How open are the doors of your client’s perception to your brand and the services you provide?

Facebook’s Corporate Citizenship
The business pages of the West Australian on Wednesday, 27 October, reported Zuckerberg was riled as a consequence of the bad press received by Facebook due to the documents provided by Frances Haugen to US Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Content Fatigue
It starts with that dry, gritty feeling in our eyes. Blinking does not solve it. In a hypnotic state, our eyes stare at the screen; our minds have the consistency of a wet sponge. Content fatigue!

Time – Structure or Simplify
For all the time saving devices we have, time always seems to remain in short supply. A fault perhaps of our perceptions and expectations, rather than anything to do with time itself.

Gen Z Marketing
Gen Z is the generation who have never been off-line. The younger siblings of millennials, they are young people born after 1997.
Space, Silence and Creativity
Music is built on the harmonies of notes. A statement which, while correct at one level is only half correct because music is also built on the spaces and rests between notes. It is the balance of both silence and harmonies that create music.

The Chronic Complaining Colleague
We all have off days. Days where the sky seems metallic grey rather than vibrant blue and smiles have an edge of irritation. Sometimes, it can be healthy to complain; to vent as it allows us to bring things out into the open where there is a greater chance of them being dealt with constructively, rather than being suppressed and pushed away.
HOW TO PAUSE, CONNECT AND THRIVE WORKING AT HOME
| COBY GREER, FOUNDER OF WORLD OF HUMANS How to Pause, Connect And Thrive Working At Home  What an urgent and critical introduction to 2020! From the devastation of the Australian bushfires to the ongoing catastrophe of the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is like Mother Nature has forced us to stop and have a deep think about how we’ve been behaving. How do you make sense of what is happening on a global scale? As a counsellor and a yoga teacher I have observed a myriad of responses to the global Covid-19 situation ranging from experiencing more time on your hands, a sense of isolation and loneliness, anxiety and irritability, or even a new found freedom and liberation. |
We have been living in a fast-paced, demanding and expectant world, and slowing down can be a rare experience. Some of you may be embracing the opportunity to learn to make do with less, or cherishing your re/connections with loved ones, or perhaps getting your hands dirty and connecting with your gardens and favourite recipes. However, there are some of you who may be feeling quite vulnerable during this time of change and uncertainty, and who may have never experienced a sense of loneliness, separation nor isolation before. This may feel really uncomfortable and perhaps scary for some.
Creating a Safe & Nourishing Home
In these times it is important for you to create a safe and nourishing space where you feel supported and grounded – this may look like:
- Making yourself a nourishing meal
- Having your morning coffee or tea under a tree in your yard
- Finally cosying up on the couch and reading that book you have always wanted, re-connecting with your meditation/yoga practice
- Taking a luxurious scented bath
- Setting boundaries around when you engage in listening to the global news
- Having your favourite essential oil burning whilst you work
- Lighting a candle for the world
Your home is your haven – let’s not blur the lines
Some people feel that their boundaries have been violated by bringing their work into their haven. It’s important that you dedicate only part of your home to work – this could be a spare bedroom, the corner of your living room or your balcony. This separation of workspace and private environment will support your work-life balance and your sense of wellbeing by ensuring that these lines are not blurred.
ROUTINE
Setting yourself a daily routine may be helpful in these unpredictable times – carving out time for work, moving your body, connecting with nature, mapping out pleasure time and connecting with your favourite humans. This may be an opportunity where you may use your imagination, resourcefulness and creativity to meet your needs and perhaps start something new.
PAUSE AND CONNECT
I invite you to pause and connect with yourself and your body throughout your day – perhaps when you wake, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and bedtime – and notice what is happening in your internal landscape, noticing any tension in your body, temperature, any physical sensations and perhaps observing the flow of your breath; then take 5 deep, slow, revitalising breaths and notice your state of being. Giving time to connect with yourself and noticing your physical sensations can be helpful in soothing your nervous system by reducing anxiety and increasing your ability to regulate your emotions.
We are in living history where there is incredible potential to change how we live as a community, how we treat our earth, and how we love ourselves and others.

Conserving your organisations energy
People are increasingly conscious of their energy use and consumption. We are conscious of the need to reduce energy, to conserve and use it more effectively and efficiently. Of course, in this, energy is the electricity, gas, or technology we use to power our homes and our workplaces, so we can maintain our lifestyle and our work.
However, energy is more than just the electricity or power it takes to generate the lighting, air conditioning and IT capability.. There is the human energy that is spent in achieving the mission and vision of the organisation.
