Opportunity Waits For No-one
Hi Optimistic Disturbers Well, it has now been a couple of months since I posted an Optimistic Disturber Blog and this is not because I am lazy, but because I needed to retreat from life in the Leadership Lane, as I am sure you would all understand. After 23 years of running Proteus, commencing as… Continue reading Opportunity Waits For No-one
Focus!
This article was taken from the May 2015 edition of Proteuslife magazine. Over the Christmas break of 2014 I started reading the new book by Goleman entitled ‘Focus’ and although like most of Goleman’s books, parts of it were very hard work, there were also some amazing gems. Being a reflective person, I am always looking for ways… Continue reading Focus!
Just Be Kinder!
Maybe I am naive, but I just can’t get my head around how one person can actively take steps to take the life of another person – it is just not a part of my psyche. The execution of two young Australians in Bali has disturbed me greatly. Not that I agree in any way… Continue reading Just Be Kinder!

Welcome back to 2015 fellow Optimistic Disturbers and welcome to the 30+ new disturbers who have joined us over the break. I did intend to start writing earlier than this, but over the break hackers intruded this site and shut it down. It must be so sad having so little in your life that you… Continue reading Be Kind To Yourself!
Look Ahead!
I walked down the city mall in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago to the sound of Jingle Bells blaring from a department store and my brain was tempted to go one of two paths. 1. Where did this year go? Why are they playing Christmas Carols so early? I am so busy. I haven’t… Continue reading Look Ahead!
Being BRAVE!
Hi Disturbers, I always thought that I was a fairly brave person, except when it came to snakes, spiders and MRI scans, but I have been challenged more than ever of late to not just talk about being brave, but be brave. There is a huge difference! So, if you want to step out and… Continue reading Being BRAVE!
The Leadership Dance
This article was taken from the November edition of Proteuslife magazine. Everyone loves to dance; it’s just that some people can and some people can’t! Although it’s fun watching people who can’t dance, try, it is simply exquisite when you see a person who is trained and has mastered the art of dance, perform. What… Continue reading The Leadership Dance
