How do you teach kids resilience? 🤔
You show rather than tell!
Resilience is one of the most powerful traits a person can build. But if I am being honest, it can be a tricky concept to explain verbally to young people.
That`s why, in my school presentations, I use a simple challenge: "Imagine plaiting your hair with only one hand."
I could look at it and say “it’s too hard," and give up before I even start 🙅♀️
Or, I could choose to work hard, try, fail, and try again. That persistence - that trying - is resilience in action.
And that resilience is why I can plait my daughter`s hair with one hand in front of a whole school presentation, all while the kids sing along to K-Pop Demon Hunters 🤣

Pinch me! 🥹
I was so honoured to be nominated by my peers for the @stanfordgsb Centennial Alumni Catalysts Awards…. But to be selected by the judging panel as one of the award recipients - I’m speechless (and we all know I am not speechless very often 😉)
To be recognised for embodying the #StanfordGSB mission of “changing lives, changing organisations, and changing the world” is so special.
I absolutely love what I do, and the opportunity I have to make a positive impact on those I present to and work with.
Huge congratulations to all the incredible fellow alumni awardees! 🙏

Nailed the costume this year, hands down! 🖐️
I could lose my grip on this spooky night, but don`t worry - I`ve got a handle on things 👻
No hand-me-downs here, this look is all me, plus the money I saved on this costume is very handy 💲🕷️🧟♀️ 🩸⚰️🎃

Such a special event heading out to Quiplie for the @motherlandaustralia western Queensland fundraiser.
The landscape, the animals, the beautiful community - I`ll be back! 🩷

How lucky are we to call Australia home 🦘
I`m so fortunate to have seen a lot of the world, but my recent trip to Quilpie, Western QLD was a beautiful reminder that some of the all-time best views are right on our doorstep 🌏

When I walked into the @stanfordgsb 6 years ago, I had no idea the direction my career would take…
Now, to be recognised as one of the 100 Centennial Alumni Catalysts — a cohort of Stanford Univeristy Graduate School of Business graduates across six decades recognised for leadership, service, and impact — is surreal and so special 🥹
To be nominated by my peers (thank you to everyone who supported this!) for the international impact of my company, Grit and Gold, means the world. I am so thankful for the #StanfordGSB community who first inspired me to believe in this mission back in 2019!
Swipe for the cutest throwback of little Josie at my graduation ❤️
