Barbie’s booty meets Ruby – an illuminating perspective from the Body Shop
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication
Meet Ruby – from an ad by the Body Shop. Illuminating. Thought provoking. Colourful. Educational. Insightful. Creative.

From Anita Roddick’s former blog (founder of the Body Shop) Ruby was making Barbie look bad, presumably […]

What’s behind door #1? Self-awareness & perspective
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication
My friend Michelle once said in an email … “‘Go where the door is open’ and it occurred to me – that – that’s what you did Lee-Anne – you opened the door.” And as I’m sitting here writing this post, from my new home in Kenya, I’m thinking a lot about doors. Which to […]

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Conflict resolution

Wang Chien (AD 756–835) eloquently wrote the above when he heard his friend was coming back from the war. It came my way from a friend (thanks Michelle for your muse). It got me thinking about what creates distance and what creates closeness. Distance is more than being physically far apart, it’s: not feeling understood or […]

You’ve got to hand it to the brains behind the video below. A new perspective is magic … or is it? When it comes to perspective, we’re constantly, unconsciously comparing our view to others. ‘other’ can be odd ‘different’ can be downright weird But when someone else is looking at our perspective, it’s us that […]

The Journey Life Lens™ of Loie Fuller’s Danse Serpentine (1896)
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness
Personality traits are telling. So are assessments. Compared to my last post, where a quote from Picasso encapsulated Destination Life Lenses™, this Danse Serpentine video, recorded by modern dancer Loie Fuller in 1896, symbolizes the view from a Journey Life Lenses™.
