ave Sharma was Australia’s ambassador to

Israel from 2013 to 2017. He’s the youngest

person ever to be appointed to an Australian

ambassadorship. This period coincided with some

of the busiest and most productive years for the

Australian–Israel relationship with trade investment

and innovation ties strengthened significantly. Dave’s

leadership and diplomacy delivered a number of

achievements for Australia, including securing privileged

access for Australia into Israel’s start-up economy,

improved air linkages, better visa products, negotiations

to eliminate double taxation, and the launch of the

Tel Aviv landing pad – an entry point for Australian

entrepreneurs into Israel’s high tech economy.

Dave’s leadership kept the embassy secure and

operational during several periods of significant security

unrest and tension, including the 2014 Israel–Gaza

conflict. He also implemented a staff and resourcing

restructure to better align the embassy to core

objectives and found significant budget savings. In

Canberra prior to his appointment in Israel, Dave’s

roles included advising the Prime Minister on Australia’s

international relations.

Advisor to the Foreign Minister, managing Australia’s

diplomatic presence in Africa and director of the

Indonesia desk looking after one of Australia’s most

important bilateral relationships. Overseas Dave

served as political councillor at the Australian embassy

in Washington DC and he continues to closely follow

US politics and strategic affairs and maintains close

relationships there.

Dave also served as an advisor to the ambassador

for counterterrorism. And undertook peacekeeping

duties with the peace monitoring group in Bougainville,

Papua New Guinea. Dave holds a bachelor’s degree

and master’s degree from the University of Cambridge

with First Class Honours and a master’s degree from

Deacon University.

‘People who succeed have momentum. The more they

succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they

find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing,

the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even

become a self-fulfilling prophecy.’

TONY ROBBINS

ealthy, wealthy and wise is the format of our newspaper. It makes sense to us at Kelly+Partners because we

believe as a business that helping people sort out their financial situation gives them time, peace of mind

and capacity to focus on the important things in life.

Imagine if your email didn’t have a spam filter and, for every relevant message, you had to sift

through hundreds of messages related to Nigerian money scams, Viagra and offers from Chinese

printing companies.

Meditating helps filter out the internal and external ‘noise’ and negative self-talk, providing

us with the clarity of present-moment awareness. As we learn to quieten the ‘monkey mind’,

we quickly become less stressed, more creative, more productive and more adaptable to the

demands of life, making meditation a proven competitive advantage in business and in life.

THERE’S NO NEED TO

SWAP THE SUIT AND

TIE FOR ROBES

Meditation can be done anywhere – in an

office chair, on the bus, in your car (while a

passenger or parked of course) on a lounge, sitting

up in a bed. There’s no need to tie yourself in

knots like a pretzel. Just sit comfortably with

your back supported.

WHAT TO THINK

ABOUT THINKING

One of the most common misnomers about

meditation is that the mind needs to be silent.

The fact is thoughts will come for even the

most experienced meditator. Instead of fighting

thoughts, just observe them and bring yourself

back to your breath. The more you practice this,

the easier it gets and the sooner you discover that

the key to silencing the mind is being completely

indifferent to all of your thoughts.

IT’S AS SIMPLE AS

BREATHING

Close your eyes and take a few deep conscious

breaths. Now allow your breath to fall into its own

natural rhythm. Keep your gentle awareness on

the breath, noticing the way your stomach expands

and contracts and the way your breath feels as it

goes in and out of your nostrils. Thoughts will pop

up and that’s completely OK. If thoughts come,

just smile inside and gently bring your awareness

back to the breath.

IT’S NOT A STILLNESS

COMPETITION

If you need to scratch an itch or shift to get comfy,

you can. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, so

just sit comfortably and relax.

DON’T TRY TO MEDITATE

Meditation might be the only time in life where

not striving hard for a goal is actually beneficial.

When we meditate we’re not trying to achieve

anything or get anywhere. The process is the goal.

We’re not interested in trying to control the mind

or stop the flow of thoughts.

START SHORT

To start with, practice this simple meditation

technique every morning for five minutes. As

you become more comfortable you can slowly

increase the time to 10/15 minutes.

GO FOR QUANTITY

OVER QUALITY

No, that isn't a typo. When it comes to

meditation, the saying ‘quality over quantity’

doesn’t apply. Instead, you should practice being

completely unconcerned about the quality of

your meditations and instead strive for quantity.

In other words, be as consistent as possible. The

quality of your life will improve the more you sit.

PUT IT ON YOUR

‘NOT TO DO LIST’

For many people the thought of adding another

thing to the ‘to do list’ is unfathomable. Rather

than thinking of meditation as another thing we

have to do, try reframing it as 10 minutes to

ourselves with absolutely nothing to do.

WE’RE NOT PRACTICING

TO GET GOOD AT

MEDITATING

We don’t meditate for the experience that we

have during the meditation. We meditate because

it enriches our life in every way.

10.

MEDITATION IS

NOT MEDITATION

There is a myriad of different meditation

techniques out there, with differing degrees of

difficulty and results. If you want to go deeper with

your practice, it’s good to find a technique and

teacher that suits you.

DALAI LAMA

Be kind whenever possible.

It is always possible.

Start making new eating habits

instead of snacking on calorie-

packed food at your desk.

Most Australians work nine to

five, are constantly on the go and

therefore find it a challenge to eat

healthy food. They’re either snacking

at their desk, skipping meals to meet

deadlines or are buying a pie at the

local deli. Little do they know that

implementing new diet habits will

dramatically change the way they feel

and perform.

DO YOU SKIP BREAKFAST?

You shouldn’t. It’s the most important meal of the day.

It will increase your metabolism and also improve your

alertness, concentration, productivity and your chances

of needing to do overtime to make up for the work

you could have otherwise completed if only you had

eaten breakfast. If you can’t stomach food so early, try

a fruit smoothie instead. You will feel fuller throughout

the day.

There’s a common assumption that healthy food can’t

be yummy. If it’s good for you, it’s going to taste horrid.

This couldn’t be any further from the truth. Low-fat

dairy products such as yoghurt or light cheeses are

great to eat in small portions. Yoghurt is also great to

top over a small bowl of fruit and muesli for added

taste and to balance out the meal.

If you’re a fan of eating biscuits, why not skip them

and combine wholegrain crackers with a can of light

tuna or lean chicken instead? High-protein meals

combined with carbs are easier for the body to digest

and absorb the nutritional benefits. If you like snacking

while working, have some nuts or sesame thins readily

available on your desk. These are much better choices

than calorie-packed muesli bars or chocolate.

Similarly, coffee is a key contributor to adding on

the pounds. Ask yourself how many coffees do you

consume each day? Most people can’t stop at one

and rely on three. If this is you, wean yourself off it by

cutting back slowly. And when you order your next

coffee, opt for skim milk and say no to the sugar if you

can.

By avoiding sugary, high-fat and calorie-saturated foods

and beverages, you are already cutting out a large

portion of calories in your daily intake. The key is not to

cut out food completely or eat less, but rather choose

healthier options. That way you’re still eating the same

amount, but fewer calories; a much easier way to keep

your waistline in shape.

Lastly, come lunch time, try and get out and move

around instead of eating at your desk where you’re

more inclined to over eat. Get involved in a lunch time

soccer game with colleagues or go for a quick stroll and

get some fresh air so you feel rejuvenated.
