It’s time for change but how can we embrace a new normal? Right now in Australia bushfires roar throughout the country in what has been noted (by those trusted to note) as the worst bushfire season on record. And it’s only just begun. My region in NSW was one of the first to experience the
How to ensure your hand isn’t left dangling in the wind What does the humble handshake mean these days? Is it a punctuation mark to a well-executed business deal? A sign of mateship? Or just a simple courtesy? It could be any of the above but for people like my dad, by his own description

In my humble opinion there are two distinct ways to live life in the ‘public eye’ (and let’s face it, every single one of us is in the public eye to some degree these days); Smile, suck it up and spruik about the pretty rainbows and unicorns Tell the truth about your life as an
