Michael Peterson passed in 2012. He is recognised as one of the greatest surfers, an authentic Australian ‘someone’ who set the bar for Australian surfing in the mid-seventies. His aggressive, no-nonsense style was all his own at a time when Midget Farrelly and Nat Young were dominating. Michael was the son of a doting Jean, growing up…

‘Good timing.’ I uttered as mince pies arrived along with our guest for the morning, Stephen. Stephen is a likeable fellow, he’d been recently made redundant from a local research firm when he called to attend our meeting.

Bob arrived, pulled up a chair and reclined with a cup of what appeared to be hot chocolate … ‘So, what do you say, Bob? I asked.’ ~ “Getting good players is easy. Getting those good players to play together is the hard part.” It’s so true don’t you think? A quote by Casey…

The coffee was cold, cake a memory and as I prepared to leave the office the mobile sprang to life with text: ‘Just sent you an email, come back to me!’ The number was familiar although ‘nothing current.’ Being curious, I did of course proceed as instructed and checked ‘mail’ anyway. Hey Charlie, it’s Jackie…

I was mulling over my schedule. It was 6am and I’d already jumped in the car for the first meeting of the day, a rendezvous with business colleagues and guests. There are times when I do wonder of my intentions. ‘What’s it about?’ I ask myself. It can be tough working from home … I’ve…

Who’s happy? I asked. ‘I just seem to keep heading in circles,’ came the shout from the back of the room. ‘Great’ I said. ‘I don’t feel as if I’m achieving though, I feel I’m doing all the right things, for very little reward.’ ‘Widen the circle perhaps, maybe you’ve become stuck in a corner?’…
