2010′s Most Influential Person Online

Fast Company is looking for 2010′s most influential person online and I was wondering if you might be interested in supporting me. Of course I’m not the most influential person online (probably not even in my own house!) but I thought it might be an interesting project to participate in. There have been a lot [...]

Are we being too PC these days?

As you might already know, my partner works in the media industry and I like to hear about what he does when he comes home just as he listens to me and my HR adventures for that particular day. He’s accompanied me to HR events and I like to go along to some of his [...]

Changing the way things have always been done with a banana

I was watching this video on youtube the other day and it made me think about problem solving at work. For a start, I’ll admit I really really love bananas. I mean- I love them on cereal, in smoothies, on toast with peanut butter, in pancakes- pretty much anywhere. When I got to Thailand I [...]

Top ten effective habits of a highly successful networker

With our very first HR Club Sydney networking event coming up (get tickets here), I thought it was only fitting that I blog about networking because let’s face it- sometimes it isn’t something we do that well in HR.
