How do you work in a business with your significant other?
What strategies do you need to have to keep going and thrive, even in the face of adversity when you live and work together?
These questions are not unfamiliar to anyone in a lead role in business or an organisation. When you are work and life partners, things can get a bit tricky so who better than Suzette Bailey and Craig Thomler to share their 'THRIVING' in life and work partnership in this episode.
Listen in as we talk about balancing what you can change, control and utilise to your benefit so that you can collaborate and thrive in life and work when under change and uncertainty. Living and working in an 'industrial revolution' like the current time doesn't have to be filled with fear. AI is enabling us to embrace
opportunities change is bringing us so coming together in diversity to solve problems and challenges differently means looking outside the box!
Take a moment to ponder these quotes from Suzette and Craig:
'Adversity is the best teacher, it is simply a matter of whether we learn in our
youth or in our old age....The biggest challenges happen when you are achieving success...When you rise above a challenge, you turn a perceived liability into an asset.

Choosing to Smile
Wednesday Jul 28, 2021
Wednesday Jul 28, 2021
You will be "stoked' with this 'thriving' conversation with my guest Cheree Stokes.
Cheree shares her life's journey to date as a 'too white not black enough' aboriginal woman who decided she had a choice to smile everyday regardless of what happens in day to day life.
Listen in as Cheree gives us a gift of inspiration and courage to ponder - her family background, growing up with abuse, raising her own four children, realising her artistic creations could be a sustainable business. Cheree takes us on a 'road trip' where she illustrates that we are responsible for our own feelings and we can change our thinking habits and patterns.
'I refuse to let other people win' is a mantra Cheree lives by along with three daily intentions:
1. Absolute trust and belief in the universe and her ancestors,
2. Being open to lessons or opportunities as a blessing, and
3. Gratitude - feeling blest for the life she has.
I hope you enjoy Cheree's story of thriving to date - her journey hasn't finished by a long shot! check out Cheree's work https://www.originalartbycheree.com/about-me.
I would love a little love as well - share and review this episode with family, friends and colleagues. You are precious and your #thrivingmatters.

Action Stations. READY- AIM- FIRE!
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Jenn Donovon's manta is 'READY, FIRE, AIM' not the other way around because Jenn believes that the world doesn’t need another person “aiming” to do something – the world needs action takers.
So, grab you drink of choice or your walking shoes and join us as we talk 'thriving' in the entrepreneurial space during not only a global pandemic, but also after experiencing Australian drought, floods, mammoth bushfires and a mouse plague! Welcome to being agile for a community filled with purpose, service and support.
Listen in to a few business gems as Jenn encourages us to 'just adjust our aim as we go along'. It’s never going to be perfect – but until the market tells you they want to buy your product or services, it’s just guesswork. So, put it out there and test, measure and adjust until the market says “yes”!'
Jenn's word of the year for 2021 is 'impact' and we share in her reflections on making an impact as a rural business woman who has bought together a massive online community to support, listen to and mentor each other and thrive in their worklife. Finding your people is crucial to business success.
Jenn has an infectious energy that even goes to nursing the 'poddy lambs' in her home as its winter and too cold for them in the paddocks! Can't you tell I've a smile on my face when she shared this little bit of country life.

Change up Your Future
Tuesday Jun 08, 2021
Tuesday Jun 08, 2021
Jerome Lamarque is all about MOJO and believes its the the choices we make, not chance, that determines our destination.
Jerome helps Dads in Business get the equilibrium right between home life and business success- something he didn't have as a young man himself.
The last 15 years has been the most fantastic roller coaster educational ride for Jerome, his journey from student to business coach in the science behind goal setting and achieving has taught him so much that he now works with Dad's in their 'masculine energy' to change up their future.
Listen on as we delve into how Jerome brings together today's men in a supportive community that honours respectful masculine energy for strong relationships. We talk about keeping your goals simple, with intent and mission, to create the ecosystem of 'grown-up behaviours' for nurturing thriving relationships in life and work.
This quote by Elbert Hubbard, a philosopher and writer, sums it up nicely:
“Many people fail in life, not for the lack of abilities, brain or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal.”
