It's Not About You

It's Not About You!


I was at a funeral recently and it was sad. It was sad that my friends husband had died and even sadder that the priest shifted the attention off the man who had died and on to himself.

I have seen this happen on several occasions. The host, celebrant or religious leader turns the spotlight on themselves, their message or their beliefs rather than focussing on the needs of the audience.

A good GREAT host knows that it is not about them. It is ALL about the audience. Be it a conference, funeral, some other ceremony or even a simple networking event, how can you make it about the audience or the other person?

How can you shift the focus to be about them and their needs?

Get out of the road and make the event more memorable for others and you will make a bigger name for yourself than you would turning the spotlight on yourself in the first place.

Plain and simple, it's not about you!

How Much?

How Much?



I have just taken on another mentoring client.

They are a leader in their industry, have a significant presence and are excellent at what they do but they charge only about 30% of the average industry price for some of their services.

Naturally one of the first things we will be doing is raising their prices.

To do this we will have to have some serious conversations, but not with their customers. It is all about what THEY think they are worth.

Your price does not reflect what your market thinks you are worth but what YOU think you are worth. You then need to go to market and position the value.

So Dear-Reader, how much are you worth?

Keep The Fire Burning

Keep The Fire Burning



It's winter in Australia and down south we are having a few cold nights. That's when it is great to huddle around a fire, feel the warmth and connect with those around you.

But the first doesn't keep alive by itself.

It needs a bit of a poke every now and again. Sometimes it needs more wood and if it gets too low sometimes you need to get some more kindling or fire starters just to beef it up again.

Life's like that.

Sometimes you need to give yourself a bit of a poke to get going again. It can be easy to slow down and forget that you are not operating as well as you could.
Other times, you need more fuel, more inspiration, more engagement, more ideas, more conversation, more thought provoking ideas, different perspectives or a fresh start on something.

It's all about keeping your inner fire going.

Dear-Reader, how do you keep your flame burning?

Leadership Position Vacant

Leadership Position Vacant

Screen Shot 2016-07-03 at 11.21.16 AM
For the first time ever, I was actively interested in the outcome of the Australian election. 
At the time of writing, it seems that the answer to the Australian Electoral Commission's question above is that NO-ONE is leading.
(Click on the image for the latest results from the Australia Electoral Commission).

What has been lacking in our politics (and the politics of some other nations as well) is strong, decisive, obvious leadership.  It seems that the Australian voting public trust each of the two dominant parties as much as each other.

Watching many of the interviews and discussions during the vote counting, many politicians forgot.
They forgot how to be real people.

Peddling their empty rhetoric until the very end of the broadcast there were repeated attempts to get them to be human, some would say "relatable" in their approach but it was to no avail.

The day after the election, with no clear winner and already there are rumours of leadership battles and party infighting.
It will be days, if not weeks until we find out who is running the country. There is even talk of another election.

What we have voted for is no-one.

The Australian public are so dissatisfied with our current representation that there is no obvious choice. We are collectively satisfied to stumble along until something better happens.

What about you Dear-Reader? Do you lead? 

Regardless of what you do, where you do it, do you lead?

Do make decisions and then act on them?
Are you open to ideas and if one of them is better than yours, admit it and take it on?
Do you engage and enthuse those around you? It could be colleagues, friends or even family members.
Do you take responsibility for your action and when you are wrong, admit it and make appropriate amends?
Do you speak respectfully of those around you, regardless of whether you agree with them or not?
When disagreeing, do you attack the idea and not the individual?

There is a dramatic need for more leaders in this world. Leadership positions abound.
Will you lead?

I hope you say "Yes"
