This blog is a slight deviation from my usual and speaks to a recent personal discovery I have made. The discovery was born from a deep feeling of restlessness that I have been experiencing, something I feel is common to the human experience.

In my last blog I spoke of the importance of building capacity in people to understand the way our world is governed. Recently I was introduced to the concept of new power, a defining moment that has transformed how I have made sense of my relationship with power. In this blog I explore this relationship and how embracing a new concept has transformed my capacity to define and harness my purpose.

Politics, perceptions and the power of people speaks to the importance of building political awareness across the community to enable more people to be involved in social change.

In a world of tight budgets, overwhelming waitlists and workplace stress, reflective practice is a space where Courageous Conversations are a catalyst towards psychologically safe teams. What are the considerations for choosing the best approach for your organisation?

I have been pondering what topic to kick off my new blog journey. I opened my journal up that my wonderful friends at Igniting Change had gifted me and the first blank page I flicked to was opposite a quote from the changemaker Carla Raynes- the founder of Bridge It- a Melbourne based charity supporting 17-21 year olds exiting out of home care. The quote “You can’t get on your feet until you have a stable base” immediately made me think of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (which is a topic in itself) the concept of trust also came to mind and so it is the topic for my first blog.
