How Leaders Can Practice Empathy And Why It Matters
Two years ago, when the pandemic was still on the periphery and not yet a threat to our everyday lives, Sharon Williams, Founder and CEO of Taurus Marketing, was one of the few leaders championing a new style of leadership – empathy.

Doing This Simple Thing at Work Can Make All the Difference in Getting Ahead
In March 2020, workers all over the world hung up their corporate wardrobe for what would eventually be a two-year journey of stretch pants and, let’s be frank, lacklustre grooming.

Senior female leadership program designed to improve equal representation at the C-suite in STEM
STEM is one of the fastest growing and most highly paid areas to work in Australia, yet women still only account for 16 per cent of the workforce in Australia and 3 per cent of executives or CEOs in the industry.

Why Should You Avoid The Blue Light From Your Digital Devices?
We hear a lot about blue light these days and how it’s not good for us but is it really as serious as it’s made out to be? If you take a look at the research, there is a lot to back up the claims about artificial blue light negative effects. Harvard University research has shown exposure to blue light after dark disrupts our sleep and increases our risk of a range of illnesses including cancer. So how do we make sure we don’t get so much blue light? It’s not quite that simple.
Should You Be Avoiding Too Much Blue Light From Your Screens?
Let’s face it. We’re scrolling on social media, we’re checking work emails late at night and at the same time, we’re watching Netflix on our TV screens. It’s not exaggerating to say that most of us spend a large percentage of our time staring at screens of some kind – so that means we’re staring at blue light for hours on end. But exactly what is blue light and why are people saying it’s bad for you? Well, blue light is only one of several colours in the visible light spectrum.
