I’m fresh back in Australia after delivering an intense week-and-a-bit facilitation gig over in Hong Kong. I had a wonderful time and learnt some lessons on the road, that I’d like to share with you.

I met today’s guest, Brett McGuire on my work travels to Indonesia last year. When I wanted to seek out a person to help me on the workshops I’m facilitating in Hong Kong later this month, I thought Brett would be able to give me some incredible insight, given his cultural and cross-border work with […]
