SAY HELLO ON INSTA

NEW BLOG - START WITH WHY, BUT DON’T FORGET HOW: It sometimes seems like the world has gone a little ‘why’ and purpose crazy. . But what about the how? . In my new blog post I talk about not forgetting your ‘how’ and why it can be just important to create fulfilling work. . Link in Bio.
MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING: A couple of months back when I was resitting my meditation training, my teacher asked me if I’d ever considered doing teacher training myself. It was one of those moments you feel like someone has been reading your thoughts. I had. . Ever since I’d listened to an episode of @thomknoles podcast ‘The Vedic World View’ and he’d mentioned the need for more people to be teaching and learning the technique I practice, the seed had been planted. . I hadn’t told anyone it was something I’d like to do. I don’t even know if I believed it myself. But as soon as I was asked if it’s something I’d considered, I knew in my bones I wanted to do it. . So.... as of next month I will be embarking on a year long journey to becoming a teacher of #VedicMeditation. I’ll be studying under the guidance of the amazing Jac Lewis of @thebroadplace . (Check out the Good Work Revolution Podcast I did with her back in 2016). . While I’ve been evolving my work more and more in the direction of how we live and work more consciously, this feels like a big shift for me. It’s really stepping into my role as a conscious leader. . I cannot wait to get started. I am told the personal side of the experience will be pretty transformational. That it’s about so much more than learning how to teach others. I’m really looking forward to sharing that journey with you. 🙏🏻 Image: @joyinme_yoga
Totally in love with this print by @kimmyhogan. It definitely needs to find a place on my office wall. . For a while now I’ve been slowly chipping away at making my home office a space that makes me feel how I want to feel. . Removing clutter, stripping back, making sure I feel calm, but at the same time inspired. . Our workspaces can have a huge impact on how we feel about our work and our day. Don’t underestimate how they can contribute to your productivity, creativity and sense of flow. Just another thing we can be intentional about in. Creating conscious work-lives. Image: @kimmyhogan
PODCAST #026 DR JASON FOX - MEANINGFUL PROGRESS FOR PURPOSE: I have been following the awesome work of @drjasonfox for a number of years now. So it was with great pleasure I had the opportunity to interview him for the #GoodWorkRevolution Podcast. . Jason’s jam is Motivation design. But in our chat we talk about all kinds of interesting stuff: + The threat of busyness and the cult of productivity. + Faux Charisma. + Challenging the assumption that more is better. + Achieving meaningful progress towards purpose. And so much more. . If you have y come across Jason’s work before, I highly recommend you check him out. (He also has one of the most unique and awesome websites I think I’ve seen - complete with custom illustration by his equally amazing partner @dangerlam). . You can listen on iTunes or on my website by following the link in my profile. . If you do have a listen, it would be super duper amazing if you’d leave an iTunes review. 🙏🏻 . Image: @olisansom for @drjasonfox
Flashback to my very first guest episode of the #GoodWorkRevolution podcast with the awesome @mykeldixon . . Mykel and I explored some really interesting stuff like taking risks, working with less, the importance of travel to help give business/career clarity, making space for art and creativity, the changing way of work, artisan thinking and so much more. . Listen on iTunes by clicking the link in my profile.
Happy Friday folks! How has your week been? I'm in the swampy depths of making some big changes to my business this week. . Living and working consciously is something I preach and so it's super important I also practice it. This means reflecting and being aware about what's working and what's not. . Over the past year I realised there were certain aspects of how I was working that weren't lighting me up. Big long consulting projects were causing a yoyo cycle where I would throw everything of myself into that gig, with everything else falling away. I'd resurface again at the end, finding myself needing to reconnect with all the other parts of my business: blogging, podcasting, speaking, creating new content and offerings etc. . It wasn't a sustainable way of working. So I'm changing things up. I'm taking intentional action to shift my how. More workshops and programs, more focus on coaching, more speaking. I'm also looking to do some training that will bring a whole new element to what I'm offering (but more in that soon).This means there'll be some new things brewing. So stay tuned. . Exciting times ahead. I feel like it's a big energy shift that's been a long time coming. . If you feel it's time for a work-life energy shift for you, I love supporting people with this through coaching. PM me if you'd like to know more. 🙏🏻
21 DAY YOGA CHALLENGE: Last Saturday I started a 21 day yoga challenge at the amazing @_evestudio_ . The aim in yoga six days a week for three weeks. . Until this week I don't think I'd done yoga more than two or three days in a row. Today o hit my first week of six! It's amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it. . The best part has been the theme for the week 'shakshin'. Which is all about witness and being present. So we've really taken the time to ensure we're doing the flows and poses properly. Not just going through the motions. I've learned so much already. Who knows, maybe by the end of 21 days I'll look like this photo. (Dreaming 😂). . It's a great thing to take into every day. Slowing down and being present. Is there anywhere you are just going through the motions? How could you be more present? . Image: @kimterpstra_yoga
