    Often people make New Year’s resolutions that are not kept. I know that’s not you, but I wonder if other people (!) write down what they think they should do instead of those things that are really in their heart to do?

    I love the fact that January is a time of holidays and hopefully rest and reflection. Even for those who don’t take a long break, sometimes the pace of work and life is a little slower so there is time to think. Can I suggest that we all determine to use this time well?

    How well do you know yourself and what you really value in life? When did you last sit down and describe you...

  • Doing Christmas Better

    Posted in News on Dec 07, 2012

    Christmas is almost upon us. Do you quake with anxiety at the thought of it or celebrate the season that’s meant to be joyful. Could you do life better this Christmas? Have you worked out what is really important to you and to those you love during this season? Maybe you need time to discuss it and make a plan.

    Do you realize that Christmas is about expressing and receiving love? The birth of a saviour is love personified! Love is more than a feeling. It is commitment in action. You may not feel loveable, loving or loved, but you can change this. Start by having an attitude of gratitude for wh...

    As I write I am in the air flying to America. I have the privilege of delivering a keynote presentation on Leadership at a large conference in Boise, Idaho. I get excited at the prospect of sowing what I have and what I know into the lives of others. I also get excited at who I get to meet. There are seven speakers at this conference. Some you might know include Rudy Giuliani (Mayor of New York when the Towers came down), Sarah Palin (former Vice Presidential candidate) and Stephen Forbes (Chairman and Editor-in Chief of Forbes Media), and I get to meet them and learn from them.

    Why me? I thin...

    Posted in News on Sep 14, 2012

    It is so good to connect with you at last. Recently I have been really busy, and all of us have had to learn to live with challenges that we have not faced before. Some of you have waited a long time to connect. I apologise for that and commit to providing great ideas and tools to help you thrive, on a regular basis.

    I really felt the need to put aside some time at the start of this year to clear my head and get some clarity around my direction for this new season of my life. One of my “big rocks” is to help you make smart choices which will take you to a better place. One outcome of my quiet ...

  • Motivational Keynote Speaker Wins Award

    Posted in Motivational on Mar 10, 2010

    The “Speakers’ Hall of Fame” wasn’t a familiar achievement in this country until one of our own Aussies was inducted into it in the USA, July 2001. How does an Australian mum end up in the professional Speakers’ Hall of Fame for her motivational keynote presentations? The award surprised Lisa McInnes-Smith as much as anybody. Who would have dreamt that an Australian motivational keynote speaker would be selected for a Hall of Fame half way around the world?

    It seems that thousands of speakers have been nominated for this award over the past eighty years but only a couple of hundred have receiv...
