25.01.2022 We hear it so often; "don't get caught up in the things that don't matter". However, it isn't always as simple as that...or is it? When disaster strikes, you will quickly discover what is rock and what is sand in your life. When it comes to employment, your career experience is a solid foundation that cannot be taken away from you, keeping you in good stead for future opportunities. Even if you lose your job, you can find another, if you have the right skills. ... This concept applies to many other areas of our lives, outside of our careers. While we can easily become distracted, we should never forget that many things can be taken away from us and do not stand the test of time. What truly matters are those things that will last forever, despite our circumstances. This includes our family and friends, relationships with clients or employers, along with investments including our own personal development. Hold tightly onto these things and always remember to build your life upon rock, not sand that will quickly sink away. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #covid19 #iso #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

25.01.2022 I have worked with hundreds of employees over the years but it never ceases to amaze me just how many times a workplace dispute or grievance can be traced back to a manager, supervisor or peer who doesnt support an employees career progression or advancement. A good friend of mine recently shared that after excelling in his role for 5 years he decided it was time to enquire about the possibility of a future promotion. The response he got was that there was no scope for adva...ncement, his role would never change and if he didnt like it he could resign. Its not a very inspiring outlook is it? Have you ever experienced something similar? What do you think makes a great boss? #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #careergoals

To guide you through this process, we have put together a helpful blog post and infographic, which outlines some of the important things to consider.

24.01.2022 I feel like all of these things could apply both independently or all at once, given the game changing year we have all had! But if you were to just focus on your current employment situation and pick one or two of these statements to describe where you are at, what would it be? For me personally, Id choose its time and follow your dreams. ... #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #employeerights #goldcoastlawyer #mindfulness

23.01.2022 When was the last time you chose to say NO to a person or situation that conflicted with your values, or caused you unnecessary discomfort? Isn’t it true that when the position we are in doesn’t align with our values or beliefs, often we are simply too afraid to speak up or speak out. We end up riding the rollercoaster rather than choosing to get off the ride. Being self-aware and staying true to who we are is critical, especially in the workplace where we can be pulled i...n multiple directions or put in a position that we simply do not feel right about. It’s an all-too-common problem, particularly at work where you may want to prove yourself or show your boss that you’re capable of handling the challenges coming your way. Sometimes we need to take a step back and hit pause for a moment - before deciding if the situation we’re being presented with is something we really want to agree to. There’s a difference between a job and a career - which is important to understand if you choose to leave a toxic environment or confront issues that are becoming a problem. It’s not the end of the road it’s simply a change in direction. Whatever your situation, seeking legal advice is wise and can help you determine the best cause of action moving forward, including whether you have a bullying or discrimination case or reasonable basis to make a workplace complaint. Please reach out to Rubix Legal if you have any questions or concerns about your current situation. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employeerights #employment #career

23.01.2022 This is one of my favourite quotes, because it says so much about bravery in life, including the workplace. When it comes to standing up for ourselves in any situation, it is okay to feel vulnerable or afraid of what might happen. Deciding you are worth more and realising that something isn't right, may mean 'rocking the boat' initially. ... You may be feeling uncertain and wondering "What will my colleague or boss do if I challenge them on an issue?". However, always remember that you shouldn't allow others to treat you improperly and you hold the keys to change. The true definition of "courage" is not to be unafraid, but to instead have strength in spite of our fear. Today may be the day that you make a commitment to yourself, that you won't shy away from challenges. Instead, decide to put yourself first and do what you know is right in your heart. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #lawyerlife #mindfulness

23.01.2022 We recently received an enquiry from an expectant mother about her parental leave rights. We were surprised to hear that she had no knowledge of her right to take UNPAID parental leave. In case there are others who are unsure about how unpaid parental leave works, here are a few quick reminders: Eligible employees (i.e. employees other than casuals who do not work on a regular and systematic basis) who have completed at least 12 months of continuous service, are entitled to p...arental leave. Eligible employees are entitled to unpaid parental leave if they comply with the notice and evidence requirements set out in the Fair Work Act; Eligible employees can take unpaid parental leave of up to 12 months; and Eligible employees can request to extend their unpaid leave for an additional 12 months, provided they comply with the notice and evidence requirements. If you are in a situation where you are being denied the opportunity to take unpaid parental leave, or perhaps you are simply wanting to understand what your rights are for future reference, please get in contact with Rubix Legal: [email protected] / (07) 3726 5002 #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #fairwork

