The @ausparalympics 4x100m mixed medley relay team might have come from all corners of Australia, all walks of life, having overcome their own individual challenges to compete at #Paris2024, but this time last year, the friendship and camaraderie that bonded them as teammates helped them create history in Paris! 🥇
A beautiful reminder of the power of friendship and community when chasing your dreams 💚💛
What a remarkable and memorable moment for @jesse.aungles, @timhodge284, @em_beecroft, @alexa_leary, @keirastephenss and @callum.simpson.ply

I had so much fun recently speaking with the incredible women and staff of the Manly Warringah Cricket Academy @manlycricket.
At an age when a lot of the players are balancing their love of cricket with study, work and life, it can feel overwhelming! But these athletes asked some insightful questions that got us past surface level conversations and deep diving into what it means to build resilience
We chatted a lot about how resilience isn`t just a buzzword, but something you build daily. It`s in the discipline of showing up, embracing perspective, finding kindness, and recognising that the real magic isn`t found in wins or losses.
The bonds you form with your teammates and the joy of showing up for each other are what build lasting resilience and success. That sense of community is a superpower that stays with you for life 🥰
Thanks so much to @mattwhite_tv and the entire squad for such a great conversation!

What an incredible honour to spend time at Admiralty House with @gg_australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Samantha Mostyn AC.
We had the most amazing chat, connecting over our shared passion for empowering female leaders, both on the field and in the boardroom ✨
It was inspiring to hear how Her Excellency has embraced opportunities as they came - without having a rigid end goal in mind. Her story is a powerful reminder that our careers don`t always follow a straight, predictable line, and there is joy and excitement in that!
Her insights on embracing opportunities and the evolving landscape for women in sport and business are invaluable. I am so grateful for the opportunity and look forward to continuing the conversation 🙏🇦🇺

Feeling anxious before an important conversation, meeting to presentation? You`re not alone!
I’m working with some the @nrl_weststigers senior management team to deliver a series of Master Classes where we explore exactly how to reach your potential when delivering important communications to different audiences and stakeholders.
In our first session, we explored breathing techniques and mantras to feel present in the moment, but the one tip that I’ve found resonates the most with executives is this:
✨ Diaphragmatic breathing 😮💨
Before you start, take a big, deep breath and focus on breathing deep into your stomach, not your chest. Then, exhale slowly - take twice as long as your inhale.
If you can do 3 - 5 of these diaphragmatic breaths, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you!

Watching these two eager @nrl_weststigers fans cheer on the team to an incredible victory last weekend got me thinking…
In my keynote speeches, I talk a lot about resilience, grit, and determination, but as a parent, these concepts can be hard to communicate. Sometimes, the most powerful lessons aren`t in a lecture - they`re in a real-life moment 🥹
That underdog victory was a masterclass in never giving up. Even with the odds stacked against them in the pouring rain, the Tigers showed up with heart, courage, grit, and a fighting spirit 🐯
I love that this game my dad and I have always shared is now teaching my girls these great life lessons. Plus, it`s always a treat to watch our team get the W! 🙌

There are not enough superlatives for what @_noemiefox achieved #OnThisDay exactly one year ago at #Paris2024 🥺🤩🥇
This has to be one of my favourite moments from last year`s #OlympicGames!
