying you should change anything…
But you can, if you want to.

Sometimes it starts small.
A course. A conversation. A decision.

You don’t need it all figured out.
Just start somewhere.😊

Out in of Kalgoorlie-Boulder for a few days delivering de-escalation and communication training, along with some simple tools to help manage overthinking and get a better night’s rest.

The crew at ATCO were fantastic. Really engaged, got stuck in, and made the sessions what they were.

Had the chance to visit one of the largest open pit mines you can see from space… and also the world’s biggest bin. Still not sure if the bin chickens are just as big 😉

A really good few days well spent!

Got to spend some time up in delivering communication, de-escalation, and also the Take Charge workshop with one of regional teams.

Always good getting out to different parts of WA.

Some of the main things in the sessions was around keeping things simple and practical:

• Slowing things down instead of rushing or hustling all the time
• Choosing how you respond, rather than going on autopilot

And at the same time, acknowledging we’re human. We won’t get it right every time… but having a few strategies in place gives us the best chance when it matters.

Appreciate the team having me up there and getting stuck into it.😊

Spent the weekend in the City CBD delivering Mental Health First Aid with a group who chose to invest their time in learning how to support someone who might be struggling.

We covered how to recognise the signs, how to have the conversation, and importantly, understanding our role as first aiders.

It’s not about having all the answers, i put that pressure on myself when I first became a first aider, but just by showing up, caring, listening, and letting someone know they’re not alone can be incredibly impactful.

Thank you and
I take my hat off to everyone who showed up, got involved, and were willing to learn and have such great conversations even after a busy week. 🎩

Don’t wait for symptoms.
Prostate cancer often has no early warning signs was a big takeaway for me while I delivered a Health First Aid International training with the fantastic PCaHELP team.

The focus was supporting support group leaders with the skills and confidence to have conversations around mental health and how to support others doing it tough.

In Australia, 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85.
So if you know 6 men… one of them will be affected.
Your dad, your brother, your mate or yourself.

The encouraging part is, if it’s caught early, the 5-year survival rate is close to 100%.

And despite what a lot of blokes still think, you don’t have to go straight to the finger test.👆
A simple PSA blood test is often the first step. Quick, straightforward, and it can give you an early signal.

A big thank you to Bezant for his tireless work, and to everyone in the room.
Not just for showing up and getting involved in the training, but for the work you do every day supporting men and their families.

And thank you to Ian Wee and the Perth Integrated Health Group of Companies for their generosity in supporting this space.

If you’re reading this… go and get checked chat with your GP
Or encourage the men in your life to.

I’ve got mine booked in the next few days.😊

Back in with the ATCO crews this week working on de-escalation and communication skills that help not just at work but in our personal lives too.

The main takeaways for the workshop are-
Control the controllables when things get heated.
Pause.
Regulate yourself first.
Respond from a place of understanding and try to see where the other person is coming from.

We collaborated and customised the training to make it relatable specifically for their staff and the pressures of their industry.

High pressure environments.
Gas leaks in public spaces.
Broken gas pipes.
People having their gas turned off.
Confusion. Frustration. Communication breaking down.

The crews have been great,having honest conversations and challenging themselves.

And that’s how communication improves and sometimes there’s no need for actual de- escalation as it doesn’t reach that point.

I tip my hat to who have invested in all their field staff to complete the training.

This weekend was another reminder of why I feel so grateful to do the ‘job’ I have.

Through , we delivered a two day course to an incredible group of locals who gave up their weekend to build real skills in supporting others with mental health challenges.

Great conversations. Honest discussions. Confidence built. Connections formed.

Sixteen more people in our community now feel more equipped to recognise when someone might be struggling, start a conversation, and respond in a practical, evidence based way.

Thank you to everyone who committed their time and for those who made it happen. Weekends are precious. And you chose to invest yours back into the community happy days 😊

I’m also delivering a public Mental Health First Aid course on March 21 and 22 in the CBD, heavily subsidised by Charity to make it more accessible.

If cost has ever been the barrier, this is a great opportunity. It runs across the weekend as well, so no need to take time off work. https://lnkd.in/gQiDNK6B

I was recently honoured to be named Citizen of the Year by the .

I wanted to share this as a reflection on what volunteering has given me.

From a purely selfish point of view, I like helping people.
It makes me feel good.
It fills my cup.
Whether it’s spending time with the awesome people at , sitting in a men’s circle with and hearing a bloke say, I’ve had it pretty rough lately, this is exactly what I needed, or planning community events with , those moments of connection matter deeply to me.

In the past, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the amount of pain and suffering we see every day around the world. I’ve often found that disempowering. What I’ve learned, though, is that real change doesn’t have to be global. It can start right on our own doorstep. Imagine the footprint if everyone did something small, where they live.

Volunteering doesn’t have to mean starting an organisation or taking on something huge. It might be hosting a games night, helping with care packs, or lending your time locally in a small but meaningful way.

There are far too many names to mention here, but I want to say a genuine thank you to everyone who gives their time, energy, and care to the groups I’ve spent time with. This recognition belongs to all of you just as much as it does to me.

I also want to thank the City of Bayswater for the continued support of community initiatives like Bayswater Blokes.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved in your community but weren’t sure where to start, is a great option, or feel free to reach out and have a chat.

Sometimes helping others is also how we help ourselves.

Buzzing way to start the year 😊

I’ll admit, I was curious how this would land online.
It landed well 😊

What started years ago as a face to face beginner public speaking workshop has now been delivered online with Rail’s HSE team across the APAC region, supporting team members in Taiwan, China, India, and across Australia.

Face to face is still my first choice, but online delivery is a very close second when teams are spread across time zones and countries.

Public speaking in workplaces is rarely about stages or spotlights.
It’s about speaking clearly in meetings, explaining risk, handling questions, and feeling less in your head when you’re put on the spot.

Huge thanks to the Hitachi HSE team for their openness, energy, and engagement 🙏
