We had a pretty intense morning last Thursday in Melbourne at the Business Chicks brekky. Sir Bob Geldof was our speaker and he crafted his stories with such passion and conviction that anyone who ha...
It’s a funny thing, time. When you have more of it, you get less done. We pulled off a really big coup at Business Chicks last week. We secured Sir Bob Geldof as our next guest speaker in Melbo...
I’ve been quiet on you for a few weeks so apologies that this is the first post in a while. Thanks to all the readers who have been in touch asking me to blog again. I started this blog three y...

I took part in the CEO CookOff last night. It was an initiative of OzHarvest and Qantas, bringing together 30 celebrity chefs and 130 CEOs to raise money and awareness around food security and homele...
I was two things last week: tired and busy. The two states are not a good combo and it made me even more sensitive as to how I communicate with others and get stuff done. In this haze of being tired ...
2012 is going to be a goodie. I’m going to make it that way. Let’s check out what’s already on the plan. We’ve got some exciting events coming up at Business Chicks. First up ...
There’s been no slowing down for me and my team this week. With to do lists lengthening and the time before our break shortening, it’s been a mad race to prioritise and get through as muc...
There’s nothing much more powerful than stepping out of your business and looking at it objectively from afar. What’s working? What’s not? Where are the priorities? What have you ac...
I’ve always been a big fan of taking my teams offsite to do strategic planning. When I had my first company – a recruitment business – I took them to the Whitsundays, Noumea, New Ze...
I went to a fab event last night run by the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network (DWEN). The event was designed to equip attendees with the skills needed to perfect your business pitch, and it ful...
I’ve always been a big believer that beautiful things happen at the place where business endeavours meet social causes. It’s one thing we’re passionate about at Business Chicks and ...
I came up with this post while I was busy procrastinating over writing a feature for Latte (the Business Chicks magazine.) In each issue of Latte I interview a female entrepreneur who’s doing c...
I’ve had a great week this week, starting off with Halloween. My husband dressed our daughter up as a scary princess and covered her face with make-up and used most of my bottle of mousse to ge...
A few weeks ago I was a panelist for the closing event of Small Business September, a NSW Government initiative. The guys either side of me were Jeremy Levitt from ServiceSeeking and the gorgeous Dan...
One of my favourite books in the world is Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek. Have you read it? If not, run out and buy it now. Hang on, no one does that...
Over the weekend I found five minutes to look at my LinkedIn account. There were 84 requests sitting there waiting for me, and I found myself hitting delete over and over again. I’m just amazed...
I love supporting good initiatives and I’ve found one that we can all get involved in. Today is One Dollar Day, a simple and innovative fundraising idea where Australians are asked to give just...
We had such a fab morning on Friday in Brisbane at the Business Chicks brekky. Professor Fiona Wood was the speaker, and as always, she was exceptional. And… I was feeling great as it was the f...
This morning I went to a course run by Sydney Writers’ Centre and my mate Valerie Khoo called How to Write a Business Book. I’m a big fan of Val’s work, not only because she’s...
On Saturday night I had dinner with some of my closest girlfriends, all of whom have had a big impact on me over the past few years. During the meal, Amber leaned in to me and said, “How did Da...
I only hire intrepreneurs. They fit our high-growth, fast paced environment and they’re the only people I like working with. If you’re a ‘I just want a job and a salary and don̵...
We had such a great morning at the Sydney Business Chicks breakfast today. The guest speaker was Hayley Lewis and she was brilliant. She was so well received by the crowd, and you know why? Her likea...
I interviewed Catherine Harris, Chairwoman of Harris Farm Markets last week. We’ll be running that interview in the next edition of the Business Chicks mag, Latte (which incidentally is shaping...
One of the things I love doing most is helping others see that they can achieve whatever they put their minds to. It’s all about mindset and whether you believe you can, or believe you can̵...
We had the best morning yesterday with Dr Lois Frankel when she came and presented to the Sydney Business Chicks community. Dr Frankel wrote the books Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office; Ni...
Very early on in the Business Chicks business I learned the value of interns. Money was tight, time was tighter, and well to be honest – we were learning as we went, so another person in the mi...
One thing I suck at is self-promotion. I watch a lot of people around me propel their businesses forward through being vocal about their achievements, but it’s something I know I have to get be...
I’m really passionate about seeing women step up, ask for what they want, be clear with their communication and not apologise for being in the way. It sounds straightforward, but it’s not...
We’re all still on a high here at Business Chicks from our week last week. Professor Fiona Wood spoke at our Melbourne and Sydney events and she was a knock out. I often have a giggle to myself...
