The world is working in a hybrid mode - many continue to commute to their workplace while others work from home. How to find technology to enable and manage this new way of working?

The Australian ICT industry is unique: it is an ideal test market for new technologies and services. I moved to Sydney in 2016 to apply my 20 years of European ICT industry experience to the Aussie cloud and software business combining sales and marketing activities, mostly with partner companies.

Since I came to Sydney, I developed myself as a strategic networker bringing people together face to face and online using Social Selling techniques. I became an educator sharing this passion especially while serving the channel in Australia and Asia Pacific in the Software-as-a-Service industry.

I am passionate about the transformation of modern workplaces to embrace new ways of collaboration. Cloud based tools, mobility and Artificial Intelligence enable these trends. I consult and guide my audience as a trusted advisor along the change journey, to prepare for a connected tomorrow.

In addition to modern IT trends I care about heritage architecture, enjoy cultural activities and write about travel. As a published author of 22 books including two hotel guides, I combine these streams together.

Adapting my subject matter expertise and leadership experience to the next level, I serve as Board Director of my favourite hotel in Sydney.

Fun to be in the sales profession if you see these photos from yesterday‘s LiveHaus  event!
🥂
But not all have reasons to be happy as 42% of salesreps don‘t make quota and 91% in APAC report burnout (highest in the world).

Where to find out what to do with it?

Yesterday‘s SalesHaus event at The Commons in Sydney was the place where Australia‘s top #B2Bsales people came together.

Joe Hindmarsh MBA from Highspot set the scene with shocking facts line those reported above - but shows how #salesenablement platforms can improve the revenue impact (especially through partners).

Here are my key takeaways from some of the panelists, well moderated by 🚀 Saurabh Kaura: 

- Ricky Pearl: The best performing salesreps didn‘t change their approach radically from AI

- Steve Tolen: People still buy from people, we can‘t automate the relationship building process

- Adem Manderovic: Quota-hitting teams don‘t try harder, they engineer certainty in an GTM architecture approach (launching his book in 2026!)

My two cents: Authencity as sellers - also through #partnership - is key to win client trust. Using AI-powered tech tools is a short cut to be more efficient and creative - but not a replacement for the power of human connection.

What‘s your tip to remain connected in the sales profession?

A Happiness Coach for Corporate Professional Women | Happiness is Your Birthright | Transform Inner Critic | Being Seen, Heard And Respected | Choose Love Over Fear

As an NLP Happiness Coach, I empower women to release fear, reconnect with their inner wisdom, rebuild self-trust, and create a life of emotional freedom, truth, and joy.

I believe happiness isn’t something to chase; it’s a home within. 

Through gentle guidance and deep inner work, I help women let go of a thousand stories of unworthiness and meet themselves as a fuller expression of who they wish to be.

Every journey home begins with one brave step, and it always leads back to love.

For years, I believed happiness was something I had to chase. I tried to change others, hoping that would bring me the love and fulfillment I longed for. But the more I tried, the more I buried my own needs beneath guilt, self-betrayal, and quiet exhaustion.

The turning point came when I realized: no one else could walk this path for me. I had to choose it - to become the brave heart who would journey home to herself. That awakening was a blessing in disguise.

🌿 Today, I guide women who are ready to see uncertainty as opportunity, embrace imperfection as wholeness, and meet life as it is - with gratitude as their anchor.

Through NLP coaching and deeper self-reflection, I guide them in releasing fear, reclaiming their self-trust, and reconnecting with their inner wisdom - living a life of emotional freedom, truth, and joy is within reach.

I believe happiness is not a luxury - it’s our birthright. 

When we choose love, we choose peace. And when we walk this path together, we create ripples of gentleness, strength, and compassion - the very energy the world needs more of.

✨ My clients come to me when:

💧 They feel unworthy, unseen, or unloved.
💧 They’re tired of chasing approval or trapped in draining relationships.
💧 They’ve buried their dreams under fear, duty, or exhaustion.
💧 They’re ready - truly ready - to live fuller, and have no regrets.

Every journey home begins with one courageous step. Sometimes that step is as simple as a conversation.

📩 If this resonates with you, send me a message with “Brave Heart” or book a call. Let’s explore whether I am the right support on your journey toward freedom, joy, and self-trust.

Because brave hearts know - the journey home to love is the freedom they once hid from. And now, they walk toward it with gratitude, reverence, and awe.

Welcome home - sooner.

With love and light,
Eleen
