Four qualities that describe me now ... 

Confident. In Control. Focused. High Performer.

Qualities I had lost, they disappeared over time and it took me hitting rock bottom to realise how far I had allowed things to go ...

My confidence was knocked a bit more each time I was left feeling like I h...

I was stuck in my own groundhog day.

The same story repeating itself again and again and again and again ... 

Is it spring yet? Has the weather changed ... is it safe to come out?

Groundhog Day is a popular tradition celebrated in Canada and the United States on February 2. It derives from the Pe...

Writing a book has been one of the most challenging things I have ever tried to do.

I have spent hours putting together the format and designing the layout and the chapters and mapping out the structure of it, it has been tough and rewarding and involved a whole lot of soul searching on my part.

What a treat to spend some time walking Stella together with my boys, time out in this magical place is food for the soul, I find reconnecting with nature incredibly grounding. Much needed after a full on week #qualitytime #familyiseverything

 

Friday can't come quickly enough this week ...

I feel drained, exhausted like I've simply run out of steam ...

I've had a serious sense of humour failure this week ...

Everything seems too much and I just want to run and hide !!

That was my narrative not so long ago ...

I was facing a...

Ever been so blinded by your ambition that you choose to just suck it up because that's how people get ahead? Suck it up and never rock the boat? Never challenge the status quo because you want your performance to reflect positively, always!

Gosh, it has been a long roller coaster ride of a day! Back to back meetings from the minute, I walked in this morning, I feel like I've been fire fighting all day with no respite and what feels like no support, this is wearing!

I've survived on a bag of nuts and coffee, no wonder I'm so wired. The...

I was sitting at my computer thinking about the best way to describe this feeling of too many eggs in one basket and I couldn't help but hum the rhyme of Humpty Dumpty.

'Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty toge...

12 months ago, my body transformation coach told me that the program I was starting was just the beginning. I didn't believe her ... 

Looking at myself in this photo, I feel so proud of my achievements in such a short time. 

It hasn't been easy ...

I've still got work to do ...

I have good days ...

I left the meeting feeling like things were finally going to work! I was excited and motivated to get stuck into this project. I knew it was an important one and I felt honoured that I had been chosen to lead it ...

The entire brief was perfect for me I knew I had the skills to deliver this one and...

Heinie has been incredibly supportive of my career since the beginning, he knew when we met that I was a career woman and he's always cheered me on. 

We've never had traditional roles in our relationship and have enjoyed a 50/50 partnership from the start. We both work full time and equally contrib...

And there it was ... 

Another meeting where I was told my team wasn't performing and still not delivering to the right level. I was getting more and more frustrated by the constant uncalled for criticism and all I wanted to do was offer some 'free advice' ... it was starting to feel like a personal...