23.01.2022 Celebrating the International Day of Families! Families are certainly extraordinary and are no doubt the building block of society. Flexibility has never been more sought after, with parents juggling work alongside other commitments. Many companies have demonstrated their remote capabilities during the Covid-19 threat. Moving forward, lets continue to be a society that supports working families and build upon the progress we have made.... #internationaldayoffamilies #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #rubixlegal #workingfamilies #covid19australia #covid_19 #fairwork #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer

22.01.2022 Have you ever felt like you really needed to get some legal advice but were too afraid to do so? Don't worry, you are not alone. Reaching out to a lawyer can be scary (especially if you don’t know what or how they charge!) Navigating the complex employment law minefield can be very daunting, so its important that you find an employment lawyer that can help ease the pain. Someone who can empower you and give you the confidence you need to confront and overcome your workplace i...ssue. At Rubix Legal, we're in the business of changing people's lives for the better, by helping employees find their voice in the workplace and move through and beyond their challenging situation. Here's what a recent client shared about their experience with Rubix Legal: "I felt like I had somebody on my side, providing me guidance and relevant advice to best handle the situation". If you would like someone to talk to about your workplace issue, Rubix Legal can provide a non-obligation 20 minute consult.

21.01.2022 Are you pregnant and wondering what your rights are? Or are you being discriminated against in any way, shape or form? Unfortunately I see many cases of employees who are being discriminated against in the workplace. This really is not okay and you shouldn't put up with this type of mistreatment. The law protects employees and provides that you cannot have the terms of your employment changed simply because you are pregnant. You also should not suffer any kind of loss such a...s missing out on a promotion, getting demoted in your position, or being asked to go on leave or return sooner (or later) than you choose to within the requirements of the law. Remember that workplace discrimination is not just limited to pregnancy either - there are other ways that workers are discriminated against. If you are in a situation where you need to better understand your rights, please don't hesitate to reach out to Rubix Legal through the website (link in bio). Here’s a wonderful testimonial from a client who I assisted during her maternity leave. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #fairwork #employeerights #goldcoastlawyer #clientfeedback

17.01.2022 Isnt it amazing just how quickly life can change. Who would have thought that 2020 would start out like this!? Fires, floods, COVID-19. What next? While we may not be able to predict the future, these events do give us pause for thought. Am I living my best life? ... Am I walking out my purpose and making the best of my situation, even if doesnt quite look like what I had planned? While many obstacles may come against us, ultimately we have the ability to choose how we deal with it. Do we sink or swim? Now is the perfect opportunity to check in with ourselves and see how we are tracking. What are some of the positives that can come out of this situation? #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #covid_19 #iso

17.01.2022 Some of the positives in working in ISO times 1) There is no one to regulate your consumption of coffee and snacks; 2) You can wear comfy clothes; and 3) there are no office distractions. ... Our lawyer Nikolina says One of the biggest positives is seeing how employers are embracing work-from-home arrangements. Only a few short months most employers were incredibly resistant towards allowing employees this level of flexibility. It will be interesting to see how many organisations will adapt, evolve and continue to embrace work-from-home arrangements once the chaos of COVID-19 is behind us. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #covid_19 #iso

17.01.2022 "It's not what they take away from you that counts, it's what you do with what you have left" - Hurbert H. Humphrey. When we focus only on what we have lost, we can become pessimistic and disconnected from the current situation. However, when we try to find the positives we can spend less time dwelling on the past and put together a plan for how we can move forward. None of us has it all figured out, but being grateful for our current situation is proven to increase our ove...rall happiness. The difficult periods of life are usually when we have the biggest breakthroughs, however, it can be hard to see that at the time. It doesn't matter how great our loss is, there is always something left that we can utilise in one way or another. That's when we can really appreciate the little things in life that ultimately bring us the most joy. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