My favourite conference @purpose_do is on again. If you are interested in purpose driven or conscious business or are even just a purpose driven person, I highly recommend this event. . The folks at @wildwonprojects always do such an amazing job with putting together a stellar experience. And it's an awesome crowd of super rad people. #purpose2018 . Image: @purpose_do
"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive." - Eleonora Duse . Image: @smackbangdesigns
Enjoying a small break down the coast and love to go walking. Took this snap at the #blairgowriebackbeach. Ah. The power of the ocean. It always gets me. One of the things I love about nature is how it can put us right back in our place. We are just a tiny tiny part of something much greater than ourselves. Each of our lives matter and yet at the same time we are totally insignificant. Ah. What a beautiful paradox.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON INSTAGRAM: A couple of months ago I made a big declaration I was going to start writing my book. 1000 words a day I said, full of hopes, dreams and good intentions. . Everyone was supportive and cheered me on. For all anyone knows I have been diligently writing away. But that is not the case. . I started with a couple of great days, then it all quickly fizzled and died. I've barely written a word for myself since. (Lots of stuff for clients, but not my book). . So, this is a reminder. Instagram is great for sharing the highlights. We see far less of the failures/learnings. This is one of my spectacular and epic fails. What do I plan to do? Pick myself back up and try again. 'Cause that's what failure's all about right? And maybe this time I'll avoid any massive declarations of writing 1000 words a day. 😂. Image: @inkandpulp
Massive workspace crush on this beautiful setup care of @fridayafternoon_sundaymorning (regram). . Do you have any workspace crushes?
Do you worry about work when you close your eyes to go to sleep at night? Do you stress more often than not? Do you drag your heels to get up in the morning because you dread the day? . I've had jobs like this. Or jobs that start out well then over time start to slowly chip away at joy. . Life is too short. . Sometimes we need a catalyst to get us out of a negative work spiral. I work with people to transform their working lives. To find wellbeing, fulfillment and activate their true potential in what they do. You don't have to quit (although that is one option). We can work on strategies that can be big and bold or small and incremental. But it's all about bringing intention back, working out what's really important and making steps toward change. . Contact me at kate@katemccready.com to talk about a coaching series or one off session. . Image: @keratill
SPRING CLEAN YOUR LIFE: Spring seems to be finally here in Melbourne. While we often look to our houses for a good old spring clean, it can be a great opportunity to look at other things in our lives. What's working and what's not working. . I was working with a client the other day on all the little unintentional things that can begin to create unintended clutter in our heads. . Just like with a spring clean of our homes, it can be great to empty out all the 'junk' in our lives, give things a good scrub and decide what deserves to come back in again. . What are those things you've allowed to creep into your life and work that may not be serving you? What are the new things and routines you'd like to replace them with to get things feeling fresh again?
This guy. My little Chief Wellbeing Officer. @jaxxthecavoodle. He always makes sure I get away from my desk and take him for a walk every day. Love you little legend.
FLASHBACK JAPAN 2006: It's been over 11 years since I spent a year living in Japan. It was probably one of the best and most memorable years of my life. It's now a place that holds a special place in my heart. There's something so magical about how ancient and super modern coexist side by side. The people are kind and fun and kooky in the best kind of way. . Living in a place where I didn't speak the language, learning about a new culture is an experience I'll treasure forever. . This shot was taken at the #philosopherswalk in #kyoto. It's a place that has an amazing sense of peace to it. I'm feeling the itch to go back. Perhaps my next workation...
ARE YOU LETTING YOURSELF RELAX TODAY? I'm doing something today that I really avoid doing at all costs. Working on a Sunday. It's so important to have boundaries around our work. Whether we work for ourselves or others. . Of course sometimes stuff happens and something just has to get done. It's making sure it doesn't become the norm. It's being hyper aware of our working habits and making sure they don't get the better of us. . To balance this out I'll be making sure I head out for a nice long walk in the sunshine. I'll take a day later in the week for myself once I've met my deadline. . Down time helps us rejuvenate. We are not machines. Make sure you're taking yours. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. . How does this kind of thing play out for you? I'd love to hear your biggest challenges with juggling work and down time. Image @smackbangdesigns
VOTE YES! It makes me sad that we have to have a stupid postal vote on something the Australian Government should have just done years ago. But unfortunately that's not the situation we are in. . When my envelope arrives I will be voting a big fat yes to marriage equality. Love does not discriminate and neither should we. #loveislove . I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but if you do happen to be considering a no vote, I ask you to open your heart. Have compassion. Try, as hard as it might be, to put yourself in the shoes of those who would be so crushed by your decision. Your life would not be affected if you instead ticked the yes box, but you would forever change the lives of so many Australians for the better. #voteyes🌈. . Thank you to the beautiful @vanessa.muradian of @miamuse_official for the awesome tshirt. Head to the Mia Muse website to get yours and share the love!
