What does it take?

I had an inkling that 2024 would be a year of profound transformation for me, but the revelations I’ve recently encountered have exceeded my expectations.

This year holds exciting opportunities for me, including collaborating with valued clients, delving back into face-to-face workshops, providing Emotional Capital training for RocheMartin, relaunching my Women in Leadership experiences, and pursuing a Diploma in Positive Psychology.

Answering the call to embark on personal travel adventures, I’m also off to India with two adventurous girlfriends early in the year. It’s a destination I’ve always yearned to explore, and what better way to do it than with a couple of amazing wahine!

Recent news, though unexpected, has been a gift. Dealing with persistent back pain led me to a chiropractor who, after X-rays, revealed two fractured vertebrae in my lower spine, causing my vertebrae to slip out of place. Despite the challenges, this revelation also feels transformative. I am exploring how to manage the pain and continue leading a vibrant and healthy life. Its gift is also prompting a reassessment of certain aspects of my life and work.

What excites me about this revelation is the permission it grants me. It took an external force to propel me toward long-standing desires. To alter my work-life dynamic, consider how I do my mahi, and elevate my business with committed individuals.

Yet, why does it often take a major event to spur us into action regarding what we’ve long considered but postponed? Why do we sacrifice our desires when we could, in fact, have it all? What limiting beliefs hinder us from reaching our higher selves? Perhaps you’re holding back on a decision, avoiding a crucial action, or letting independence hinder seeking support. Perhaps also, we need to redefine what success looks like.

I’m invigorated by this news, prompting me to view my world with fresh eyes. Grateful that it’s not life-threatening, I am excited for what lies ahead!

As you step into 2024, what will it take for you to heed your internal calling? If you won’t advocate for yourself, no one else will. So, just start.

And finally a message from Banksy:

Need a speaker?

There are plenty of speakers to choose from. I am not the norm. You won’t be bored to tears by the same ole’ approach and dribble. How about bringing Mary-Anne for the conference or all-staff day.

Give me a stage and I’ll own it. Give me a room and I’ll energise it. Give me your people and I’ll inform and inspire them. 

Need virtual delivery – no sweat! I have facilitated virtual full and half-day workshops, virtual keynote speaking at online conferences, and might I say, you still get the Mary-Anne goodness you deserve!
