Workplaces are digitally progressing exponentially with new technologies at their fingertips, but are they transforming as many would like us to believe? The short answer is unfortunately a most definite no. Yet why have we dropped the enterprise evolution ball so badly? If you want your workplace to transform in the new world of the digital evolution, it is simply not enough to adopt new technology in your business. You need to completely overhaul your ways of working rig

The modern workplace has changed forever. We can thank COVID19 for the fast progression to remote working, or can we? Across the globe, there has been a gradual shift to remote working, in a variety of forms, for more than 20 years. Yet it has never really taken off on mass. COVID19 brought us an incredible opportunity to advance remote working into many sectors that had not been considered possible prior. It is interesting to reflect on what we can achieve when under the pre

In life, for the most part, the vast majority of us have decided that suffering is a bad thing, therefore it is to be avoided at all costs. By living this way, it is quite likely that we are all missing out on opportunities to embrace change, learn and grow. This is the dilemma of what I like to call the ‘suffering avoidance trap’. Are you playing the game of avoidance in life? Are you running away from growing, by staying in your comfort zone? If you are, you are likely not

What exists without exists within. Sounds like a riddle right? This might seem like an over-simplistic idea in what appears like a complex world. However, if you stick with me on this one, you might discover the simplicity that is hidden beneath the complexity that we have woven into every corner of life, like a giant cobweb that covers everything. Just like a mask covering your face. So you might be thinking, what is this web I speak of? This web is a combination of our sto

Sometimes we get so caught up in the big acts of bravery depicted in movies, that we forget about the nobility and humility of the small equally important acts of bravery that occur in everyday life. Some days the ultimate act of bravery can be as simple as just getting out of bed to face the day ahead. We all experience these types of experiences some time in our lives. On these days, if you get up, you have achieved success. Bravery looks like so many things when we begin t

Trusting in your own heart to lead you forward is both absolute bravery and the ultimate act of freedom, all rolled into one. The only problem is most of us don't realise it. Think about this. You literally have one hundred billion neurons in your brain that are working exclusively for you, every moment of every day. Learning to trust the self and all that you are, body, mind and soul isn’t a leap of faith. It’s more about an understanding of the absolutely enormous magnitud

The beautiful relationship between a father and daughter is a unique one. Yet it is one that many of us struggle to understand. Fatherhood often comes suddenly and during youthful years when a man may still feel like he is trying to find his way in the world. Men are not alone in this space, as it is something that far too often causes great confusion in the progression of men and women alike. Getting to the bottom of it, to enable better understanding is incredibly import

A healthy dose of positivity goes a long way, particularly in these disruptive times of COVID19. If you are feeling that the world seems to be filled with doom and gloom right now, then maybe you need to consider changing the lens you are looking through. Whilst there is always difficulty in the world, there is also equal prosperity. Great things are happening right alongside things that appear to be terrible. It is all about the lens you look through in life. If you look

We all know that a reward is a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement. Sounds good right! Not always, in fact, the focus on the reward can be incredibly harmful to you individually and downright destructive to humanity. This has culminated in creating a sense of never having enough in a society that is almost completely exterior focused, no matter how frequently the external rewards keep on coming. It is a trap, appearing like a net that has somehow

The word manifestation has turned into a buzzword of the new era. Yet, it would appear that it is seemingly covered by a veil of some kind of magic. Why is this so? When there is clear science to help us to understand how and where we are in control of manifestation constantly. From our state of mind to the actions we undertake, which lay the path that we choose to take us forward in our life. If you consult the dictionary, to manifest simply put means to have something clear

In life, we so often seek tirelessly to be understood by those around us. Yet what if I told you that we may have gotten it backwards all along? To seek understanding firstly of yourself brings greatness into your life. We so forget this vital step in life. By doing this we allow ourselves time to foster our authenticity to rise to the surface. When this happens, we in turn indirectly teach others to understand us by example. It is like a giant mirror. Then and only then w

Unconditional love can so often seem like an impossible feat in our modern society. We seek to be loved rather than to love. So why is it that we have unconsciously placed the condition of being loved, within the construct of the love itself that we give to others? To understand this, think of how you would feel if you told someone you loved them for the first time. Only to have the one you have chosen to love, say thank you in return. How this potentially makes you feel is

Discomfort! A word that makes many of us squirm just at the mere thought. What if I told you I’ve made discomfort my new best friend? Would you think I was mad? Has opportunity knocked on your door, but you missed it because you were scared to see the truth, so you ran from discomfort? The interpretation of truth is a worthwhile concept to consider, which can bring profound revelations to ponder in life. We throw the word around like it means only one thing to everyone. Yet,

I woke to an unusually warm and sunny autumn day in Melbourne, Australia. I was enthusiastically building my new Yoga and Mindfulness business when in one fell swoop, it seemed like life had changed forever. Welcome to COVID19! The most significant disruption I had seen in my lifetime was beginning to unfold across the world. There was no way that we could possibly have realised the toll it was about to take on us all. In Australia, where I live, it seemed to be at first a p

The power of love is astonishingly interpreted on mass in our modern society as a polarity of many things. We can feel hypnotised by it, feel controlled by it like a toxic chemical infiltrating every part of our body. Many are terrified to let go and fall deep into the pool of love, driven by the fears of conditioning and imprints left behind by others. Yet, some of us are swept away by a kind of divine love, finding our way to heights of enlightenment. Why are there so many

Do you procrastinate, or do you surrender to the present moment? This is a question that has come up for me many times in my life. As I began to study yoga many years ago, I looked closely at the topic of surrender. I became somewhat intrigued to discover that in many instances in my life, I was surrendering to present moment awareness, not procrastinating like many people around me liked to point out. Let's be clear though, life is not a battleground, and surrender is not l

There is what would seem in our modern society a significant problem with undervaluing our worth. We seem to find it easy to value those we love and our possessions, yet for some reason, we regularly sink into a big black hole when it comes to the value we place on ourselves. Why is this so? For you, is it that you were taught in life to put everyone else first? Do you struggle to project your value in your workplace? Or do you struggle to project your value appropriately in

Are you like many of us in modern society, dancing with the inner critic in your life? You know, that voice in your head, that tells you that you are an idiot for the mistake you just made, or telling you to give up before you've even begun. Well, if this is sounding somewhat familiar, be assured you are in good company. You see, criticism is merely judgment masquerading in another outfit. Judgement, through generations of conditioning, has become the socially acceptable nor

The concept of retirement is so often just like the rest of our lives, filled with the overwhelming social and cultural conditioning of fear. We are gripped by the fears of having nothing to do in retirement, and not having enough money to live comfortably. These fears seem to begin early, and as the cost of living continues to rise, so does the fear. When we focus on retirement mindfully, it allows us to be fully present in our present-day life, to create the future retirem

In the dating world, the standard approach to a first date is the desire to make a solid first impression to win your date over. If you are single and dating, ask yourself, is this approach really working for you? A long time ago at a friend's wedding, her father gave us some beautiful advice, which only became apparent to me many years later. He simply said ‘begin as you wish to continue', with no explanation. At the time, I had no idea what he meant. It seemed like a philos
