23.01.2022 The lads at United Make design, who helped me with The IX Experience, have put together this amazing book featuring 40 artists from across the globe, 'Keep Calm... and Don't Pandemic'. Great title hey? I collaborated with gorgeous creative @roxmartyn putting in my two-cents worth regarding posture, breathing and connection.

20.01.2022 Apologies for the very sad image. Maybe use the despair at the senselessness of this and the anger and this cowardly 'hunter' to motivate you to sign the petition to stop her and others like her.

16.01.2022 Funny story I thought I would share, especially with my fellow Melbournites
16.01.2022 What would my Mom think of that?" In a race, (see picture), athlete Abel Mutai representing Kenya, was just a few feet from the finish line, but he was confused... with the signage & stopped thinking he had completed the race. The Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez was right behind him & realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't know Spanish didn't understand. Then the Spanish pushed him to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?" Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life". The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win". The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him & replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honour of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?"

13.01.2022 For those in Melbourne, or going to be in town...
13.01.2022 Over the past few days, while quarantined with COVID-19, I spent the time talking to a total of 29 CEO's to unpack their psychology, plans, and current experien...ces. (Ranging between $2.2M - $511M in Gross Revenue.) THE REASON: Well, this is a big portion of the clientele we serve with our custom team and personal performance advisory, and I wanted to check-in on their inner psychology and strategy for our current times. And then use it to reinforce some of the performance principles we use with clients and just make them more aware of the best way to approach uncertainty. However, the data is informative and helpful for others, so I thought I’d share it with people more broadly. THE METHODOLOGY: Interview with the same group of questions (with slight deviations when more details were needed.) Record all calls. (with permission.) Get the calls transcribed. Use TagCrowd.com to analyze word choices used by types of CEO's/Leaders. WHY DO YOU ANALYZE WORD CHOICE? Because in the world of performance, the language of people achieving markedly different results than others is translated in their word choice and language. (Not the only thing, but it's the easiest thing to study, monitor and change.) Bottom line: your words create your reality. After looking at the data and reflecting on the conversations I divided the 29 into 3 Groups: The FEAR-FOCUSED CEO's - this group is the most emotional, most concerned and most overwhelmed. The UN-FOCUSED CEO's - this group is the one still uncertain on what to do, playing wait and see, and most dismissive. The STRATEGY-FOCUSED CEO's - this group is the most focused on taking what it's given and using it and still focused on growth/opportunity. SO, HOW DOES THE DATA BREAKDOWN? I'll start with: The FEAR-FOCUSED CEO Group: - They're currently consuming 5 TIMES more media than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word 'GOVERNMENT' or 'TRUMP' 11 times more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word CORONAVIRUS or COVID-19 7 times more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word 'FEEL', 6 times more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used negative future pacing words, 13 times more than the Strategy-Focused Group. (Words like 'struggle', 'fear', 'hard', or 'difficult'.) (The nuance with analyzing the data in the previous point, is that the context matters. Because the Strategy-Focused CEO also used hard/difficult, but it was in context to taking action and shifting focus. So a +/- frame was added.) THE UN-FOCUSED CEO Group: - They're consuming 3.5 TIMES more media than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word 'PLAN' (or derivatives) in a negative or needs-based way 8 TIMES more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word 'FINDING' in an emotional needs way, 6 TIMES more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They used the word 'HYSTERIA', 3 TIMES more than the Strategy-Focused Group. - They talked about 'VACATION/TIME OFF', 6 TIMES more than the Strategy-Focused Group. THE STRATEGY-FOCUSED CEO Group: - They're 3 TIMES more likely to know about TAIWAN's response to the Coronavirus. (Taiwan has had the fastest, smartest and most measured response. Despite the incredibly close proximity to China, it has a dramatically low number of cases when compared to other nations.) - They're 9 TIMES more likely to be shifting product/service offerings. - They're 4 TIMES more likely to have already made changes to their teams. - They used the word 'ACTION' or 'OPPORTUNITY' derivatives 6 TIMES more than the other groups. - They used the word 'BUY' 8 times more than the other groups. (Context was around possibly buying other businesses, buying more advertising/marketing, buying more talent/hiring.) - They used POSITIVE FUTURE-PACING words, 13 times more than the other groups. - This group was 4 times more likely to have already spoken to other CEO's about plans for growth, sustainability or opportunities. SUMMARY POINTS: No group was immune to currently experiencing a revenue dip. All groups had businesses experiencing a slowdown in the past couple of weeks. Not all, but some. The FEAR-FOCUSED GROUP was the most negative and was watching too much media and occupying time on the blame game. (Who's fault is this?) Which clouded judgment and is preventing them to see what CAN BE DONE. The UN-FOCUSED GROUP had a bit of 'head in the sand' thinking and could've easily been classified as a part of the FEAR-FOCUSED group, but they demonstrated some slightly different traits. Mostly in the way they talked about finding a plan or getting a plan more than the FFC group. The STRATEGY-FOCUSED GROUP leaned WAY more on healthy networks and focused on solutions more and were overall more positive and felt more secure than others. Some of this was because they didn't consume a lot of fear or negativity. ALL of them SAID, they WANTED their business to be healthy, HOWEVER, with time, more conversation and data, their words were expressing a far different psychology hidden underneath. KEY POINT. Oh, one final and interesting point of data: There were THREE CEO's that stood out for their calm, cool and collected thinking and the fact they had also taken the earliest action. What was the common link? They all had daily meditation practices. I hope this was helpful and if you have questions, feel free to ask... after all... I'm quarantined! Ha... and Namaste !
13.01.2022 Mini the Chinese crested cutie pies Big Brother Jeeves. Bit of a scaredy-cat at the start but it’s starting to warm to me. Without my furry friends each day in the park life would be less
12.01.2022 Tribute to Chairman Dan number 2. One way to stand up to oppression, tyranny and lies is with humour... enjoy. This time will pass and karma will have it's say. Not one of us is above this universal law.
11.01.2022 So moving... shows that your (troubled) past need not define your future
11.01.2022 I have given all of my clients the task over the next five weeks until we can meet in person again, to come up with their own lip-sync dance routine to their favourite track. Here is my example. Thanks to @lucindabucatfitness for the inspiration and filming

09.01.2022 History repeats itself. Came across this poem written in 1869, reprinted during 1919 Pandemic. This is Timeless.... It was written in 1869 by Kathleen O’Meara:... And people stayed at home And read books And listened And they rested And did exercises And made art and played And learned new ways of being And stopped and listened More deeply Someone meditated, someone prayed Someone met their shadow And people began to think differently And people healed. And in the absence of people who Lived in ignorant ways Dangerous, meaningless and heartless, The earth also began to heal And when the danger ended and People found themselves They grieved for the dead And made new choices And dreamed of new visions And created new ways of living And completely healed the earth Just as they were healed. Reprinted during Spanish flu Pandemic, 1919 Photo taken during Spanish flu
