Let’s take a little detour, shall we? Recently, I spent a week camping on a friend’s farm in Yatte Yattah (yes, that is a real place, and yes, it is as glorious as it sounds). Years ago, these friends transformed their old dairy farm into regenerated rainforest—with towering canopies, damp leaf litter, and the occasional

Dearest readers, It has come to my attention that—much like the juiciest gossip—a shocking amount of data goes missing. Yes, missing! While some gaps are glaringly obvious, like Lady Featherington’s ballgowns (think: entire rows of blank spreadsheet cells), the more insidious kind is silent missing data. The sort that slips by unnoticed, like whispers behind

My Unexpected Instagram Obsession One of my guilty pleasures is watching garbage trucks on Instagram (shout-out to @garbagetruckau and their 48,000 followers—I feel validated!).

So, let’s talk about brains. Specifically, mine. You see, I like to think I’m reasonably smart. I can hold my own in an intense debate about healthcare, data, and the terrifying reality of having too many tabs open in a browser at once. But here’s the thing—my software? Unplexi™? It’s officially outsmarted me. And I

Some things take time. A long time. Sometimes, they take 6,000 miles’ worth of time, give or take a few muddy battlefields and an insurmountable number of blisters. Jim Collins’ Great by Choice talks about the 20-Mile March, a principle of steady, consistent effort over time. The idea is simple: progress isn’t about heroic sprints

Tackling Roadblocks and Kicking Goals with Data Data often gets a bad rap. For some, it’s overwhelming and intimidating—like staring at an endless spreadsheet that seems to make no sense. And they’re not alone! Lurking not so far below the surface of my husband’s fun-loving exterior lies a massive fear of data. In fact, when

Overcoming Roadblocks: Strategy as Your Guide to Change Every meaningful journey begins with an idea—a goal you’re passionate about achieving. But as we all know, the path from idea to accomplishment isn’t always smooth. Roadblocks appear, and they’re not always external. Sometimes, the biggest barriers are internal, sitting squarely within ourselves. This realisation led me
