Dear MJ, I am writing to you from 24 years in the future. You are now 49, and while you have had an amazing adventure there is some advice I would share. The purpose of school is to teach you resilience. Your father was right; you are no good till you are 30. At 29 you will be diagnosed with a life-changing illness. Don't panic, for although it will shape you, it will not define you.
Recently, I wrote an article for Carma's blog about Social Media about the challenges small businesses can face in getting started on Social Media, and some things that she has helped me to realise about my own Digital Marketing.

Scope Vision....Serious about safety!
Love him or hate him, he’s a case study unto himself! Guest blogger Theo Winters looks at The Donald from the vantage point of DISC. Is it his high D traits that make him so ‘interesting’ or is it his level of emotional intelligence (EI) that creates havoc for him? An interesting article on pairing EI and DISC traits when interpreting behavioural styles.
I recently spent time with Tim Osborne the State Manager for the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group [ALH] in Western Australia. Hearing Tim's thoughts on leadership and how he champions the operations of 29 leading West Australian hospitality and entertainment venues was truly inspirational! I hope you enjoy reading Tim's insights on how to grow a business through growing people as much as I enjoyed the interview!

This article has been superseded. I wrote this in February 2016 and rewrote it properly in August 2017 — then revised that version again in August 2026, because tip nine told you to shrug off a bullying claim and that advice was wrong. The current article lives here: Why do we tolerate porcupines in the workplace? Same porcupines. Better advice.
