[A four minute read] I am usually a calm and positive person. But I fall from grace when businesses fail to deliver, frustrate me with illogical and infuriating processes and waste my time. It kinda makes me want to flip a table. But then I remember that strategy is far more effective than tantrums and it’s helped […]
[A five minute read] A stress free weekend, for less than the price of a Sydney dinner. Yes, it can be done! The last few months have been heeeeectic. I’m sure you can relate. It’s easy to think that doing overtime will help you get ahead, and sometimes it will. But sometimes having time away […]
[A five minute read] One of my biggest lessons of my career is: Busy is not a badge of honour. I’m going to say it again so it really sinks in: BUSY IS NOT A BADGE OF HONOUR. At a recent industry event, I had a really interesting conversation with some peers about the culture of busyness. […]
[A three minute read] I first discovered the power of gratitude a few years ago. After a particuarly unfulfilling New Years Eve, I decided that in the new year I would want less and thank more. This is not to say I had no goals – it just meant I practiced being happier with what […]
[A three minute read] Stress is like a vortex, taking us to a place where our usual logic can’t be found. Our energy is empty and it feels like our world is crashing down. Stress is a condition of the mind, one that can only be overcome with the mind – our greatest asset in […]
[A three minute read] Recently I received a lastminute.com request to organise a cloak room the day before a cocktail event for 300 guests at Standard Bowl, a bar in Sydney. Cloak rooms are one of those elements of events that seem minor, but without a logical and efficient system guests will remember the cloak room chaos rather than how ace the […]
[A three minute read] Travel is a part of our job description as event managers and I still remember my first business trip (escorting Ronald McDonald on a road show but that’s another story…) I felt so glamorous, confident, grown up and ready for adventure. The gloss somewhat wears off when you are working 16 hour […]
[A three minute read] I write this from the back seat of a mini bus, halfway between Cartagena and Santa Marta along the Colombian Caribbean Coast. Long distance buses in foreign countries are not something I usually say “yay!” to. In my mind, I imagine being wedged between chickens and screaming children for hours on end […]
[A five minute read] After locking in my South American adventure, I realised I would be on 10 flights in 30 days. Sydney – San Francisco – Cancun – Medellin – Cartagena – Santa Marta – Bogota – Los Angeles – Sydney. I was not keen to drag a suitcase though cities with haphazard footpaths, […]
[A five minute read] I just finished watching the Rio Opening Ceremony and now have a massive #workcrush on Marco Balich, the Italian Executive Producer calling the show. If I was on the IOC, I would declare Rio the winner before a single athlete laced up their shoes. Balich so articulately conveyed life in 2016 across […]
