Relationship Series: PressPlay on the GAME "Date Free"

11/16/22 • 30 min

We are excited to give you a glimpse of real Super Couples taking part in my new book "PressPlay" (available for purchase February 2023).
This week's couple Christine and Jay hail from the East Coast of the United States but have been living in Australia for some years now: they took on Chapter 6 called "Date Free"
Find out how they went!
Intro:
Tonight’s debrief is over one of the most simple GAMES I’ve created called DATE FREE. I have come to learn that simple...doesn’t always mean easy. Especially in our fast-paced society, choosing a date adventure that involves lots of SPACE isn’t what we are most familiar with.

Professor of social psychology at the State University of New York highlights what most of us inherently know, that “The goal is to find ways to keep injecting novelty into {our} relationship.”

Long-time couple Christine and Jay took that task on. As a busy family of four: Jay constantly traveling away as an ER doc and Christine heading up the family - creativity and novelty aren’t something that just happens...

So, amidst a frantic life schedule, they went for it. They created DATE FREE!

125: What does it take to be the first and only female CEO in your industry? By Cecily McGuckin

Today, we continue the conversation with the first and only female CEO in Australia’s steel distribution industry. Cecily McGuckin initially built her career in retail development construction, never really seeing the family business that her Dad had run for over 25 years as an option. Working for Suncorp and Mirvac before having her three kids, she eventually joined her father a decade ago at Queensland Sheet and Steel.

She has scaled her fathers “hand shake deal business” into a formidable player in the industry: recently winning the National CEO of the Year Award for 2020. Believing that people are a company’s greatest asset, she continues to use gut instinct and emotional intelligence to move her business and the industry into 2021 and beyond.

Thanks Cecily for taking time to share your leadership experience with our audience.

The Goods on Cecily:

Cecily McGuckin, the first and only female CEO in Australia’s steel distribution industry, she is passionate about driving change in her industry and her family owned business, Queensland Sheet and Steel (QSS) as it enters 34 years in business. Cecily began her career in finance but quickly stumbled upon an area she enjoyed so much more. Construction development management. Roles at leading companies including Suncorp and Mirvac, followed where she gained a wealth of experience in the day-to-day running of big business and the delivery of large scale projects.

It’s these experiences that helped shape the leader Cecily is today – a problem solver and out of the box thinker. Cecily is also resilient. As a woman in a man’s world she has needed to prove herself time and time again. Not just to her peers and her staff, but her father who started the business from nothing. Cecily credits her emotional intelligence and gut instincts as the key drivers behind her success as a CEO. Not to mention her willingness to take a breath and calmly find the right moment to create conversations that generate results.

Relationship Series: PressPlay on the Game "New Couple Script"

We are excited to give you a glimpse of real Super Couples taking part in my new book "PressPlay" (available for purchase February 2023).
This week's couple Allan & Lari are in the middle of a family move from the Gold Coast of Queensland to Sydney and yet, they still found time to play Chapter 2: New Couple Script!
Find out how they went!

Intro:

The dynamic couple I get to chat to today played one of the more advanced games I’ve created: New Couple Script.

I don’t want to scare anyone off with that caveat bc being the script writer of your life can be one of the most joyful things you do. I believe, you are creating your life whether you consciously know it or not, so, why not sit in the Director’s chair and deliberately creating? The joy of knowing you scripted that into reality can be more powerful than you know.

Based on some of the work of Neville Goddard in the book ‘The Power of Awareness’, he states that, “Your mind is always arranged in the image of all you believe and consent to as true.”

In light of that, I wanted to create a space for deliberately journaling those images that YOU (the player) get to arrange as true. Giving yourself space and time to actually do the work is often the only missing piece to a life well lived!

Before I introduce our loving couple, there is one more inspiration for this game that gave me such goosebumps in my 20s, that I knew I had to create an exercise that us in the Western World could grow from:

“Introducing the woman known for “burying her dreams”: Tererai Trent of Zimbabwe. This awe-inspiring woman developed a list of goals for herself as a young girl living in a rural African village. Her list was buried in a piece of tin behind her home in a field where she herded cattle. Unable to go to school as a child because of being born female, she secretly did her brother’s homework until her father found out and married her off at age 11. Having 3 children by age 18 with an abusive husband, she quickly divorced him the moment the family landed in America. Over the next 20 years, she accomplished each and every goal in her tin can: earning a bachelor's and master's degrees from WMU and completing her journey from ‘life as an impoverished African child bride to a career as an international scholar who holds a Ph.D’. Each time she returs to Zimbabwe, she digs up the list, crosses off the achieved goal and moves on to the next one
