All of Aus is a site that enables conversations all Australians can take part in. I encourage all Aussies to get involved and if you don’t have such a site in your country then why not start one! And if you already do please let me know.

The CEO of the Future - Indra Nooyi
On 12th May 2009 PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mrs. Indra Nooyi addressed The Economic Club of Washington. Her topic was The CEO of the Future.
Mrs. Nooyi explores
“performance with purpose”
why companies of the future have to think of what they are for as well as what they do
why companies of the future have to be guided by their obligation to society
thinking long term
understanding the way public and private sectors are coming together
thinking global and acting local
adaptability
bringing “an abundant dose of emotional intelligence to the job”
It is a profound address. I highly recommend it to you. You can download Mrs. Nooyi’s full address here.

Choose a life of contentment
Saw an interesting car bumper sticker the other day “a bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.” Humourous yes, sad yes!
Most of us spend a third of our lives at work. It is a waste of our lives if that time is miserable. For me it comes down to attitude and intent. We can live our lives in “quiet discontent” or travel the contentment road which means being content even in the moments where we don’t feel content!
We have one life to live. And it’s short. Better to live the time we’ve got contented than miserable or negative. A key is to view each aspect of our lives, work, rest, and play, as an opportunity to be all that we are capable of becoming, which Robert Louis Stevenson once said is the only purpose in life.
As Norm Murray says “ "Our greatest gift in life is contentment. Our greatest regret is not experiencing it."

Internet shopping can be convenient and support a cause
Internet shopping can be not just convenient, it can also be a way you make a difference to others.
I came across a great website recently where you can purchase over 4000 products you would normally buy from the shop, online. The great thing about 4 life brands is that 36% of the profit margin goes to a charity you choose.

Kevin Ryan and a better way to sell
My friend and business partner Kevin Ryan CSP has always been ahead of the game in sales, service, communication, pitching, and presentation skills. His latest work TILT™ is simply brilliant. Kevin has been kind enough to make his ebook TILT Sell available to me to pass onto you. You can download it here.
I particularly love the trust scale and the connection wheel in the ebook. If you want to sell the 21st century way you can't go past Kevin's TILT Sell.
