- [Empowering People to Overcome Crisis](https://helenglanville.com/2022/11/28/empowering-people-to-overcome-crisis/) - Talking with the Experts Vodcast
- [Don't sweat the small stuff](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/10/dont-sweat-the-small-stuff/) - At the end of the day we fuss about nothing. Small, unimportant topics which torment us and cause us to argue, fight and stress? It was only toothpaste, toilet paper, a forgotten errand or a simple misunderstanding. No actually I can’t recall what we were arguing about. In the grand scheme of things we need
- [Don't speak with fork tongue](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/18/dont-speak-with-fork-tongue/) - To speak clearly, to speak with clarity and to speak sincerely, is to be kind. When communications are vague or convoluted, the wrong impressions can be given and the wrong conclusions can be reached. Saying what you mean and meaning what you say, reduces confusion and uncertainty. Answering the question seems to be difficult for
- [Don't jump to premature conclusions](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/19/dont-jump-to-premature-conclusions/) - With little knowledge we often presume our assessment is right. We often don’t check the facts, seek further evidence, get another perspective or even sleep on it. Waiting just one day to recollect thoughts and give our mind the chance to reconsider our view is a wise way forward. Sleep clears the mind. We wake
- [Don't grow complacent](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/19/dont-grow-complacent/) - Complacency leads to inactivity and lifelessness. It’s a slothful type of emotion which drains excitement, dampens vision and robs joy from every ambience it enters. There is no initiative where complacency lives; ideas grow stale and mission becomes stagnant. Just around the corner from complacency is depression followed by the slow death of one’s dreams.
- [Don't speak swiftly](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/19/dont-speak-swiftly/) - Don’t trust your tongue when your heart is bitter. Hush till you heal. Slowing down our thoughts and tongues is imperative because we cannot retract words already spoken. Once the words are released into the atmosphere and audible to others, they can never return. What’s said is said. Concise and few words are impacting. There
- [Don't give up](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/19/dont-give-up/) - Giving up is easy. It can be a short pause or a punctuation mark but either way, putting plans aside can be a sign of desperation, impatience or lack of tenacity. Staying the course requires determination, persistence, stickability, focus and constant eyes on the prize. Achieving completion of what we commence hits a ‘sweet spot’.
- [Don't sell yourself short](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/25/dont-sell-yourself-short/) - We don’t always see how others see us. We are often oblivious to the impression and image we project to the world around us. It’s our own limited thinking which keeps us restricted and bound inside a prison of our own making. Many times we can’t forgive ourselves of the things we are ashamed. It’s
- [Don't take life for granted](https://helenglanville.com/2020/09/29/dont-take-life-for-granted/) - It’s so easy to cruise. So easy to assume our precious family and friends will still be with us tomorrow. Every day is a gift – the present. Every day has moments to remember. Moments we presume will come again. Don’t ever take for granted what you have today, because tomorrow it just might not
- [Don't presume anything](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/03/dont-presume-anything/) - So many mismatches in communication can be traced back to wrong and misinformed presumptions and assumptions. We need to always take a step back, clear the air, check the facts and make sure when we start important communications, we understand the premises of the receiver. If we are the sender of the message, does the
- [Don't despise small things](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/03/dont-despise-small-things/) - Some of the finest and significant things in our lives have been small – at the start. Small steps, small parcels, small gems, small beginnings, a series of small steps and even small cars. It is the small things which can become significant times. moments, memories and foundational steps for a chosen pathway. You can’t
- [So no make-up today](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/04/not-wearing-make-up-today/) - It was Christmas Eve 2019, my local MP John Gardner phoned me early in the morning, asking if I’d drive to Lobethal to meet the Prime Minister Scott Morrison. John couldn’t find any victims of the Cudlee Creek Fires as they’d all left the Hills. It made sense – our homes had been destroyed. When
- [Sudden and Permanent Redirection](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/07/total-sudden-and-permanent-redirection/) - We make plans and we expect those plans to come together. But then one day comes along when the winds change suddenly and ferociously, and your home is decimated by fire in the evening of the fifth day of a summer heat wave, five days before Christmas. This catastrophic event came after 32 years of
- [Steering the Ship](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/08/steering-the-ship/) - We’re steadying the ship, steering a course towards the shore and setting down our anchor until calm returns. We’re taking stock of what we have and focusing on those we seek to serve – this is the talk of leaders navigating their organisation through tough times. We prioritised the wellbeing and morale of staff by
- [Questions Matter](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/10/questions-matter/) - As good practice, lawyers tend to know the answer to a question before they ask it. They are trying to either gain more information or check to see if the person might be putting a ‘spin’ on the facts. The reason questions matter, is they’re also an indicator of our attitude, ignorance, faith or fear.
- [Doing things Differently](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/09/doing-things-differently/) - When tough times come, leaders must implement what is best for the organisation as a whole. Staff and volunteers are our most valuable asset so putting strategies into place such as custom training, to buoy the team coming through unknown challenges, is a priority. This has transformed us into a strong and tightly knit unit.
