The only definition of a leader, is someone who has followers
In creating HR Club Sydney, I’ve been very fortunate to be able to meet a number of very amazing and passionate individuals. I also regularly get invited to events that are happening in Sydney, and am free to write my thoughts on these topics. After all, I don’t make any money from HR Club Sydney, [...]
Guest Post from JoelyRighteous- a view from within the business
Today we have a guest post from JoelyRighteous (my better half) who works in the media industry. If nothing else, this post shows he has been listening to all the HR crap I talk about when I get home. Alternatively, it does also illustrate again that people are just not going to hang around and [...]

HR Summit: Lessons from Carnival Australia
Last week I attended the HR Summit which with the public holiday made it an extraordinarily short week for me being in a new role. In any case, I did want to share a few gems with everyone who perhaps couldn’t attend. The HR Summit claims to be Australasia’s leading event for the HR industry. [...]

Challenges in Global Talent Management
The other day I went to my second North Ryde HR Network (NRHRN) breakfast seminar, which was on Talent Management. In 2008 at the very first NRHRN event, Ronan Carolan, HR Director with Sanofi Aventis spoke about their Talent Management strategy that they had adopted in order to address performance, engagement and succession planning issues [...]
Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em
You know I’m a romantic. I like sending gifts, surprising people and seeing others happy. Over the last 10 years boys have sent me flowers, moet and surprised me with gifts. My better half these days doesn’t believe in Valentines Day, although I suppose that’s ok given my birthday falls on February 15th. But every [...]
Developing Your HR Project Management Skills
Last Friday I attended my first North Ryde HR Network seminar at the Stamford Hotel. They had organised for David Byrum and Chris Geraghty from Kepner-Tregoe to present to HR professionals on their approach to project management, and this was something I haven’t learned a lot about, so I was keen to hear what they [...]
