Dustie’s blog: 15th April 2026 Over the coming weeks, I will explore why people do what they do, to help you become more conscious about your own decisions and those made by others. Why?

Comparison Doesn’t Create Calmness or Clarity
Dustie’s blog: 14th April 2026 If you’re a high-performing woman, comparison often wears a smart suit. It shows up as “standards,” “ambition,” and “keeping yourself sharp.” But when you look closely, comparison rarely creates improvement. It creates noise. And noise is the enemy of calm. Comparison is your brain trying to answer a question it…
The quality of our questions shapes the quality of our lives.
Dustie’s blog: 13th April 2026 In coaching—and in leadership more broadly—it’s easy to fall into the habit of offering answers. Solutions feel efficient. Helpful. Reassuring. But real change rarely comes from being told what to do. It comes from being asked the right question. Because a well-placed question doesn’t direct someone… it invites them to…
What You Choose Today, Doesn’t Have To Be Forever.
I connect with today’s post so much more than you know. That’s why I wrote it. The fear attached to your “next thing” can be paralysing. The inner chatter that says; “What if it’s the wrong thing?” “What if nobody wants me?” “What if I don’t enjoy it–what then? I get it. But one thing…
Days When We’d Rather Hide.
March 25th, 2026. We’ve all been there. Too tired, lost or confused to show our face; online or in person. We’d rather hide on the sofa, make-up free, and hair tied up. Than to face a day of networking and repeated exposure the pained question, “What will you do next?” When we’re in a phase…
The Secret of Living… is Giving.
There’s a line that has stayed with me for years, taught by two of my greatest teachers, Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor: The secret of living… is giving. And yet, so much of what I see online—particularly around the Law of Attraction—has become distorted. People aren’t really interested in understanding how the laws of the universe work. They’re…
WHEN YOU FEEL UNDERVALUED, DO THIS INSTEAD.
WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO EXPAND AND PEOPLE CAN’T SEE YOUR VALUE. There’s a moment in every woman’s career when she feels unseen.Unappreciated.Possibly even used.It’s a bitter pill when you know how much you’ve poured in—and no one seems to notice. I recently reminded a coaching client of something I believe to my core:When that moment…
Imperfection as a Form of Management.
Why Embracing Imperfection Might Be the Strongest Leadership Move You Make. Over the past few months, I’ve been exposed to two very different managers. Both have been guiding me through the ropes of their respective businesses, as I work across two separate projects. One owns a business that’s been running for over 30 years. The…
Did I make the right decision?
Have you ever asked yourself, “Did I make the right decision?” Have you ever doubted the justifications you created to get to where you are? Humans are very good at finding ways to justify what they do, because it gives them a reason to stand close to what they believe. For example: Jacquie had, like…
Meet Your Audience Where They’re At.
Meet Your Audience Where They’re At. In the world of marketing and sales, connecting with your customers on their level and in their language is crucial. The statement, “Meet your audience where they’re at” may irritate grammatical purists, but the concept is essential for effective communication and engagement. What exactly does it mean, to meet…
