25.01.2022 Beautiful afternoon bike ride with the gang after a busy day of learning new concepts and techniques with @talentinsightsolutions Nature helps me reconnect after a busy day. What helps you reset?

21.01.2022 This is great! "The program is designed to give bush kids a similar kind of access to work experience that city kids get, in order to help them broaden their understanding of what kinds of jobs might be on offer once they finish school." https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//ee7fa0b657ea65458c88bc2

21.01.2022 This time next week we'll be heading to this beautiful place #palmcove Like so many we haven't had a proper holiday since covid and is so needed!

20.01.2022 BIG thanks to this absolute legend for not only providing an AMAZING venue for consults and workshops, but giving me support and encouragement from the start of my career coaching business! Each time I'm at The Hub I feel so welcomed by Sue and Eric, and it's wonderful seeing them follow their own path by creating an incredible space for locals to craft, share and connect! #werebettertogether It makes such a difference having those around you that lift you up and see your... potential! Loved doing face to face consults at The Hub and as I like to say it's not goodbye, but until next time #thehub #careercoaching #support #community #gratitude #followingyourpassion #careerintentions

18.01.2022 I personally experienced this in my early career when working in the insurance industry. I was very good at my job, made a lot and had well-meaning friends, family and managers say how well I was doing in this career, but I found it draining, misaligned to who I was, and what I wanted from life. I was craving something more exciting, challenging, variety in my day and tasks, less structured/corporate environment, fun and dynamic. This is when I decided to change into th...e events industry. What gives you that sense of fulfillment is feeling connected to what you’re doing - as it aligns with your core beliefs, values, strengths and priorities in life Some questions you can ask yourself to gather this information are: What activities/tasks do I like and dislike from my current or previous jobs? And why? Look for themes/patterns in your responses What am I most proud of in my personal or professional life? And why? What strengths did it use? What was the context? What are my priorities and values? Eg, flexibility (work/life balance), impactful work, money, creativity, growth, etc. Pick 5 top priorities and values. Once you have an idea about what lights you up and gives you energy, it’s time to start exploring, testing and experimenting career options Remember, just because you’re good at something doesn’t always mean you find it fulfilling. Focus on what gives you energy and why, this is where the magic happens!

18.01.2022 Tonight I nearly didn't make it to yoga. I decided earlier today, when I was feeling motivated, I'd book into a class as I haven't been for a while and I've been having trouble winding down before bed (had a lot of work/life organising on). Anyway, got to a couple hours before it was on and I found myself making all sorts of excuses - "I'm tired", "I can't be bothered", "I can go in a few days", etc, etc.... Even though I was feeling like not going, I reminded myself how good I feel afterwards and I really do need some me time and calm So long story short... I went, it was amazing and I feel so much lighter, clearer and upbeat! Not to mention proud of myself for pushing through my doubts/procrastination and focussing on the benefits I would gain What have you put off recently that's good for you? #mindset #worklifebalance #wellbeing #careerintentions

17.01.2022 Happy happy Christmas to you all! We've had a lovely day in beautiful Brisbane with family and hope you spent the day with those you love May the rest of 2020 bring you many blessings and joy into 2021!

17.01.2022 Proud parent moment! Ruby on the left is ours Such an awesome photo and surprise! Glad you got to sit on the Quirky Chair with your friend Coco and check-out The Hub Creative Space - Townsville's great activities this week! Get in on the action!

16.01.2022 There's a reason I've been a bit quiet on social media recently, my family and I found out 3 weeks ago we have been granted permission to move back to Aotearoa! So it's been all guns blazing since with getting ready to move out and sell our beautiful home. Although I'm moving back to NZ, I'm still going to provide career coaching services virtually to the wonderful Townsville community! ... Over the last 7 years I have built some amazing connections in Townsville and would love to still support this resilient, couragous, inspiring and compassionate community to thrive in their work & life! #careerdevelopment If you would like to lock-in a face to face consultation before I go, let me know! I can do these at The Hub Creative Space - Townsville until December! Thank you for your continued love and support, and wish us luck in packing our life into boxes, suitcases (huge thanks to all our helpers too, couldn't do it without you! ) #smallstepsbigchange Much & kindness, Diane #qualifiedcareerdevelopmentpractitioner #careerservices #careercoachingtownsville #careerintentions #supportlocaltownsville #townsvillewomeninbusiness

15.01.2022 Our modern lives can feel overwhelming with all we need to get done, but we can only do this for so long before it starts impacting our life and work. Rather than packing our days and running on autopilot, taking a step back and assessing what is most important and realistic is essential for flourishing in your life! This allows you to be more conscious and present in what you’re doing and gives you more time to do things that matter to you. ... #lessismore #flourishing #slowliving #consciousdecisions #alifeofintention #prioritsing #careercoaching #careerdevelopment #careerintentions

14.01.2022 "Australia Post is hiring more than 4000 workers. This is the biggest recruitment drive in its 210-year history."

