Growing up I reckon my 3 sisters and I finished board games about 20% of the time. Often the game would end when one person (usually me) was exposed for cheating; or as soon as it was inevitable one of us would lose, the board would become airborne. To this day I don’t know how … More 5 ways to stop your kids being Sore Losers.

We were thrilled to have Nathan Burke speak at our 2018 Marcellin Business Network launch. He spoke on his experiences as an elite athlete and how that has translated into achieving peak performance. His lessons on mindset, maximising potential and leadership were delivered at a level for everyone to understand. He was fantastic. His talk was particularly memorable with his approach on our own “attitude”, which is the most powerful thing we all own. Thanks again Nathan
