  • Where The Magic Happens

    During the COVID19 lockdown here in New Zealand many of us learnt all sorts of things about how our rhythms of work and leisure could pivot so easily.

  • Leading Out Of A Storm

    From Wednesday 25th March 2020 New Zealand moved into Alert Level 4 – full lockdown. My generation had not known anything like it, being confined to our homes barring a walk around our own neighbourhood, which fortunately meant the golden sands of the East Coast Bays beaches here on the North Shore of Auckland.

  • Leadership in Lockdown

    Saturday 29th February 2020 dawned warm and clear and continued to be a wonderful day as our family celebrated the wedding of our eldest son to our new daughter-in-law. There was lots of hugs and kisses and all the joy you’d normally expect at such a celebration. This day will be etched into the family memory bank for years to come. Good times.

  • It’s Black and White. Really it is.

    As I approach my 50th birthday later this year I’m reminded that some things in life just stick forever.

  • Redefining Success in 2020

    I’ve just experienced my 49th Christmas / New Year season. I can remember a good number of them and like the one just passed, they’ve all followed a similar pattern of connecting with my immediate and wider family, especially those who live in other towns from where I grew up.

  • Who is our marketing target

  • Culture & Change

    I’ve been involved with an organisation outside of the church I pastor for about 10 years now. Historically this organisation has been in existence for about twenty years and has grown substantially in its influence in our local community which has had wider benefit throughout New Zealand.

  • Your Story Counts

    I was recently asked to provide a short article about the story of my life. Initially I thought that would be easy enough, until I sat down and started writing it and discovered it’s not as easy to be succinct as I thought.

  • Character Before … Anything Else

    It’s true that sometimes God leads in mysterious ways. Let me explain.

  • Coping With Disappointment

    As part of a leadership organisation I’m involved with, the church I pastor recently hosted a mega-church pastor; you know the sort, a big name from the USA with a church of tens and tens of thousands spread over multiple campuses in multiple states of ‘Merica. He’s hugely sort after, very influential and from what I could ascertain after transporting him from his hotel to our church a couple of times, a good bloke.
