The Executive Centre’s Post

We’ve got… the experience. Later this year, we will celebrate our 25th anniversary alongside two of the original staff members—Angela Paul and Colin Pascoe—who are still enthusiastically and expertly engaged in every aspect of our operations. Both of these industry icons have experience that predates the launch of Monitor New Zealand, with both working together within the Answer Scan business and boasting over 30 years involvement in the New Zealand monitoring industry. Over that time these two have seen a massive amount of change, but one thing has remained unchanged—consistent customer service is key. Monitor New Zealand is the responsive and diligent business you see today due to the collective experience and knowledge of these two people. As Albert Einstein said: “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience, and you need experience to gain wisdom”.

Taking time off or away from the kids are the 2 biggest reasons people tell us they shy away from personal and professional development. When a boss sends someone to SHE EVOLVES we get thank you emails from the attendee and the boss. When she sends herself to SHE EVOLVES she thanks us (and herself). When a husband sends his wife to SHE EVOLVES we get thank you emails from the attendee and the husband. Everyone agrees, when SHE takes a few days away at SHE EVOLVES everyone benefits. As a former corporate executive I know how hard it is to step away from the hustle, as an entrepreneur I know how difficult it is to prioritise spend when there are so many competing priorities. That’s why I designed She Evolves. For Mums to hit reset. For execs to prevent burnout. For entrepreneurs to grow their network. For everyone to focus on self development and growth. I’m a woman who wears many hats 🎩 🧢 👒 so it’s designed for multifaceted ambitious women who need more. 22-25th August, JOIN ME in Byron Bay and learn strategies for success, meet amazing women who become your besties and support network, hit reset on your well-being and of course have a bit of fun 🤩 while learning from a line up of truly inspiring thought leaders. 💜

As January bids adieu, I'm taking a moment to appreciate the whirlwind of experiences that made the first month of 2024 truly unforgettable! 🚀 UST's Triumphal Stand: Kicking off with a bang, I proudly represented UST at the Top Employer event in Singapore, clinching the overall ranking of being 2nd in APAC and 3rd in North America. It's not just an accolade; it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence. Its our ode to the art of being a Top Employer. 🎂 Global Birthday Blitz: Gratitude overflowed for the worldwide cascade of heartfelt birthday wishes that turned my celebration into an international fiesta. Your warmth propels my journey forward. 🌍 Cultural Odyssey: Strolled through the whispers of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each telling a unique story on the grand canvas of our world. 🍲 Culinary Revelations: Embarked on a gastronomic adventure, with the "snake fruit" stealing the limelight. Who knew taste buds could embark on such wild escapades? ⚔️ Adventurous Fiasco: On a lighter note, attempted to conquer a 17th-century temple in the rain, paying the price with a knee injury. Lesson learned: adventure is a daring companion! 📚 Continuous Learning: Achieved certification in the Motivators assessment framework, unlocking new dimensions of understanding. Knowledge is not just power; it's liberation. 🔥 31 Days of Action: From thrilling ventures to tackling challenges head-on, January was a month marked by continuous action and personal growth. Here's to a year filled with audacious dreams, relentless pursuits, and the unwavering courage to turn them into reality. #SomedayIsToday #experiencesignificance Pic Details : One of my favorite clicks this month - Sunrise at Borobudur Temples

Hello friends, scientists and communicators! Here is a little #mondaymotivation for you all. At CSIRO Publishing I run so many workshops and very frequently hear participants say "my English isn't good enough for academic writing" or "I'm not confident with my English." I have a confession: Despite teaching writing for a living, good spelling and grammar don't come easily to me and I've had to put in the practice. In fact the post I'm sharing comes from someone who was extremely patient with my early academic writing efforts and personally inspires me. Dr Michael Seery shares a mural from their workplace at the Centre for Academic Language and Develop at the University of Bristol: "Academic Language is no one's mother tongue". I would like to add that no one is born a good writer - there are just people that have had more practice at it! I hope this inspires you today to put aside your worries about being a "good writer", sit down and write for 15 minutes and practice writing some words on a page. Come back and edit them later. #academicwriting #scientificwriting #peerreviewed #motivation #writinghabits #science
