Are you begging?
I have been observing a beggar across the street from my office window for about 15mins now. He’s a bit of a regular at this particular street corner and with some wondering I am guessing he scoped that place because there is a busy ATM, a large post box and a bookstore window where people […]
Influential people in my life
Grab a bit of paper and a pen and get ready to play. Come on, it’s going to take you 2 minutes. You are in the middle of a circle. A circle of influence. Around you are 6 spokes. At the end of each spoke is another circle. With someone who is a direct influence […]
Poor education
The education system teaches us to work things out for ourselves. It drums into us that we are supposed to work things out for ourselves. Yes that is exhilarating when you ‘get it’ for yourself. Yes there are skills that can be gained by learning it for yourself. But what I don’t agree with is […]
Trust is the highest form of compliment
Trust is the highest form of compliment. But we don’t trust the judgment of just anyone. We are most likely to trust peeps who share our values and beliefs of course. So what values do we live by and which beliefs do we embody that need trust reviewing? It’s been a big theme in my […]

Are we de-skilling ourselves?
My latest ride is something else. The first time I drove it out the driveway it turned the lights and fog thingies on all by itself, it whipped the windscreen wipers on at the first sign of a bit of rain (scaring the begeezus out of me in the process as I was wondering what […]
Relationship perspectives
Did the earth move for you too last week? For those of you not in Victoria, we experienced an earthquake on Tuesday night, in Melbourne! It was sizable for us novice earthquakers (5.3 on the richter scale) & lasted around a minute. But what was of note for me was witnessing how we all really […]
Universally accepted experts
How totally cool – YOU could be listed on a new “premier website of Global Experts” specifically designed for the journalist community to interview world-leading folk on all manner of topics. Which could look like this: Career Doldrums……Want More……Call 1800HeidiH I was thinking, if I was working on that project from day 1 in an […]
I admire the Chinese Government
I was at a meeting earlier this week and we were asked what did we think about the Oz Govm’t – we had 6 seconds to share, and basically those 6 seconds made it very clear on what each individual thought about politics here in Oz. Succinctly. It’s amazing what beliefs come out of your […]
