Why Happiness at Work is Serious Business
Feeling good and doing great at work doesn’t have to be a pipe dream.
Science has shown that those businesses and organisations that seek to provide more meaningful and positive experiences for their employees, are rewarded by greater loyalty and trust, longer tenure and bigger profits.
If you’re happy in your work, it’s something you look forward to, you enjoy greater work and life satisfaction.
Not only that you stay healthier, enjoy greater wellbeing and longevity (!) and feel respected, appreciated and working on purpose.
To Make Your Day, Dial Up Your Social Connections
We are social creatures hardwired to connect.
Yet loneliness is known to affect one in four adult Australians.
Loneliness kills because of the devastating impact it has on your physical and mental wellbeing.
Nurturing your social connections has never been more important, so having a plan to make this happen is essential.
Have you lost your appetite for elephant?
It’s no secret. Our health system is beyond sick and has been ailing for some time.
It’s just that when an issue seems too big to change for the better, our natural inclination is to avoid making any decision to act and to hope someone else might clean up this mess.
The reality is, it’s up to all of us.
And we can.
You can.
By regaining your appetite for elephant and committing to the necessary changes, one bite at a time.

What Qualifications Do You Need to Be Human?
It’s no secret.
Many people in our community are currently struggling with a massive amount of stress, distress, and mental health challenges.
Witnessing this can be distressing too, and while you may want to help, sometimes you hold back through fear of doing or saying the wrong thing.
You worry that you’re not qualified.
Nothing could be further from the truth because the only qualification needed is your kindness and compassion.
Workplace Health and Wellbeing: To Make it Work, Make it Social
Workplace health and wellbeing is good for people and good for business when undertaken in a sustainable and holistic way that recognises that a generic one-size fits all, won’t cover everyone and that everybody needs to have their voice heard, so they can contribute to the greater good of all.
Practising the art of kindness, being inclusive, seeking connection and showing empathy provide the foundation to creating a workplace founded on looking out for and caring for each other.
It’s the small things we do each day that often make the biggest difference.
