What Hugh Jackman Can Teach You About Negotiation

Okay, I admit it: I love The Greatest Showman. Folks are talking about Crazy Rich Asians right now, but my Spotify list is still playing tracks from The Greatest Showman like “Come Alive” and “Rewrite the Stars”.

The Difference Between Pitching And Presenting

(Short post today because I’m travelling again this week) I have to do a lot of pitches in my line of work. In the past, I used to equate pitches with presentations. I’d prepare a huge deck of slides, rehearse the important points until I could confidently rattle them off, and then sit back and

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could travel around the world for six months? I’m talking about visiting 9 countries across 6 regions.

Sooooo – let’s talk about to-do lists. What’s the difference between a good to-do list and a crappy one? Here’s my definition: A CRAPPY to-do list

What The Shawshank Redemption Taught Me About Investing

One of my favourite movies of all time is The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because any movie narrated by Morgan Freeman puts me into a deep, introspective mood. Unrelated note: If I knew Morgan Freeman, I would totally ask him to narrate my life story at
