The 365 Leadership Blogging Challange

And so we begin the 365 challenge.

Hello from Vanessa and Devron, so glad you could stop by and read our blog. We are a dynamic married duo with four precious children (no pets yet!) who has escaped from over 20 years of corporate life to shine a light for people to level up their personal business brand and get online.

In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution every business, entrepreneur and career professional should have a strategy, tactics and plan to establish their brand on the world wide web. Thankfully we have over 4000 hours of coaching, training and mentoring young people right through to the wiser folks in the workplace on leadership, securing investment, start up, marketing and more.

We have gracefully accepted the daily blog challenge, which was inspired by our friends O.L. and Sway Buckley who are also doing this challenge and happily cheered us on to publish for 3…….6…….5 days! Our hope is to see if by changing the way we publish our blogs, we will encourage you to think innovatively about your challenges with work life balance. We recently launched our podcast Vision Makers (yeah) to inspire people to create an unstoppable vision. We hope you can join us every week.

As a husband and wife team we put our family first but we are also life learners and have now reached a tipping point in our journey where after several years of coaching and training in publishing, marketing and business, we want to give back to our circle and help people to level up.

Our corporate journey so far included procurement and supply chain management, government public policy and strategic project management. Combined, we have led national initiatives, set up global teams, rescued several projects from failure and directed public funding for community programmes. Both of us are experienced company directors who have grown our own business and at the same made mistakes along the way. But we still stand and smile 🙂

It’s interesting for us as the one theme that runs through this all is people. We love people of all kinds and the more challenges you have the more we love you as our clients because let’s face it life presents all sorts of stuff! And it’s better to sort your stuff out with people who have been through stuff that can help you navigate your way out to keep moving. Our work is deliberately aimed at working with people first so we create motivating environments that others want to be a part of. Our “Dine & Shine” event is a great example.

Part of our aim is to create our blogs around our thinking, beliefs and experience, which will be fun because some of you know that working relationships can have a healthy dialogue before a balance is sometimes reached. We will keep it clean. Ultimately friends this is a new day for us as we strike a pose online and share as we build a business that is impactful as well as profitable. So you’ll find out more about the different ways we compliment each other and take from us and apply all you like into your lives.

The transition online has been tricky for us both as, time is a ‘treasure’ in our unity. We still believe that we are chosen to lead in the workplace and we believe that we should follow our passion which is to build a future for our families ahead of us. As we embark on our next chapter of bringing family, friendship and business strands together to build our vision we really hope we can create new relationships with a thriving community.

By doing this we are showing people the real strength in leadership, which is all around us in our everyday lives. It’s not elite. Parents are leaders. A leader is anyone who wants to show others the way to run a race that they are already destined for. We don’t know everything about business, leadership or any other subject but we sure do like to learn from others so your feedback and engagement will be a massive bonus for us.

We are currently being coached ourselves through this process and we are both so excited to share the growing pains amongst people who are travelling the same paths. This shows the reality of the choices we make and what we believe to be true will make us happy.

With that in mind, we really want you to be a part of of our journey, so if you know you are supposed to be doing more but just don’t know how to get started, follow our blog, listen to our podcasts as we explore strategies and tactics we are doing/testing to level up our lifestyle.

See you again.
