Week #1 of in the clubhouse.....
Anyone–even you!–can learn how to harness the power of humour in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
Working professionals have fallen off a humour cliff. In fact, around the time we enter the workforce, the number of times we laugh and smile on an average day statistically starts to plummet. I’ve always been fascinated by the benefits of humour in the workplace, and I must admit I’ve got it wrong at times.
But there’s a place for it, surely? it builds connections with people, creates enjoyable environments and increases productivity.
I’m interested to hear your thoughts…

If Uruguay has a signature wine, then Tannat is it. The French grape thrives in the coastal region of Maldanado. On the nose, there are intense aromas of plums and raspberries, with a hint of spice. It is a full-bodied wine, with ripe tannins complementing the juicy dark fruit and mineral notes. It is a striking and powerful wine. (notes from Momentum Wines).
I only last year tried Tannat for the first time, I was looking for something with a bit of punch and as ever, something a little different. this was SPOT ON. I love the story behind it and the fact it’s a little less well-known. I can’t imagine it’ll be kept quiet for long mind you. The team at Momentum Wines have a brilliant range of lesser-known gems from South America and the whole range from Bodega Garzon is quickly becoming a favourite.

Blackbird is not a story for the faint-hearted.
Jimmy Keene is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison but he cuts a deal with the FBI to befriend a suspected serial killer. Keene has to elicit a confession from Larry Hall to find the bodies of as many as eighteen women.
Gripping from start to finish, I may or may not have finished it within 2 days 🙂
I Boody love Elizabeth Day and don’t care who knows about it. Her conversation style is bordering perfection and always makes her guests feel super comfortable and as a result, they feel safe to talk about & reflect on many of their life failings.
Two of my favourite episodes involve two (very) different people from Australasia.
Bonus episode with All-Black Legend Dan Carter
Dan Carter; Yes an absolute great of the game but not without some very tough times. Dan talked brilliantly about his struggles with injury, the pressure and privilege of being an ABG (All Black Great) and how he relentlessly strove to be the best he can be on and off the pitch.
Also, if you haven’t yet checked out his book ‘‘The Art of winning’’, it’s well worth a read…

Domenica Calarco, Married at First Sight Australia.
Domenica Calarco is one of the most popular contestants of any MAFS series, and a huge advocate for wellbeing and doing the right thing. Domenica was paired with Jack and their relationship wasn’t without its troubles, but the resilience Dom showed in the face of being a young divorcee, being bullied by a fellow contestant and dealing with the fallout in the national press afterwards. Dom comes across as completely authentic, genuine and someone who holds themselves accountable for their actions.
