There comes a time in a working woman’s life
When she can no longer sit quietly
Allowing someone else to get all the credit
For her money saving ideas and efficient work.”
The essence of this is the reason that I decided to choose redundancy when my company was merging with another and I was not going to be the CFO.
I could already see signs that the person who was going to be my boss and the CFO knew less than me and was picking my brains.
Thanks to listening to my intuition, I felt that he (yes, a he. Shock shock!!) would be the sort of boss that would take all the glory and no responsibility when things did not go so well.
I’d been there way too many times beforehand.
Too many times, I allowed this to continue.
Too many times, I bit my tongue when I should not have.
One time I even had a former boss ask me to come and work for him again at a new company.
Then when I told him about my minimum salary for doing so, he had the audacity to tell me that I was being greedy and should be grateful that he was reaching out to me.
He had forgotten that I knew how he operated. I knew that he would be earning more than double what I was earning.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Let us know in the comments below.
Then find your worth. When you know what you are worth, your value, you will no longer allow this to happen.
Always remember that when you have a low self-worth, no one will assist you to raise it.
That is always your responsibility.

Most people have no idea how to allow life to get in the way of their work.
Are you one of those people?
For far too long, I was.
Work came first, usually at the expense of my health and my relationships.
Then redundancy came my way and I was standing there looking in the mirror at a person who I did not particularly like.
Thankfully, Ray, a former friend and work colleague popped into my head and I knew that I was going to learn from his chosen pathway.
Ray was a senior manager at a theme park I worked at in the 90’s.
Most ofthe 400+ staff loved Ray and were shocked.......How could they make Ray redundant and keep sother senior managers who were not as good at their jobs?
I continued to stay in contact with Ray.
Unfortunately, Ray did not fare so well after his redundancy.
He was in his mid-50’s when he left and it appears that he may have had a belief that he was never going to find another job like the one he had left.
He struggled.
Even with his amazing wife and adult children around him, supporting him all the way, he was not able to love life as he had done when his was professionally successful.
To make ends meet he started dipping into his investments.
As they declined so did his health.
It appeared that for every step forward, he was dragged back ten.
It was loss after loss for Ray.
Eventually, Ray succumbed to cancer in his early 70’s.
A beautiful man who was taken way too early.
Though even after death, Ray continued to mentor me.
At the time of my redundancy, I thought of Ray and his struggles.
Determined to ensure that they did not become mine.
He had made work his life.
Yes, he had an amazing family and all the financial successes that come with a very successful career
Though he unnecessarily struggled, all because his identity came from his work.
Ray is one of the reasons why I do what I do.
Ray taught me to look for a better way when life throws you a curveball.
To make different choices going forward.
To find my true identity…………….
One that was not wrapped up in what you do for a living.
Are you living in all areas of your life?
Join me as I chat with Kareena and Sophie about Reclaim Her and their “Becoming Me Again Online Summit.
The summit was born out of Sophie and Kareena's desire to ignite women to move from feeling lost, invisible, and stuck to becoming the woman they know in their hearts.
The Becoming Me Again Summit will assist you to step into the most fulfilled and empowered version of yourself. As it provides:
Practical tips on how to reclaim your life
Rich, real, raw conversations with real women
Leading experts in relationships, intimacy, grief, health and wellbeing, business, getting your mojo back and more
What sort of leader are you? Do you know what steps to take to become a better leader?
Most people have never taken the time to sit back and answer these questions. Mainly because that have not realised that the quality of your life (all areas of your life) always comes back to the quality of the questions you ask yourself.
In this Creating a Team-Dynamic Workplace episode, we will be sharing 11 quality questions that will assist you to go from being an AVERAGE leader to a WORLD-CLASS one.
Please join us Thursday the 21st of April 2022 at 10AM AEST.
Your True Essence of Life
Have you noticed that life is constantly throwing your curveballs?
These moments as your GIFTS, that once unwrapped, will enhance your life’s journey. Whilst there is no gift in what has occurred the gift comes through who you become because of what has happened in your life.
You start to look at life differently. You begin to develop new insights and practices. You begin to grow and evolve, in all areas of your life.
Then, you’ll begin to realise that the mind and the soul, have begun to yearn for more.
