Your Brain at Work

A few months ago now, I was asked to come up and speak at the launch of HR Club Newcastle. As a thank you for doing that I was given a copy of “Your Brain at Work” (thanks Jenny & Olivia!) and on holidays recently I was able to get some quiet time to read [...]

Working with Jake-the-jerk and more lessons from Marshall Goldsmith

I’ve finally gotten around to reading “What got you here won’t get you there” by Marshall Goldsmith that I picked up at the AHRI Convention. Can I say that I loved every moment of it and after seeing him speak, I was reading it and in my head I could totally hear him saying every [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Is 50 hours per week too much?

Although I’ve recently started in a new role about three months ago, I was feeling the other day like I probably needed short break because I realised it was going to be pedal to the metal at least until Christmas when lots of staff take leave in late December and January. I haven’t taken leave [...]

How many hats do you wear and how do you decide which one’s the most important?

If you follow me on twitter you might have noticed that I’ve been doing Dry July. This means that I have had much more time in the day over the weekend so I thought I might spend some time catching up on some reading and one I have been meaning to spend some time on [...]

FOLLOWSHIP- Leaders are nothing without Followers!

2010 Leadership Breakfast Series Proteus is a leadership and management training organisation which holds regular networking breakfasts which also includes a seminar. A lot of their work is around creating great leaders and positive work cultures. I’ve been given 6 free tickets (at a value of $49 per person) to share with HR Club Sydney [...]

Human Resources Staffing Ratios- what’s the norm?

About three months ago I started in a new role, which was quite different to everything that I’ve been used to. I started out as a HR & Training Coordinator in FMCG, I then worked in the Culture & Capability team in a telco, I worked as a learning & development coach for a manufacturer [...]

Cool networking app on iphone

My better half introduced me to a cool new app on the iphone, and I’m interested to see how it will pick up at networking events, conferences etc. Have you ever been out somewhere and for some reason had no business cards on you? Or would you like to remove the hassle of having to [...]
