THE LISTENING SHED
a fun, engaging workshop equipping men to be good listeners. Find out more.

"It's not that men don't want to talk, it's that no one's listening..." JOIN ME ON THE MENTELL PODCAST

Most men know their mental health depends on talking about their concerns and feelings. But we are unlikely to do it unless someone we trust creates a 'space' we can speak into. Host Ben Jenkins interviews me on what men need to communicate openly and honestly. Listen to the podcast here.

JOIN ME ON ABC RADIO NATIONAL'S 'THIS WORKING LIFE'

Host Lisa Leong interviews me on why men need mentors now more than ever, and how finding a mentor can change your career. Women's mentor Bobbi Mahlab is speaking for the first 12 mins about what women need and I begin after 14 mins. Listen to the podcast here.

Let's be women's champions 23 April, 2021

In this video I share about looking like a complete idiot, totally humiliated. I wished the floor could have swallowed me up. But it wasn't all bad according to my mentor, who says we've got to be willing to be humiliated at least once a day! I learned not to take myself so seriously, and realised all men are afraid of the same thing. So let's loosen up about looking good all the time.

I hope you enjoy it (even though it's at my expense).

Bend not break - How can I be resilient in times like this? 25 Mar 2020

"Make sure you look out for each other, make sure you’re resilient and kind and supportive of each other…”

Great words indeed from our Western Australian Health Minister. But this test of our society has exposed the cracks in my resilience.

Like almost everyone I’ve lost work and had every meeting and conference cancelled, and so my livelihood and ambitions for the future. All my social and exercise groups have been abandoned.

Holding on to my familiar life even as it ebbs away, I wonder what to do with myself. I over-react and get frustrated. I get stupidly busy, yet anxiety saps my effectiveness. And we haven’t even begun a lockdown here in Perth!
