Something you don’t know about me…..

Something you may not know about me is this…..

( Oh….and before I begin I have to say I am not in the HABIT of starting every post in this way!! )

I have worked for 40 years in communication, leadership and educational  roles, often at the forefront of change  and innovation.  Initially a NSW Registered Nurse I worked for 16 years in Education and Management roles bringing revolutionary change to Nurse Education in Australia.  In 1989 I founded my own Advertising Agency, Take One Productions and won many awards including the NSW Northwards Tourism Award, Media Section and an award from Cacharel in Paris.

I have served on charitable boards as Chair or President, as well as devoting many hours supporting local community initiative such as the Fire and Ambulance Services.  I enjoyed a pristine and high trust association with NSW Police supporting their Forensic services.

My organisational skills combined with my background as a miilliner, film and TV make up artist, experienced camera person and journalist,  scriptwriter have forged the way for many creative productions. I was initially a stringer for the PRIME network then later freelanced for all networks in Australia.  Contracts extended to 20;20 and 60 minutes to secure footage or interviews in regional NSW for national programming.

I have myself been in a range of commercials ( mostly for fun)  and won the popular TV series The Chair using  my  improv acting skills, coming from first thought.  I walked away with $5000 for answering 7 questions in 7 minutes and without stressing beyond my pre-determined stress rate.
THIS IS SIGNIFICANT ON A NUMBER OF FRONTS  BECAUSE YOU SEE I DID NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS…..I JUST WENT WITH FIRST THOUGHT !  We sometimes don’t know just how much we know!!
Which is the first rule of improv!

I have both improv and straight acting experience and pride myself on my ability to put people at ease and to foster the inherent good in those I work with.

 My focus now is reaching a global audience of  creative entrepreneurs to support and enable their full self expression this lifetime.
