19.01.2022 There should be lots of warm hearts in Sydney this morning! The cold certainly makes you feel alive though.

14.01.2022 My vantage point, reflecting on the week that was.

12.01.2022 When all else fails, I turn to my French BFF

12.01.2022 Opportunities are everywhere. You just need to think outside the box. I was recently faced with having to find myself a new job. A little daunted by the process of competing with 100’s of other candidates vying for the same role via job boards, I decided to take a different approach. I talked to people. Not just any people, but the network of professionals I have developed throughout my career. After half a dozen phone calls and sending a few emails I found myself in a c...offee shop with an MD whom I had met 10mths prior. We had met by chance on the way to work and over the following months found ourselves chatting about our respective careers, kids, life. After two very productive coffee meetings, it was clear we were very much on the same page and she offered me a position to join her team. This was an opportunistic hire. She saw what I could bring to her business and created a role specifically geared towards my skills, experience and interests. I am elated about this opportunity and it paid off taking the approach I did. So if you’re looking for your next gig, don’t play the numbers game. Connect with your network and take charge of your own destiny. See more

10.01.2022 Something very unexpected happened on Monday. I lost my job. It wasn’t a result of anything I did, just a decision by my manager to take her own career down a different path. I’ve been through a gamut of emotions as I’ve loved the past two years. Working for a start-up has taught me a lot. I’ve been exposed to aspects of a business that you don’t necessarily see when you work for larger established companies. I’ve learned what it means to be truely agile and we’ve embraced technology and all it has to offer in this new wold of work. I’m tackling this next chapter with a glass half full attitude and feel an exciting opportunity awaits me. Wish me luck!
