I'm passionate about
Emotional intelligence, people and how they behave and why.
Meditation, the Feldenkrais Method and staying calm with negative people.
Helping people connect with nature instead of dominating it.

An idea worth spreading
Leading involves doing things differently. We will only help each other and ourselves when we put community rights and needs above individual rights and dislikes.
For example - when planting your garden do you choose the plants that will benefit the whole community, the look and feel of the whole area, and the wildlife who depend upon them, or do you just plant those plants you like?
An associate killed his 200 year old trees because HE doesn't like them. A true leader would have kept them irrespective and planted more for the sake of the community. We all depend on them.

My TED story
I am passionate about helping people understand themselves and each other, helping people to get on well together with mutual respect and tolerance, and helping people be their best.
All my studies have been focused upon different aspects of human behaviour from communication (speech pathology), psychology, adult education, the body (Feldenkrais Method), MBTI (personality types), meditation (the mind), and the emotions (Genos model of Emotional intelligence and MSCEIT).
I was an academic for 10 years at Curtin University and now I bring this broad background to my career as a professional speaker, a coach and workshop facilitator. I love my work!
My life journey is based in a context of gratitude, calm confidence and a deep appreciation of the natural world, of which we are all part.