17.01.2022 ~*TUESDAY-ITUS REMEDIES*~ How great is this quote! Tuesdays can be tough when things are not going according to plan. You might be feeling unappreciated at work or experiencing a dispute with a work colleague and honestly be contemplating throwing a pot plant at them. A positive attitude may not change the situation, but it is sure to grab the attention of others - particularly in the workplace. Offering a smile or giving a positive reply not only makes you feel better, but ...it often serves to diffuse a situation. Worst case scenario your positive attitude will drive the other person crazy so its a win win right? #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #careerinspiration

15.01.2022 Ever wondered if you should trust your instincts? Here's why you should Inside each and every one of us is an inner voice, a sense of right and wrong. Often, when something doesn't seem right, there is a good chance that it isn't. Whilst it is important to weigh up the pros and cons of decisions in a logical manner, we shouldn't ignore our gut feelings. ... If something is happening with your employment that you think isn't right, it may be worth talking to a legal expert. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #fairwork #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer

15.01.2022 Helping employees find their voice in the workplace is why we absolutely love what we do.

15.01.2022 How are you spending your Christmas Eve? As my family is originally from Europe, we always celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (the real Christmas!) This also means we open presents one day early (winning!) Rubix Legal will be offline from today until 4 January 2021.... Before I sign-off, I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all of my clients and referrers who have trusted me this year to guide them through their legal matters. Many of you have faced some extremely challenging scenarios this year and I take my hat off to you for showing tenacity and bravery in spite of your situation. It has been my absolute privilege to assist so many employees and my hope is that you all go into the New Year with a new found sense of purpose and vision for the future. This year has certainly been unusual to say the least, but one that we'll also remember for those positive moments where we've felt like we're winning even in the midst of our troubles. Enjoy today and don't forget to take some time from the busyness of Christmas to be in the moment and appreciate how blessed we truly are. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #fairwork

14.01.2022 Are you employed as a casual? Do you work regular and systematic hours? Does your work arrangement include a firm commitment to ongoing work? If so, did you know that you may actually be a permanent employee entitled to paid leave entitlements like annual leave? ... You may be entitled to such payments even if you have been paid a casual leave loading and even if your contract of employment says you are a casual employee. Due to some recent Federal Court decisions, many employees engaged on a casual basis are likely to find that they have been underpaid. If youre a casual and youd like to find out whether you are in the same boat as many others, it's time to have your contract and employment circumstances reviewed! At Rubix Legal we offer a complimentary 20 minute consultation where you can ask your burning questions. Well help you assess whether or not you have a claim and provide you with advice on what your options are, including how you can better protect your legal entitlements in the future. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #workrights #fairwork

14.01.2022 Valentine’s Day (or singles awareness day) is here again. Whatever the day means for you, hopefully it gives you a good excuse to indulge in some delicious chocolate (it’s Valentine’s month right?) But in all seriousness, just because our calendars tell us its Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean that we are necessarily 'feeling the love.' As employment lawyers, we are frequently hearing stories about wrongdoing and mistreatment in the workplace. Bullying, harassment and discriminati...on are unfortunately very real and significant problems. If you have experienced any kind of mistreatment which has left you feeling unsafe or miserable in your place of employment, or you think the actions of another may be unlawful, be it from a colleague or your employer or anyone else, this is not okay. If you are in one of these situations, why not let Valentine’s Day be the day you drew a line in the sand and took a stand for yourself. To find out what your rights are and what you can do to rediscover your voice in the workplace, contact Rubix Legal at: [email protected] / (07) 3726 5002

