Chief Executive Officer, AIM WA | Emeritus Professor | Social Affairs and Workplace Expert |Workplace Trend Spotter|Columnist |Director|LinkedIn Top Voice 2018 | Speaker |Content Creator

I am a former academic turned social trends and workplace specialist, Board director, keynote speaker, newspaper columnist, and most importantly, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute of Management in Western Australia (AIM WA).

My passion is inspiring better workplaces.  I like to ignite discussions around workplace themes and topics, and I use my column in Perth’s The Sunday Times – called “Workplace Matters” – to get conversations started right here on LinkedIn.

I also have an interest in what’s trending in our non-work lives too, so you’ll see that I post pieces on here about various social affairs topics.

And, if you happen to follow what happens in the higher education sector, you might be interested in some of my Business News’ Education pieces which I regularly publish here too.

For me LinkedIn is all about having conversations.  So feel free to follow me, and join the chat.

RESPECT is now part of almost every values statement.

Making it instinctive, consistent and visible is the challenge still before us.

Mother Nature Is the Richest of All of Us

In a world where we often measure wealth in numbers, titles, and quarterly results, it’s easy to forget that the greatest wealth doesn’t sit in a bank account — it surrounds us. Mother Nature remains the richest of all of us, not because she owns anything, but because she creates everything.

Her wealth is expressed in:

- The ecosystems that sustain every industry  
- The resources that fuel our innovation  
- The resilience that inspires our own adaptability  
- The beauty that reminds us what balance looks like  

When we recognize nature as the ultimate source of abundance, we shift from extraction to stewardship. We stop treating sustainability as a corporate checkbox and start seeing it as a strategic advantage — and a responsibility.

The leaders and organizations that thrive in the future will be the ones who understand that protecting nature isn’t a cost. It’s an investment in the only system that makes all other systems possible.

Mother Nature doesn’t send invoices, but she does send reminders. The question is whether we’re listening.

It Takes Time to Build Your Empire

We live in a world obsessed with speed—fast results, instant validation, overnight success stories. But the truth is far less glamorous and far more powerful: every meaningful empire is built brick by brick, season by season, through patience, resilience, and relentless consistency.

Growth rarely announces itself.  
Most of the time, it looks like quiet work.  
Early mornings. Late nights.  
Small wins that no one celebrates.  
Failures that no one sees.  
Decisions that stretch you.  
Discipline that shapes you.

The empire you’re building—your career, your business, your personal evolution—won’t appear suddenly. It will emerge slowly, through the accumulation of choices you make when no one is watching.

So don’t rush the process.  
Don’t compare your chapter two to someone else’s chapter twenty.  
Don’t underestimate the power of steady progress.

Greatness isn’t built in a moment. It’s built in momentum.

Keep laying the bricks.  
Keep showing up.  
Your empire is already taking shape—you’re just in the part of the story where the foundation is being poured.

And foundations take time.
