Lesley Ann, you recently made a very generous offer to Romance Writers of Australia members. You yourself are not yet a published author, but you put out an offer to promote the work of those who already are. What inspired you? Well, Darcy, the idea came to me as I stewed about a conversation with an author friend. We discussed …

Sandy’s Bullying Experience
I’ve been working with Sandy, a lovely young woman who is being bullied at work. Now, I’m not talking about appropriate direction or correction. I’m talking things like: Refusing to teach her how to use an invoicing system and making her call the supplier for training so she ‘learns it the right we, because we use shortcuts’. Then getting angry …
Pearls of Wisdom-Darcy Delany and Lauren Heys, Moxxi Group
In my debut video for my new show, Pearls of Wisdom, I chat with Lauren Heys about why women hold themselves back, cautious entrepreneurship versus the ‘all in approach’, aligning with your values and much more!

Staying the Course
When you scroll through Facebook or Instagram, it can be easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling. And it’s often during those tough times that ads come into your feed that make you feel even worse. You know the ones. A perfectly groomed person in an exotic locale touts a service they ‘discovered’ and made a gazillion dollars …
Navigating the Social Media Echo Chamber
Hello, is anybody out there? It can sometimes feel like you go unnoticed on social media. You might be proactive in reaching out to others, but they don’t do the same to you. Or you post valuable content, but are lucky to get a like. Is it me? This is the first question many people ask themselves. They feel they …
