Far from the wintry climes of Europe, in Australia, our Summer is just getting warmed up. The highest temperature in Australia since 1960 was recorded in Onslow, Western Australia, on Thursday this week. The mercury climbed to hit 50.7 degrees at 2:26 pm!

The hot, stormy weather is always a strange experience for an Englishman in Melbourne during the Christmas break. I know many of you in the North will already be scraping ice off the windscreens as the school term kicks off again.

When the rains have arrived here in Victoria, the contrast to the blue skies is evident, and we often see a tremendous rolling bank of greyscale formation heading our way.

The Bureau of Meteorology’s Rain Radar shows us the encroaching blobs of wet thunder and lightning. The more red and dark, the more intense. Sometimes the rain falls, and sometimes it passes.

It got me thinking about a question I have for you — what’s on your radar for 2022?

To lead is to have a vision.

To have vision is to see the unseen, hear the unheard, and know what others do not know. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive, finding opportunities where there seems to be nothing but obstacles.
