When coming of age is a curly beast
Sascha Moore 08:30 AM, 8 Nov 2021 6 minute read As women, we’re conditioned – and categorised, constantly. While it’s no different for men, for us, the effects are arguably often more far-reaching and entrenched. Which is why it’s so confusing when you get rare glimpses of full potential that it somewhat feels either unattainable or fleeting. For me, which is by no stretch representative, it’s always been the ‘cheerleading’ contest.

Following an acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe debut, LAB RATS bring the hilariously touching one-man show, written by Sascha Moore and performed by David William Bryan, back to London.
Technology not replacing humans, says drone expert
Speaking as part of the Vivid Ideas Exchange in Sydney, Dr Catherine Ball – founder of World of Drones Congress – said that technology is not replacing humans at all. Instead, computers and automation are removing human responsibility for menial tasks to free up more time for human interactions, such as customer relations. “The thing that people worry about with the fourth industrial revolution is that we are all going to be at the mercy of robot overlords.
Why people fail at conflict resolution
During a recent leadership course, the trainer said very matter-of-factly that “an issue isn’t an issue until it is communicated.” He gave the example of an employee sitting in a pod of desks, who was annoyed by the regular sighs of one of his colleagues. Yet instead of raising it with that colleague, he broached the subject with other colleagues sitting nearby.

The hidden secret of great leadership
He was known to be a perfectionist with nearly impossible standards; he never shielded away from telling someone what he thought; he thrived on problem solving; and he was an insatiably curious man. Have you considered the importance of curiosity as a leadership trait? Jobs’ interests were incredibly varied and included calligraphy, an interest that led to the development of the iconic Apple fonts.
How can you choose a reputable web developer?
As one such industry player points out, there are no formal qualifications required to become a web developer. “[For] content management systems, you can get something like an open source program like a Joomla or a WordPress, and there are no qualifications around that,” explains Tim Barnett of digital agency 2BInteractive.
Real life: Heath Goddard, Pillow Talk
From humble beginnings in Queensland, Pillow Talk now operates a chain of 59 stores across eastern Australia, with around 800 staff nationally. Marking its 40th anniversary in 2017, Pillow Talk boasts a history of being ahead of the curve and looking at ways to satisfy customers first before ways to better its bottom line. Indeed, as the company’s general manager Kate Spencer says, “When we set up our website, no one was doing that yet.
Is face-to-face dead?
Technology has come a long way since the Nokia 3310. The novelty of playing Snake on your mobile phone is now superseded by superfluous functions which have changed the way that we do business. Smashing out 20 emails in the commute to work is a much bigger achievement than creating the longest snake while in transit.
6 ways meditation makes you a better businessperson
My path to becoming a social entrepreneur was an accidental one. As a doctor specialising in the field of psychiatry, I turned to meditation to manage the stress of my work. It took a while before I was sold on it, though. Like many people who are driven to create and make things happen, I used to wonder why anyone would “just sit there” doing meditation. As a compulsive doer myself, sitting down to meditate was profoundly challenging. Where was the productivity in that?
Digital ways to pay - why should SMEs bother?
If someone had told you 10 years ago that we would be producing invoices on our phones, you would have laughed, especially when we were all working on Blackberries.

The cost of a new website revealed: Tim Barnett, 2BInteractive
“We’re web developers – we’re not business coaches or business development coaches. But at the end of the day, we sometimes are involved at that level because your website is so key to your business.” Indeed, website architecture can be a costly and time-consuming endeavour. Tim joins the My Business team to discuss the importance of having a business strategy and how having a plan in place helps web developers produce an end result that is satisfying to all.
Can’t remember what you forgot? Instant ways to boost your memory
Memory problems are commonly thought of as a problem relating to older age. The somewhat depressing news published in the British Medical Journal in 2012, however, revealed cognitive decline starts in our 40s and 50s, indicating it’s never too early to be putting in place ways to help preserve cognitive function. With stress now identified by 80 per cent of Americans as the most common workplace challenge, identifying ways to boost memory and cognition is becoming increasingly urgent.
Are customers really too busy to give you feedback?
Everyone claims to offer the best customer service in their local area or particular industry. Yet what constitutes “the best” is up to customers to determine – not business owners and their employees. So without capturing customer feedback rigorously and efficiently, how do you really know how your service offering stacks up? Is it really better than your competitor down the road? Are there things you could be doing better but don’t even realise it?
Shark Tank’s Steve Baxter talks tech in business
Speaking with My Business ahead of his presentation at the recent Intuit Australia’s QuickBooks Connect conference, Steve says it is important for businesses owners to be measured in their approach to incorporating new technologies into their business.
