Choose Your Glue




Job or career, people are generally hired on knowledge, skill and experience and fired on behaviors. If you're a sporting fan and a movie buff then you'll "Remember The Titans" classic line "attitude reflects leadership". Also true is that people are attracted to a field of employment because they love what the job offers and generally leave because of people. It should be remember that you spend more time with the people you work for and with than your own family and friends. Leadership is the glue that binds. Use good glue and you're unbreakable as a team, as a business, use bad glue and the team, the business falls apart over time.

Learn to Lead!

With the wind at my back, Happy New Year 2017!

Kia Ora E Hoa(friends), I'm offering my best wishes to you all for a happy, healthy, prosperous and fun filled adventure on your journey through the new year ahead in 2017. Life will continue to present us all with challenges so remember to "breath", "take a step" and always stay connected, somehow, to family and friends.

I've been reminded as I set about redefining my purpose for the future that the greatest show on earth called "Life" has no dress-rehearsal. We are all on stage, the curtain is up, the time to shine is now!

It's my sincerest intention to get back to posting useful information on business operations related topics this year. My time off line has been spent moving to live closer to family on the east coast, experiencing small business operations (warts and all) emerging somewhat battered, bruised, wiser in many cases and even more convinced that with the right frame work, open-mindedness and an appetite to remain vulnerable and hungry for what's possible, every business that's hit the growth ceiling can realise the next level and bring it to fruition.

Thank you for stopping bye, I hope you found my perspective informative enough to consider this a resource now and in the future and come back here again.

May your God bless you all with strength, moral courage and honor for a safe journey.
PS. Always take time out to enjoy a glass of your favourite with those that truly matter.

What Does It Mean To Be An ANZAC


What does ANZAC mean...


Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (pronounced Core), the soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast on 25 April 1915, in World War I. This event was a terrible mistake which resulted in the completely unnecessary deaths of thousands of soldiers. The continuation of the war on the peninsula showed the incredible bravery of the ANZAC troops under the most appalling conditions.

About Me

Started blogging in 2012 because I wanted to be a part of the internet, rather than just read from it. I began writing about time & workload management from my professional career as a trainer and coach in knowledge workers arena and leadership which I learned a lot about during my Army career. Since June 2002 I’ve worked in the coaching, training & development, planning, sales & customer service or security roles as a team member, facilitator, coach, coordinator or manager. Prior to that I was Senior Non-commissioned officer in the N.Z. Army retiring after 22.5 years. The first part of my military career was in the “doing” of being and leading soldiers. The last bit was spent in a variety of training and development roles from instructor to training development officer. For the final 2.5 years of my career I worked on a public facing youth development initiative collaborating with other govt. and private sector entities. Now living in the USA, I work 1 on 1 with busy professionals reshaping how they use their technology and desktop tools combined with best practice process to get stuff done on time with less stress and turn that elusive dream of work/life balance into a reality.
