What’s Up in June 2020? by Jo Hutchinson MBA Hang onto your hat’s beautiful soul – we are in for a ride. June is all about sudden or unexpected change and transformation. I see 2020 as a year of transformative growth, perfecting our visions and for many people, it’s an enabler to stepping into a [...]
May brings an opportunity to re-think and change things up. We seek more freedom, movement and new adventures – in short, new experiences. How are you doing during these extraordinary weeks that have slipped into months? The weeks of being in lockdown, from home-schooling, being on the front line, having COVID-19 or simply on a [...]

At A Standstill - A Time to Re-Set By Jo Hutchinson The world stands still – hovering over the giant pause button as we adjust to this new reality. Moving into these last few days of March, the global lockdown now sits around 25% of the world. That’s one in four people. Something we’ve never [...]
Where are we Now? January was the first month of your new decade. It set the scene for a cracking year ahead. The pace. Where time feels like it has sped up. Many have started the new year feeling exhausted, even after taking a break or having a holiday. This is a sign that self-care [...]
Here we are. In 2020. A new year and a whole new decade where the heart leads the way. A year to journey within the self, to uncover hidden talents and abilities, and to step out with a renewed sense of purpose. A new you. A new version of you. 2020 is about perfecting our [...]
This short story is an excerpt from my book ‘Journeys of the Heart and Spirit’ written in 2015 and is shared to honour the brave souls who lost their lives on 9 December 2019 whilst visiting Whakaari/White Island. May we stand together as One people, united in our aroha and hearts, and may we find [...]
What started out as a routine visit to my Doctor to check out my knee ended up being an unexpected wellbeing revelation. About two months ago, I was walking swiftly to catch the ferry. I glanced up to look to the harbour when unwittingly the front of my shoe stumbled on the uneven path where [...]
What makes someone coachable? In my experience, it’s the willingness to grow. Coaching is not a comfortable journey – it is challenging, confronting, and life changing all at the same time. Not everyone is up for it. Breaking out of a comfort zone carries fears and beliefs that will be triggered and need to be [...]
‘Begin with the end in mind’ is what bellowed in my head! Of course, it made sense. Everything had been leading to this moment - the phone call with an editor, the meeting with an artist, the daily writing practise. The term ‘begin with the end in mind’ is a principle from Stephen Coveys’ The [...]
Just 1 day ago I was talking to a client about Christmas holidays. As we spoke, they had a light bulb moment when they mentally calculated that they had less than 2 weeks before going on holiday. On the one hand they were excited about this and on the other, they felt the enormity of [...]
It was a sleepless night. I wished I hadn’t read that email just before I turned my phone off to head to bed. All it did was fire up the burning issue, the yet to be resolved conflict with an electrical supplier. Like a light bulb, the electrical circuit of my brain lit up into [...]
It started out as a random conversation. I was in a retail shop when one of the staff approached me to see if I needed some help. We started chatting. She told me she had just become the store manager and was new to the role. She was young and enthusiastic. I could tell she [...]
It was the end of my work day and I needed a lift. Embracing the shared economy, I opened the Uber app. It was 4.42pm when the Uber driver finally picked me up. He’d been a good 10 minutes stuck in traffic trying to reach me said the Uber app, keeping me updated every moment. [...]
by Joanne Hutchinson It was that time of the year. Exam results were out. I remembered the day when they were delivered in the mail and we anxiously awaited their arrival. We had a long driveway, so it was an errand running up and down, triple checking the letterbox for that 1 letter. I had [...]
Endings prepare us for new beginnings. The sun-sets on another year as Christmas lurks just around the corner. This year more so than other years has flown by and I was glad back in August that I carved out some creative time to reflect on my most important things and get more focussed on my [...]
By Joanne Hutchinson Last week I was speaking at a Women’s Leadership Summit and I had the opportunity to enjoy the speakers who went before me. In one of the presentations, the Formula for Change was briefly touched on and I remembered this from many years earlier. It’s one of those models that is easy [...]
The fact that we’ve just passed the shortest day of the year and are now in winter in the Southern Hemisphere means we just passed a natural turning point - the solstice. This is where the sun is at its lowest point relative to the equator and now the light slowly increases until it reaches [...]
I had the incredible pleasure to hear Dr Tererai Trent speak at the Worldwomen17 conference held in Auckland last weekend. This event was the dream of Theresa Gattung and Barbara Gabler who wanted to create an event to inspire women to create meaningful change in the world. Dr. Tererai Trent is one of today's most [...]
