A clever sign to promote a park
My friend Jaqui Lane saw this new sign on our walk and immediately wanted to have her photo taken in it. We love Centennial Park in Sydney- one of the largest urban parks in the world.

Innovation can happen anywhere
Innovation doesn't just happen in a laboratory. It's not someone else's responsibility. It's up to you if you want to live in a better world. Innovation is "anything that improves anything" and has to be fun! Lynn Wood Chief Idea Spy

An important keynote speaker at your event who's a hoax
Rodney Marks is a corporate comedian. He's based in Sydney and performed around the world. His comic hoax routine relates to the Impostor Syndrome. Many people feel unworthy of their senior roles, and are (unjustifiably) fearful of being caught out as frauds. This insecurity is almost never based on a genuine deficit of talent, skills or experience. It's a lack of confidence. When we see a comedy performance by a corporate impostor, we're reminded of the importance of confidence by a confidence trickster in a safe environment and it's great fun. Rodney says his fees are risable! www.comedian.com.au
