The painstaking moment I realised I had to stop saying sorry. “When we needlessly apologise, we end up making ourselves small and diminish what we’re trying to express.” – Maja Jovanovic. I was always raised to be a polite girl, and a good girl. Please and thank you’s are important, and I still pride myself to this day on being someone who has exceptional manners. One aspect of my good girl conditioning which hasn’t served me so well however, is the overuse of the word sorry. Sorry is a word which absolutely has a purpose. When you have done something to hurt someone or made a mistake, sorry is a […]

If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” – Nora Roberts If you follow me on social media, you may have seen last week I negotiated my annual credit card fee.

I’ve also been working on developing my negotiating skills, and am actually having a lot of fun with it. In the past, I would have been […]

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new” – Albert Einstein. I’m yet to come across anyone who can confidently say they’ve never made a mistake in the workplace. There are several contributing factors as to why we may make a mistake. Being overloaded, overworked, lack of sleep, lack of attention to detail or simply because you a learning or doing something new. One thing I have learned is that as much as we don’t enjoy making mistakes, it’s how we recover from them that counts. We can’t control what’s already happened, however we can certainly control how we respond or react to it. Here are […]

To 2020, a confident woman who’s taken control of her life and career, running HR for corporations, started her own business and coaching others on how to do the same. Let me clear on one thing – this […]

“You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.” – Gordon B. Hinckley. I’ve always been fascinated by what people are willing to sacrifice, or not sacrifice, in order to get ahead in life. I’ve come across many people who have big dreams and big goals, but don’t necessarily have the stomach to do what it takes. There are certain things which I’m absolutely not willing to sacrifice and those include my health, happiness, peace, family (and a handful of close friends I consider to be family), my values and morals. However, there […]
