I wanted to write this post because I feel like LinkedIn is an underutilized platform, particularly for people in my age bracket. Oftentimes I hear people saying that they are going to update their profile because they have just started looking for a new job – and let me say, it really shows when you’reContinue reading “Level up at LinkedIn”

This week I wanted to talk about working remotely and how to survive on Zoom. I’m coming up on 12 months working purely from home and spending 8 hour days on virtual meetings and I’m sure I must have learnt some useful things during that time! I’d also love to hear some tips from otherContinue reading “4 ways to ‘Zoom’ into remote work”

There are some challenges that men just won’t face. I’m sure there are aspects of their work life that are uniquely challenging too, but I want to take a moment to talk about some of my own experiences. I work in the tech industry, an industry which is mostly dominated by men. There are someContinue reading “Are you going on a date?”

Something that women are not particularly good at is self-promotion. I think this issue is particularly prevalent in Australia with ‘tall poppy’ syndrome and people feeling like they can’t talk about their achievements without sounding arrogant. Unfortunately self-promotion is a key part of asking for, and proving why you deserve a promotion. I’m going toContinue reading “I want a promotion – How to prepare”

This is honestly just a love letter to myself. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect. What’s prompted me to write this is that I recently failed at something, and it just highlighted to me how very bad I am at failing. It’s one of those things that are in all theContinue reading “How to fail”

I’m a self confessed worrier. Usually when you worry it’s because you care so much about the outcome. Worrying can be good to make you be very purposeful in your actions, but it can also bridle your success. By constantly worrying, it can forestall you from making decisions and getting ahead. I’m by no meansContinue reading “How to be a warrior not a worrier”

It’s time for everyone’s favourite topic – Goals! Wait! Don’t leave yet. I know that most people don’t love talking about goal-setting. It feels like something that gets repetitively raised with you by all the self-help books and inspiring people you look up to. “This is how I’m so successful”, they say. I’m not goingContinue reading “Goal get it girl”

Since we started this blog, we’ve intentionally not mentioned the big C word. COVID. The reason for that is because we felt like everyone deserved a bit of a break from it. I personally felt that at every socially-distanced Zoom catch up, it was all that was ever talked about. How many cases there wereContinue reading “What I learned in 2020”

This week’s post is from Tess, and is just a timely reminder to take time over the holiday period to relax and reset. Enjoy! Coming from a girl who wants to conquer her world, I have one (okay well more than one) concept I need to do a lot of work on….I need to learnContinue reading “I am terrible… at actually enjoying my life!”

This has honestly been one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received. It came from my Dad. One day when I was 12 years old, I was complaining to him about netball and how my coach kept putting me in the Wing Attack position and never letting me play in goals. He askedContinue reading “You don’t ask, you don’t get”