13.01.2022 I’ve always been a strong believer in helping my friends, family, colleagues and clients to achieve success in their lives whatever that might look like for them. Nothing is truly gained from constantly competing with others. Let’s be real, worrying about whether we measure up to someone else’s standard is exhausting! At the end of the day, we are all on our own journeys, whether it be in the business we’re running, in our workplace where we might be trying to get a promoti...on, or any other area of life. So, we might as well help each other out. We should never look at others to determine if we are successful by comparison. What really matters is that we pursue our own version of success, enjoy life and treat people kindly along the way. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #fairwork

13.01.2022 Isn't there an abundance of wisdom in this quote? When we lead with our heart first, we can have peace over our choices, even when we're faced with opposition. The crux of the issue is that critics are everywhere, however, what truly matters most is your own belief that what you are doing matters.... Perhaps it is a new idea that you're proposing to management, or you might be in a position where you need to confront someone about a workplace issue. Regardless of your personal situation, you may notice that when you start to move outside of the 'box', there is someone with an opinion about it. Be sure to take note of these humbling words. Remember that at some point in time, you will be challenged, but you can take comfort in this advice. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

12.01.2022 Are you in need of a wake up call? Settling for less than you deserve due to fear? It is sobering to find out that you didn't receive a promotion, that your biggest client is moving on, or even worse, that your job has been made redundant. Sometimes however, a "kick in the teeth" is exactly what we need to create positive change in our lives. For many of us, when something happens unexpectedly, we are more likely to take action and will actually come out better for it on t...he other side. Re-deciding what is really important to us is vital to leading a happy life, yet it is amazing how long we will go on dissatisfied because we are scared of the unknown. Sometimes, without warning, life will give us the shakeup we need to take action. If this has happened to you recently, it may be unsettling now, but it is the perfect time to decide what matters the most and put your world back into alignment. Also remember that you are never alone throughout the process, reach out to a friend, a colleague, or a professional for support to get through this challenging time. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #fairwork #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #covid-19 #iso

12.01.2022 I recently read this quote and loved its simple yet profound message. While vision is important in any business, what we as individuals really want in a job is availability from our leaders. We want to know and feel that our managers and superiors are available to help where needed and steer us in the right direction. We want assurance that we are not in this journey alone and we are a part of a supportive team that is working towards a common goal. As an Employment Lawyer, I... frequently see how a lack of availability by superiors can lead to workplace conflict. You feel like your managers are unapproachable. Youre afraid to ask questions or knock on their door for help because youre always seen as a disruption to something more important. You feel like any questions you ask are just going to trigger performance management action. And so, you stay quiet and the problem grows. Before you know it, youre hit with a letter of allegations and asked to explain your under-performance, when all along the issue has been a lack of availability and a culture of fear. If you are going through a challenging time at work and starting to get really worried about how the situation might unfold, send me a DM to chat more about some of the proactive steps you can take to help. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer

09.01.2022 Don't panic, if you've been asked to sign a new contract or vary your existing terms of employment, you're not alone. Unfortunately, it has become very common during COVID-19 and in many cases it is unlawful. Please do yourself a favour and before you go ahead and sign anything, make sure you understand its effect, particularly how it impacts your job in the long term. While I encourage employees to work together with their employer to find a workable solution during these ...difficult times, this does not mean that you should forgo your legal rights. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you understand what your options are as well as the consequences of agreeing to the proposed changes. For instance, something we are seeing a lot of at present are demands by employers for employees to sign a new contract of employment permanently reducing their hours of work or permanently reducing their salary. Ask yourself this very important question: Do you really agree to that? #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #covid_19 #iso

09.01.2022 Hello world! Its been a while since we reached out on social media to say hello. We hope everyone is holding up okay, despite these challenging times. Here at Rubix Legal we have been busy helping as many people as we can with the constant changes to employment law. We have certainly seen some very peculiar arrangements being presented to employees, which highlights just how important it is to seek legal advice before agreeing to any change.

