I always liked to be heard, I had an opinion and loved to share it. Speaking in public was something that I was okay with. You have to be if you’re prone to standing on your soap box, I think. I would present and I could perform but when it came to being myself I [...]

There is one person that matters. One person who you should work your whole life to get on your side. Only one, the rest can do what they like. That one person is you.

Today is a bit like when you buy shoes, you’ve tried them on in store, everything seems lovely but you never really, REALLY, know how they are going to go until you wear them out. Is the fit comfortable, do they stay on your feet, is the sole well balanced. You know all that stuff. [...]

I flew into Melbourne for the first time with no plan on what the heck I was doing. I had the name of my accommodation tucked somewhere in my handbag and a vague idea that there was a shuttle or something. I was under-prepared, freaking out and fussing about in the airport I ran into Sheri [...]

Leading on from having a sense of humour, today’s challenge is to play a little game.

We’ve said a lot about faking it. A lot about walk this way, hold your face that way, do this and do that. But maybe for you there is something there that is holding you back. Something that tells you no matter what that you aren’t good enough, that you’re being ridiculous even reading these [...]
