Oh! And here’s a fun behind-the-scenes career moment video above :)

  • I’m severely scared of undercooking chicken, to the point of overcooking it.

  • I actually finally, became an author! Introducing to you: The 2-Hour workshop Blueprint: Design Fast. Deliver Strong. Without Stress. I’m amazed at the response, honestly. It’s phenomenal. If you’ve grabbed it, or shared it, thank you! And in my spare time, you can find me personally reaching out to people to submit their reviews on Amazon (yup, I’m that person). Check out the behind the scenes for the book.

  • SuperStore is the most under-rated show on Netflix.

  • I ended up the official series of my first podcast, First Time Facilitator podcast where I interview great facilitators and trainers around the world, and ask them how they do it. One of my bucket list items is to interview Derek Sivers (the inspiration for this page) on a future podcast some day.

  • I can’t deal with the Brisbane winter, even though it doesn’t get that cold.

  • My love for podcasting is now being brought into some of the work that I do! I’m working with clients to launch both their public podcasts and private podcasts. I think private podcasting is an incredibly untapped medium to build a team’s culture, in fact I geek out on them so much, that I recorded this episode about private podcasts: Episode 189 No one watches your webinar replays! 7 reasons your program and business needs a private podcast.

  • I love rooftop bars and roofless cars (yes, I know this is corny, but hey, that’s me)

  • My favourite cuisine is Vietnamese food.

  • I have my consulting, facilitation and development business, where I help companies improve their business performance, through their people.. It’s taken me to some incredible places including Mumbai, Paris, Las Vegas, Papua New Guinea, NYC, Singapore, and Hong Kong. I continue to deliver this work online through Zoom (and loving virtual life actually!). My best clients engage me to help out behind the scenes as a trusted advisor role, helping them improve their culture, and connections in their business to drive business performance.

  • My business coach is the Million Dollar Consultant himself, Alan Weiss. I was inducted into the Million Dollar Consulting Hall of Fame in 2022.

  • One day I’d love to see Bruno Mars play live.