- [Be like David](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/10/be-like-david/) - Many people have heard the phrase, ‘David and Goliath’ but only understand it as the little guy taking on the big guy, which to the eye in the natural, looks completely impossible. ‘Let’s not bother with that battle‘, they say. Who wants to take on a ‘Goliath’? What happens when we see the ‘impossible’? Do we
- [Who taught you to think?](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/24/who-taught-you-to-think/) - Have you ever wondered, who taught you how to think? Do you challenge the facts? Do you have independent thought? Can you logically think about both sides of an issue without emotional bias? Do you think through all the possible pros and cons before making big decisions? Do you take a pause, a deep breath
- [Critical thinking is critical](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/24/__trashed/) - We’ve been warned to WATCH by Lao Tzu – Watch means to be observant. Watch and Think. He said, “Watch your Thoughts, they become your words; watch your Words, they become your actions; watch your Actions, they become your habits; watch your Habits, they become your character; watch your Habits, they become your character; watch your Character, it becomes your Destiny.” Thinking is important
- [What's your greatest fear?](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/24/whats-your-greatest-fear/) - Did you know the greatest fear of people – is people – some of us are obsessed by what other people think. Some of us are guided only by what other people think, and not what they really want to do. Being afraid of people and what they think, is a real and certain danger
- [Getting Ready to Soar](https://helenglanville.com/2020/10/24/getting-ready-to-soar/) - Do you really want to soar? You can’t take off to your destination successfully, when you’re burdened with excess baggage. You need to identify, eliminate and conquer; your fears, your loss and grief, your uncontrolled emotions like anger and jealousy, and your dead wood of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness, because these things have no life
- [Catapulted Out](https://helenglanville.com/2021/01/02/catapulted-out/) - Don’t know about you but I’ve been catapulted out of a State, a job and a Church through no fault, event or wrong doing on my part. It took a while to work it out but my lived experience has taught me to know that when you’re ‘chucked’ out the reason can be the most
- [We are more than enough](https://helenglanville.com/2021/03/28/we-are-more-than-enough/) - Growing up, I struggled with knowing who I really was. It was mostly a negative narrative in my head and in most situations I was bluffing underneath. I appeared confident on the outside but that was just show. I felt like I was either not enough for the boys, and I definitely wasn’t girly enough
- [Going Through](https://helenglanville.com/2021/04/23/going-through/) - We are all going through something; an event, a season, a challenge, fear, ageing or simply life which for many just happens to us. What is our response to the tests of life? Things we never planned or expected would happen to us? My blueprint for overcoming anything is called ‘Going Through’. It’s a MAPP
- [Light and Love](https://helenglanville.com/2021/09/19/light-and-love-2/) - There are many references to ‘light and love’ on social media but I’m not so sure people know what they are referring to. Light is that inexplicable, penetrable and radiant stuff which invades and wipes out the darkness. Where there is light, darkness has no where to exist. It must go. Some of us have
- [It's the Little Things](https://helenglanville.com/2022/02/19/its-the-little-things-2/) - The broken spring which won’t allow me to open the petrol cap on my car; The clip at the back of my dress which won’t hook up; The zipper on me purse which won’t close; The door key which gets stuck and won’t turn; The smallest but painful thorn in my foot which won’t come
- ['A Second Chance'](https://helenglanville.com/2020/12/05/a-second-chance/) - Have you ever done something you wish you hadn’t, then thought it would weigh you down forever? There are always repercussions for the decisions we make. Sometimes we wished we’d never made them. But there have been times when we were given a ‘second chance’, forgiven and allowed to move forward as if nothing had
- [Refined by Fire](https://helenglanville.com/2020/12/06/refined-by-fire/) - Have you ever, experienced that gut-wrenching feeling of sudden, devastating loss – becoming homeless, overnight! I have found a catastrophic event, can be a pivotal turning point, for redirection which catapults us to a whole new future. Australian summer bushfires are renowned worldwide, for their brutal, blackening damage to landscape and property. But they always
- [Do you want to soar?](https://helenglanville.com/2020/12/06/do-you-want-to-soar/) - Are you easily distracted from your schedule? Are you easily diverted from your goals? Easily side-tracked from your direction? Have you developed the mindset of a victim and not the mindset of a victor? You may not even be aware of your victim thinking. Actually, it could be your blind spot. Our mindset is our
- [Thinking about thinking](https://helenglanville.com/2020/12/06/thinking-about-thinking/) - Have you ever wondered, who taught you how to think? Do you challenge the facts? Do you have independent thought? Can you logically think about both sides of an issue without emotional bias? Do you think through all the possible pros and cons before making big decisions? One of the most important attributes you can
- [Pivoting - Make it Pay](https://helenglanville.com/2021/01/02/pivoting-make-it-pay/) - One of our best and most beneficial MOs would be to make the past pay for the future. Plundering the past of everything it owes us and making it pay itself forward, for our future, has potential, possibility and purpose. Let’s take every seed from every sorrow which life hands us and plant it for
- [Say, 'I want to'](https://helenglanville.com/2021/03/28/say-i-want-to/) - How many times has there been something you just had to do, but you didn’t want to do it? You thought of ways to get out of it, yet you knew you just had to do it. There is a power when we change our language because it changes our mind – a mind shift
- [Set up for failure](https://helenglanville.com/2021/04/17/set-up-for-failure/) - Have you ever been in a workplace situation when you felt you really had little opportunity to speak your mind? This can come about because your contribution and ideas are drowned out and overlooked by those above you in the company pecking order. Too many voices. Too many pulls and pushes. The worst position I’ve
- [On Being Interrupted](https://helenglanville.com/2022/02/08/on-being-interrupted-2/) - I hate being interrupted. How about you? If you want to irritate me, interrupt me. Some of the most memorable times I have of my life have been when I was interrupted. Many times I wasn’t planning for anything out of the ordinary. I certainly wasn’t ready for anything, especially an interruption. Sometimes in life
- [Overcoming Default](https://helenglanville.com/2022/02/08/overcoming-default-2/) - How many times have we felt so anxious we then become completely overwhelmed? Anxiety can cause our mind to turn to everything that is wrong and every possible worst outcome, like breaking a leg when we fall over. How did I think of that? If that a fear I might have? Why do our minds

- [Discernment sees Differences](https://helenglanville.com/discernment-sees-differences/) - Discernment sees Differences Discernment is not understood by all.
