“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” – Tony Robbins. 2020 has been one of the most disruptive and challenging years yet. Many of us experienced significant chaos, disruption and uncertainty. Our plans came to an abrupt hold. Businesses closed down. People have lost their jobs and livelihoods. Many individuals experienced isolation, loneliness and adversity. It truly has been a difficult year, and I am yet to meet anyone who is leaving 2020 completely unscathed. At the end of last year, I wrote an article which spoke to my intentions for 2020. I wrote the following: As […]

As the most disruptive, challenging and turbulent year of our lives finally comes to a close, I take time to look back and reflect on the five biggest lessons I’ve learned, whether I was ready for them or not.

You can either write-off the rest of the year and wait for 01 January 2021 to roll around, or you can […]

How I’m getting the most out of the new year. “Make your life a masterpiece. Imagine no limitations on what you can be, have and do.” – Brian Tracy. It’s the start of a new month, new year and new decade! The past year has been full of growth, opportunities, challenges, many highs and many lows.

How I’m getting organised for 2020. “The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” – Stephen Covey. 2019 has been a huge year of personal growth and development for me. I invested in myself in more ways than ever before. I started working with a coach on delivering powerful presentations. Attended numerous business and personal development events.

I stood my ground. And most importantly, I realised the true power that lives […]
