New Year, New Era

Happy new year! Yes, we’re already firmly in 2023, but this year I decided to extend my summer holiday as long as possible: for my wellbeing and mental health, and to have a proper refresh and recovery. I don't know about you, but 2022 felt like we overstuffed it?!

Innovating for Success

I had an amazing couple of weeks in Far North Queensland - I got to attend the Tropical Innovation Festival in Cairns, and had some fun with my family for a few days in Port Douglas. The highlight was taking my daughter on the Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk in Mossman Gorge, where we learned about...

The impact of one minute

I recently read an article by an Olympian friend of mine, Toby Jenkins. Toby’s story is about resilience and perseverance; it’s about the big and more importantly, long lasting impact that can come from small gestures, and the importance of paying them forward.

Planting a seed for the future

I’ve recently returned from an inspiring week travelling around regional Queensland, from Charters Towers (where my Grandma was born) to Hughenden, to Cloncurry and Normanton (population 1200ish people, and some big crocs!), and even my hometown of Townsville. I love any opportunity to...

Every step we take

It’s been a while between blogs, but that doesn’t mean life has slowed down… in fact, it’s quite the opposite!
