Master your Mojo!

Master your Mojo!

Do you ever feel like this? Overwhelmed? Flat?

Perhaps where you feel so overwhelmed that the slightest decision (let alone goal setting) seems impossible to make! Where your brain feels so overloaded (chunked up) that it's screaming,“No more! give me a break!”

Stop the rollercoaster, I am ready to get off!

THE YEAR THAT’S BEEN… 

Today marks the one year anniversary (October 7th 2015) when I received that dreaded phone call from my gorgeous neighbour, Brigette, that threw the first real curve ball to our family.

R U OK?

R U OK?

Three simple words. Three simple words that can kickstart a conversation that can change a life.

Today is National R U OK Day, my favourite initiative we have in this country for so many reasons.

Part 2 of the Connection Formula: GIVE MORE!

Part 2 of the Connection Formula: GIVE MORE!

I was recently in Darwin when one of my fab clients, Scott, told a story that I’d love to share.

He explained there was a Contractor who he was having real trouble connecting with. The contractor's performance was pretty crappy so Scott seemed to always be the bearer of bad news, souring the relationship somewhat. He then explained one day, the contractor went over & above & really impressed him. Scott decided to write an email to the boss, providing positive feedback on the contractor’s awesome performance.

The Science of Connection

The Science of Connection

Us humans, we are wired to connect. When we don’t feel like we connect or belong we experience pain! Neuroscientists call this 'Social Pain'. 

The feeling of exclusion, rejection, isolation. What we know from research on the brain is that the same part of our brain that activates when we experience physical pain, lights up, when we experience social pain. Social Pain is Real Pain.
