There have been a lot of hard lessons to learn in business, but I wanted to talk to you about one I’ve found the hardest to accept… If you’re anything like me, you probably find that when you come up against a challenge in business, you think: “I must be doing something wrong because this […]

Do you ever catch yourself scrolling social media or checking your inbox and getting really excited when you see a new program or professional development opportunity that has your name all over it?

Let’s talk about side hustles…. I’ve had a few! Believe it or not, Port Macquarie Performing Arts—that now has almost 300 students—used to be mine.  When I started PMPA, my full-time job was in breakfast radio. I would go to work at 5am and be on air until 10am, and then do all of the […]