13.01.2022 Today marks 1 year of being in business! What a ride full of learnings, growth, early mornings/long nights, scary out of comfort zone moments, fun, and much more! #wouldntchangeathing What inspired me to become a career practitioner?... I had two encounters with career coaches before taking the leap. I went to see university career practitioners when I was undecided in where I was in my studies/career path. Each time I met with them I walked out thinking this is the job I want to do!. But like most career stories, I didn’t decide on becoming a career practitioner until I tried and tested a few different jobs and took a few different turns to finally find my way back to my original spark/interest #nonlinearcareers I am so grateful for all of my experiences as this has provided insights, knowledge and understanding of different careers and the career change process. Additionally, my formal qualifications incorporate career development theories and foundations for thriving in your work-life. I feel truly grateful I get to do what I do, and each and every one of my client’s have blown me away with their dedication, drive and proactivity! #bestjobever To all of my supporters thank you, thank you! It really does make the difference when putting yourself out there and taking the leap! I can’t wait to see what the next year brings and as always I’m up for the adventure! Happy 12 months and here’s to many more! #bringonthebubbles #oneyearbusinessanniversary #celebrations #gratitude #learnings #lovemyjob #careerdevelopment #thriving #careercoaching #careerintentions

09.01.2022 Fantastic post by the amazing Ashe from Medical Career Planning! Proactive career planning for the win

08.01.2022 Some fantastic tips and advice on overwhelming task lists! These little things can make a huge difference by: prioritising what matters the most... changing your relationship with them focusing on one task at a time I love the way the author calls them "Today's Joy List" too :D https://zenhabits.net/adventurous/

08.01.2022 I agree flexible work hours and the 4 day work week doesn't suit all industries and roles... but the research is there, for those that can, offering flexible options is a great strategy to boost employee wellbeing, productivity and organisational success! "employers can think about innovative ways to re-imagine how we work. That might be embracing non-traditional work hours or thinking about leave differently, for example. Each industry will have its own solution, but what’s most important is that HR professionals and leaders start having these conversations now because it’s at a point where we have no time to waste." https://www.hrmonline.com.au//how-many-hours-we-should-w/

07.01.2022 Resting keeps up the momentum, keeps you on track and avoids burn out! Do what you've gotta do!

06.01.2022 Values are so important in your career decisions and career development! "people are happier when their value system aligns with their job. In fact, job satisfaction is determined more by how your values align with your work environment than by any other factor. Therefore, it is important to analyze your work values to clarify where your priorities lie."

06.01.2022 Happy 8 years my beautiful man! What an amazing day exploring magnificent Kuranda with our little ones and creating lasting memories Thanks for all you do and all you are!

05.01.2022 Kia Ora from our new home town in Aotearoa! Today I had a swim in this beautiful, fresh and invigorating ocean! Was just what I needed after a very busy week of job, house and life organising! Really helped me to reset and refocus What do you do to fill your cup, and how do you reset and refocus?... #reset #refocus #beautifulaotearoa #careercoaching #careerintentions

05.01.2022 Intentional steps in the right direction will take you a long way! Remind yourself why you started and your purpose when facing obstacles. Focus on the next step in front of you, lean into the experience, trust the process and make your own path! ... #careercoaching #careerclarity #purpose #direction #careerdevelopment #careerchange #fulfillment #alignment #careerintentions #supportlocaltownsville

04.01.2022 Wanting to know more about jobs of the future? Check out this awesome site which highlights 100 future jobs based on research and you can take your own "find your job of the future test"! Very cool and interesting information! https://100jobsofthefuture.com/

01.01.2022 Be mindful of "should" language that is thrown your way! Often people have good intentions to share what they think is right for you, but know you have many options and "should" language minimises the chance to tap into your inner wisdom, purpose and drive! "You could..." is more empowering and gives the chance for various choices and opportunities in your life and work.... Empowering you to make your own choices in alignment!