08.01.2022 If the plan doesn’t work change the plan. Never the goal. Easier said than done right? Have you ever been in a position where you have spent (what feels like) an entire lifetime dreaming and planning something important, only for your plans to ultimately fail? I think anyone who has really lived and attempted to achieve a sizable goal will know that ‘Plan A’ doesn’t always work out (in fact it seldom does).... The secret is to never give up! If 2020 taught us anything it was the art of ‘pivoting.’ Change your plan, never the goal. Get frustrated for a bit, sure, but don’t give up. Remember why you set the goal in the first place and stick to your guns. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #fairwork

08.01.2022 I think I am being fired because I am pregnant. These 10 little words bring with them a whole host of issues, emotions and challenges. Unfortunately, we hear this a lot at Rubix Legal. Recently we represented a professional employee who was dealing with the repercussions of these 10 little words. ... Rubix Legal were able to resolve this workplace issue in a timely, sensitive and fair manner. It meant that she could get back to being excited about her pregnancy instead of feeling stressed. When asked to comment on her experience, she wrote: "I highly recommend engaging Nikolina Palasrinnes services with any employment concerns.

07.01.2022 TUESDAY-ITUS REMEDIES (by Rubix Legal) Following your passion can be hard when circumstances seem to be working against you. For some, its hard enough trying to identify what your passion actually is let alone how to follow and pursue it. The challenge is not to give up and start following someone else's path. At Rubix Legal we have seen time and time again the dramas that can arise in the workplace when employees either loose their passion or their employers do not properly ...support their passions. The key is to stay true to yourself. If you're feeling lost or unsupported at work, why not reach out for a confidential chat about how we can help get you back on track. You can: email us: [email protected]; phone us: 3726 5002; Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram; or Book a complimentary 20-min appointment on our website: www.rubixlegal.com.au #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #passion #purpose #career

06.01.2022 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! Wherever you are, we hope that you find a moment today to stop and reflect on the significance of International Women's Day. While not a single country can yet claim to have achieved gender equality (and there remains a lot of work to do in this space), it is important to celebrate the wins along the way, however big or small. If there is a woman in your world (which is all of us), today is the perfect opportunity to remind her of her value a...nd worth. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #womensday

06.01.2022 I stumbled across this quote some years ago and absolutely loved it. At the time, I was undergoing a transition in my own career and battling the common fear of what if it doesnt work out. I had dedicated years to climbing the ladder. As a young woman, this meant proving why I deserved a seat at the table in the first place. While I enjoyed the experience and opportunities the role brought, there came a point where I felt like respect was no longer being served. I had ac...hieved all that the role had to offer. I had a spot at the table but there was nowhere else that it could take me. At this point I knew I had more to offer and so the time came to leave the table. Having been through this experience, I understand the roller coaster of emotions and questions that go through your head. Add to the mix any workplace conflict or bullying and harassment and youre bound to end up terrified. Sadly, these fears can force us to stay at the table, even when respect has stopped being served. It can cause us to endure our career rather than thrive in it. If we do not know our worth, then we will never have the courage to make a change. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #employeerights #goldcoastlawyer #mindfulness

06.01.2022 Do you know that feeling unhappy on the odd occasion can actually be good for you! Perhaps your dismay has been caused by little things going wrong. You've spilt coffee on your shirt before a meeting. Forgotten to take your lunch to work. Or are running late due to traffic. Or you could be experiencing challenges in your workplace and are finding it difficult to feel positive. While it may seem counterintuitive, research suggests that when we are experiencing negative emoti...ons, it causes us to analyse our problems and take action. For example, this could mean taking a stand and confronting the issues you are facing by seeking professional advice. Do remember that everyone experiences a mix of good and bad days. It is normal to feel a bit "off" or not your usual self. It doesn't mean that the feelings of unhappiness are going to last, however it may be a sign that you need to take a break or make a change in an area of your life. If you are experiencing anxiety or feelings of depression for an ongoing period, do seek help. There are many organisations that offer free support on their websites, including Beyond Blue and Lifeline. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

