Your attention is a finite resource.

Protect it like your budget - because distraction is costing you.

Every ping, switch, or “quick scroll” burns time and decision quality.

That’s not just annoying, it’s expensive.

In my upcoming keynote, I’m sharing 3 resets you can do in under 90 seconds to:
✅ Regain clarity
✅ Recover presence
✅ Refocus between back-to-back meetings

No apps.
No guff.

Just real tools that work when your brain is fried.

These aren’t just for stress relief - they’re for performance.

When your mind is calm, your decisions compound.

What’s your go-to move when your brain is foggy or fried?

Drop it in the comments - I’m building a toolkit from this thread!

Calm minds make clear choices.

I’m finalising my keynote Calm Minds, Clear Choices - a session for procurement leaders who make high-stakes decisions daily.

When attention is steady, everything works better: decisions hold up, collaboration feels lighter and outcomes improve.

Over the next two weeks I’ll share snippets from the process - ideas that help teams focus under pressure and lead with clarity.

What helps you steady your focus when work gets noisy?

Thank you Nyree Johnson for the opportunity to chat and for all you do to celebrate our local community. You have such a gift for drawing out people’s stories and making everyone feel at ease.

From her days as a baby nurse to her bold shift from treating conditions to preventing them, Celeste Cleary has always led with heart.

In Episode 15 of Rockhampton with Nyree Johnson, we explore Celeste’s journey from 30 years in nursing to empowering others through health and wellness coaching - Flourishing Wellness. She shares how compassion fatigue, a chance encounter with a keto cookbook, and the realities of regional healthcare sparked a new path. One focused on intentional living, metabolic health, and self-compassion.

This episode is a masterclass in courage, growth, and the power of small steps.

Ever noticed how easy it is to stay busy without really coming up for air?

Sometimes staying busy feels safer than slowing down.

When we pause, even for a few minutes, we see what truly needs our energy (and what doesn’t).

That’s where clarity and connection start to grow again.

Maybe this week’s challenge is simple: take a breather.

A walk.
A quiet cuppa.
A team chat without the agenda.

That’s where the reset begins.
How are you giving yourself or your team a bit of space to breathe this week?

This post by John Sanei hit home for me.

“You can’t climb the right mountain until you climb down the wrong one.”

When I stepped out of intensive care and into health coaching, I had to do exactly that.

I wasn’t exhausted or burned out.

I’d built an identity that no longer fit.

Being a nurse was such a big part of who I was that I couldn’t imagine myself without the title.

And it was impossible to see new possibilities while I stayed in that box.

Climbing down meant letting go of that old identity - and trusting that something new would emerge.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t finding the next mountain.

It’s allowing yourself to leave the one that once defined you.

Here's some inspiration for anyone struggling to see the impact of small incremental steps towards better health. Perspective is everything!

We always think change has to be huge to matter… but science says otherwise.

A study from Johns Hopkins found that even a small amount of weight loss can take real pressure off your knees—protecting your mobility, easing pain, and helping you stay active as you age.

Better health isn’t about intensity. It’s about consistency, momentum, and science-backed habits that your body can sustain.

Small steps work—because they last.

Looking after mental health is part of staying well. Small daily choices, like getting outside, moving your body, or talking to a friend, can make a real difference.

Trust doesn’t usually collapse in one big moment.

It leaks away quietly.

In my work with teams, I see three subtle ways trust erodes before anyone realises it:

🍃 Silence replaces feedback. People stop sharing what’s not working.

🍃 Effort goes unseen. Recognition fades and motivation drops.

🍃 Assumptions grow. Communication gets shorter and empathy thinner.

The good news?

Trust can be rebuilt - one conversation at a time.

And it always starts with awareness.

If you’d like a practical way to rebuild trust in your team, comment “outline” and I’ll share the 1-page starter I share with my clients.

Trust doesn’t start in the workshop room - it starts in the proposal.

When I create a proposal for a team, I go back to their words… their hopes, challenges and goals.

Because trust isn’t built by saying “you can trust me” - it’s built by showing “I’ve heard you.”

This week I designed a wellbeing workshop for a regional team facing change fatigue and every line of that proposal reflects what matters to THEM.

Trust grows every time someone feels seen, safe and understood.

The biggest hidden cost in workplaces?

Not absenteeism… but presenteeism.

That quiet disengagement when people show up, but their energy and commitment don’t.

On the surface, they look busy.

But inside, they’re stretched thin, disconnected and just going through the motions.

Why?

Because boundaries are blurred.
🍃 Too many yeses.
🍃 Unclear priorities.
🍃 Workloads that feel impossible.

This is what I call the trust tax.

When boundaries aren’t clear, trust leaks away - and performance follows.

The fix doesn’t have to be complicated.

Clarity builds trust.

Clear agreements about roles, priorities and capacity give people the safety to re-engage.

Do you notice the trust tax in your workplace?
