What I learned (& you can too) from the dragons hidden under my butt
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Creativity & innovation
‘Here be dragons’ was a term some say, used by explorers to describe unexplored territory. Unknown, mysterious territory. Like the territory we all face when we set out to seek, to find the betwixt & between. Working with 20,000+ participants in 80+ countries to help them laugh, learn & lead has shown […]

I’m getting ready to speak at next week’s Young Women’s Social Entrepreneur dinner. I think, as women, we beat ourselves up (not to mention other women) waaaay too much. So, just when it looks impossible … Just when folks are starting to laugh … Just when you’re doubting yourself … Just when you’re about to […]

An archeologist is someone whose career lies in ruins ~ anonymous Love this twist on perspective. It’s clever. It’s humourous.