At the Chaston Centre we know that this awakening leads you to the Essence of Your Life. It’s important to realise that the essence of life is not the same way for everyone as it stems from lifelong, personal experiences and lessons learned.
The essence of life is constant growth, every day, reminding yourself to keep moving, to be open to change, to all possibilities, to keep enquiring and always trying to be better than yesterday you (or Yesterday Me as we like to say).
In fact, some people go through an entire lifetime, missing the gist of it—lost in their daily routine, disoriented in their demanding life and focusing on materialism and competition, living as I used to; “In their ground-hog daze.”
Join use Monday’s at 10am AEST for 30 minutes, as we break down all the myths, the clichés, the beliefs that we have been holding us back from healing for centuries.

For many different reasons, relationships are imperative in our life. For example, increasing our emotional well-being, creating stability, having someone to count on and trust in times of need and someone to talk to when we face challenges.
For some reason, many people struggle with building long-lasting relationships ~ especially in the workplace.
Today’s guest, Alan Stevens, is an International Profiling and Communications Specialist who loves to teach people how to understand themselves and read other people to create better and longer-lasting relationships.
Assisting with:
• increase sales and improve staff and customer loyalty.
• Raising and educating children.
• All personal relationships.
Imagine being able to positively persuade and influence the behaviours and outcomes of everyone around you.
Please join us Thursday 14th of April 2022, 10 am AEST
This conversation is a must for anyone looking for a way to build better long-lasting relationships in all areas of their life.
How engaged are your employees? Are they involved in their work and enthusiastic about the workplace? Or are they uncaring, disruptive and absent?
Do you easily know the answer to this question?
Knowing your employee engagement is important because, based on over 50 years of employee engagement research, Gallup knows that engaged employees produce better business outcomes than other employees -- across industry, company size and nationality.
Both in good and bad economic times!
Gallup’s research has found that only 15% of employees worldwide and 35% in the U.S. fall in the "engaged" category.
Why has the “Engaged” category been so low for so long? Especially when you consider how many “Employee Engagement trainers and consultants” there are worldwide.
These stats suggest that its time to take a new approach, a new way of looking at ways to engage our employees………. And keep them that way.
Enjoy this fun little video. Turn up the volume. It provides three tips on how to start engaging your people.
Reach out when you’re ready to produce better business outcomes.
Loss of any kind is never easy. Though what happens when you have the loss of many things in quick succession?
My special guest, Michelle Dawson found the answer the hard way.
Michelle lost her parents then a little while later, she lost her marriage, financial wellbeing and found herself sleeping on her 21-year-old son’s couch.
She was completely broken and not sure what her next step would be.
Michelle said “I found myself on my knees and didn’t know which way to go. I’d hit the point of no return where I’d completely cracked opened. I knew it was a moment of reckoning and it's at that point that our common friend suggested that I chat with you. Thankfully I listened... yeah!”
Join us Monday 11th April 2022, 10am AEST as Michelle shares her story on how she moved beyond her loss and betrayal.
This is a must for anyone who is grieving or suffering from missing family, losing family, going through a separation or whatever your loss may be.
Motivating staff can be one of the hardest job a leader can do. Though what if there is an easier way? One that ensure that your people, purpose and profits are thriving. Come and join me Thursday at 10am AEST as we deep dive into Building a Teams Dynamic Workplace.
Have you ever felt surely there must be an easier way to motivate your staff?
When I was a C.F.O. of a publicly listed company I was continually seeking ways to make this become a reality. I had this vision of everyone being an engaged stakeholder in ensuring that we had the best possible product, whilst offering the best possible service, whilst building the strongest possible company.
The funny thing is that I had to leave my corporate career and become a Beyond Loss Expert, Speaker and Author, in order to find the solution. One that ensure that your people, purpose and profits are thriving.
The first step in creating a Team-dynamic workplace may be one of the hardest steps you will ever take. I call it The You Factor and it involves you deep diving into you. All of you not just the professional you.
We all play so many roles in a day. Yet sometimes we seem to sleepwalk through some of them. Not really being present and showing up fully for the other relationships that are part of that role.
And then we wonder why things are not going so well in that space
