Free Will, HEE or NLP?

 It is very easy when you decide to "fix" some things in your life to try and fix everything at once - with the result that usually very little really gets fixed, permanently. Presently I have two fixes in mind: to reduce my waistline to 26" by 26 March 2012 and to get my paper flow under control.Target 26 came first. It started after I attended an introductory NLP workshop and was reminded of some of the awesome things that I had achieved in the past, simply by setting my mind to the tasks at…See More

Three Words -Touch, Quiet, Gift

This is a new blog post at Stories My Nana Tells.The idea of setting three words to help guide you and keep you on track in achieving your goals comes from Chris Brogan, who outlines in his blog how you can cut through all the mission statements, visions and strategic planning by selecting three essential words.Quoting from his own article at the beginning of 2009, he wrote:  “If you’re not familiar with the exercise, the object is to come up with three words that you use as compass points for…See More

Profile Information

Tell us a bit about yourself, so we can get to know you
No Tall Poppies has been created to provide an internet portal for men, women and small businesses to find a place where they can network, communicate, share ideas and passions and support each other. I am the founder of No Tall Poppies.

My name is Lesley Dewar, I am an Australian Grandmother and I write stories for children aged 7-12yo. My website is http://storiesmynanatells.com and I have been a published writer since 2004. I also write for the Australian ABC Technology Website under the name of #SilverSurfer - because I am an avid surfer of the internet and love social media.

In addition, I am an experienced public speaker and give talks and make presentations on a wide range of topics. I have recently sold my financial planning business to embark on a whole new career of writing, travelling and speaking.

I am passionate about supporting the environment and seeing businesses work in a sustainable manner. I hate whaling and work with several groups to maintain political pressure to have it stopped. I am passionate about marine sanctuaries and the need to make and keep space in the world for the beautiful creatures (in the water and on land) that make this world a wonderful place to live.

I have published a very successful eBook on using Twitter and networking - it is free - at http://networkingtoaplan.com

I blog, mentor, encourage and share. I also take some time for myself, now and then.

Hello Lesley

I am home, nursing a large strong coffee and  musing about  the visit I have just had with the periodontist. Nice man with big strong horsey teeth, and I felt safe and unafraid. The examination  ended with an unfunny sort of "Your teeth are OK but the gums have to come out" analysis, and all of a sudden impending old OLD age stared at me in the face.

"I have to have a tooth out, and have  a  bone graft, and then a tooth implant..."

Surely that only happens to the elderly??
I am in denial that I am old!
I run - I climb trees, I do utterly crazy things.. I am..

Oh...
I am a crazy old woman.....

*deep sigh*

When did this happen? Are my bits and pieces failing me?
I am in strong denial!

By the way, I absolutely love the beautiful bright 'poppy' red of the lettering and highlighting and gorgeous poppy photo at the top of the page.  This is such a stunning looking website!  You have done such a wonderful job creating this lovely space.
