Too many rosters
How many timetables, rosters and schedules are you on? That question makes me stop and pause, because (quite concerningly) I don’t actually know the answer.
Public speaking via zoom
I recently presented at my first ‘zoom conference’.
Am I an extra?
When I was a kid, I always thought that if I was in a story; I’d be one of the main characters. Being older, I’ve started to realise that there are a lot of published autobiographies, and I’m not a main character in any of them. So now I’ve started to wonder, am I actually just a background extra? Am I just here to fill out the world?

On grief and galaxy
I think I’ve shared this before, this realisation that one of the silver linings of the pandemic is that it’s provided an impetus for looking inward. Restrictions, working from home, and physical distancing have allowed us to make space for reflection. At least for those of us lucky enough to be able to. In some ways, it’s also made us re-appreciate the treasures we hold within our own State. The Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary is one place in South Australia which I think is very special. There are not very many places in the world where wild and free dolphins live so close to a capital city.Â

I’m pretty sure my sister and I had plenty of fights growing up. With all that bickering, and considering how very different we are, I’m not quite sure how we managed to be such great friends. I’m sure there were lots of moments we wanted to pull each other’s hair - it was just the two of us after all, two siblings, only two years apart. And here we are, now in our mid-thirties during a pandemic, and I get to chop off my sister’s hair! (She asked me to!)

Public speaking and leadership
For me, public speaking and stepping up as a leader is tough. I don't like telling others what to do and I don't like all eyes on me. So, what to do when it is a key part of your job?