05.01.2022 Ever wondered if you are able to do something about the way you're being mistreated in the workplace? Or are confused about what your legal rights are? As an employment lawyer, I have so much respect for my clients who are prepared to take a stand for what they believe. Allowing me to support them to understand their rights so that they can get what they truly deserve in life takes a lot of courage. Here are a couple of testimonials from some of the client's I've had the plea...sure of assisting recently: "I liked that Nikolina was upfront with what I could and could not do. She remained calm and was able to explain what everything meant so that I could understand the legal jargon" - Senior Interior Designer. "Nikolina was lovely to talk to. Very professional and willing to walk through and explain everything in simple terms for a better understanding" - Trade Marks Attorney. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #fairwork #employeerights #goldcoastlawyer #clientfeedback

04.01.2022 It's a New Year and we have even more reason to celebrate! It's our birthday! One year ago today, Rubix Legal was born. It's been an adventurous ride and one that has been so worthwhile, not only because of the fantastic people we get to meet and work with each day, but also because of the positive transformation that we get to witness as they navigate some particularly difficult situations. I'm excited to see what 2021 has in store and look forward to helping more employee...s understand their rights in the workplace. #rubixlegal #employmentlawyer #goldcoastlawyer #employment #fairwork

04.01.2022 Happy New Year to all! Wow it's finally here - 2021 has arrived and for many of us it's a sigh of relief of saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new.

03.01.2022 Can you believe that it is July already? This year seems to be speeding ahead quickly, especially with the disruption caused by the Covid-19 threat. Without realising, it's easy to set our pace to 100km/hr and not stop to take a breath. Things have certainly been that way at Rubix Legal, as we have been supporting many of our clients with their employment issues. I thought that this quote was fitting for many of us, during this unique season. ... It got me thinking that from early on in life, we are taught that happiness comes from success and we must strive to achieve this. Examples may include finding the perfect job, an ideal partner, or buying a dream house or car. While these can be wonderful to pursue, we can lose our joy in the process and miss out on the fullness of life, which is often found in the little things. So today, let's all do ourselves a favour and take some time to embrace being happy. Order your favourite meal, grab a coffee, or simply take in the fresh air. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

02.01.2022 Some wise words from the late Steve Jobs Whatever you may be facing today, whether it be a challenge in the workplace, your business, or a personal issue, it is important to remember that life does not come without problems. While it might not make things easier at the time, it is comforting to know that none of us are alone and that all of the greats have tackled obstacles along the way. ... Today, when you are wondering how you will get through, don't forget these wise words and don't lose faith! #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #fairwork #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer

01.01.2022 Hands up if you are experiencing a challenging season right now? With so much disruption during Covid-19, I don't think there is a single person who hasn't experienced some sort of turmoil in their lives as a result. For most of us, embracing change can be difficult, especially when it is not in our grand scheme of plans, or our world has been altered unexpectedly.... For me personally, I have found that even if the season I am in makes me uncomfortable, there are many reasons to embrace the cooler, more frosty periods of life. Nature's timing is perfect. During winter, many animals hibernate and plants are able to store up the energy they need in order to grow during spring. Polar opposites are essential in life, as they allow us to gain true perspective. Without winter, we couldn't appreciate the warmth or spring and summer, or the anticipation of good things to come. When we begin to understand that everything in life has its purpose, we are able to relax and trust the process. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #covid19 #iso #mindfulness #gratitude #lawyerlife

01.01.2022 Most people would agree, that not every day is going to sail along seamlessly. I think we've all had moments that we wish we could erase from our memories. Life isn't perfect, which is why I believe in taking time to celebrate our accomplishments. Even small "wins" are worthy of our acknowledgement. This quote is a great reminder that whilst we are all going to have difficult days, it's important to embrace the moments that go as we hoped. That we take time to appreciate th...e good times in life. Remembering that even in the midst of what feels like a disaster, we can trust that better times are ahead of us and good moments are to come. #rubixlegal #rubixlegalinsights #rubixlegallife #employmentlawyer #employmentlaw #employeerights #employee #newlaw #goldcoastlawyer #legalservices #lawyer #law #lawfirm #business #lawyerlife #mindfulness
