Developing a business name that reflected who we were as individuals, business partners and captured what we offer was no easy feat! We wanted to develop a name that paid homage to our country heritages whilst being memorable for its uniqueness. We wanted to demonstrate that we appreciated self-reflection was important but was no more or no less important than looking to the future.
Cue Mirrored Horizons.
Read MoreWhat constitutes a difficult conversation for someone? Typically, this is where people’s thoughts, feelings, and perceptions sit opposite to something or someone else’s ideals. What a difficult conversation is for one will not be difficult for another. What is a difficult conversation for one is connected to the paradigms which have formed over time and is strongly connected to the persons values and priorities in life. As unique individuals we all possess different upbringings and experiences that we carry with us into our workplaces and thus, every interaction we have with others
Read MoreEvery experience we encounter and gain exposure to that alters our perspective and hence, our own realities which sees us evolve as a person. When you consider this in organizational sense every experience, interaction, team expansions we are exposed to as a business evolves the culture and environment. The notion of Cultural Evolution explores how culture (like everything on earth) is essentially a living organism as it changes, responds, grows, or shrinks in response to continuous stimuli.

Read MoreWe are Alignment Consultants operating in the space traditionally referred to as Human Resources or People and Culture. Our difference is that everything we do is founded in Positive Psychology and designed for simplicity with the business’s operations/success at the front of our decision making instead of creating bureaucratic processes that merely exist because businesses think they “should” to have them.
Read MoreThe reality is, it’s a very simple answer yet we continue to see it slip to the bottom of personal and business priority lists when in all actuality, it should be placed at the very top. With the help of our Alignment Workshop, we walked one of our partners through how to embrace empowerment and demonstrated how a small modification can have a profound impact.
Read MoreWe created this short video to help those in search of a job in these uncertain times. We were recently appointed to help one of our clients recruit for a part-time position in the outer suburbs of Melbourne and we were inundated with applications. This video is our way of potentially helping those thirteen hundred people who missed out on the position and will hopefully give those on the job search more confidence and knowledge when considering their future applications.
Read MoreWhat is it like to look at yourself in the mirror and not like who you are becoming? I can tell you. Just a little over 12 months ago I was working in an environment where I sacrificed more than just my happiness. I sacrificed who I was and who I wanted to be. It was a gradual slip into the murky waters of compromising my values and undertaking work that no longer filled me with pride and fulfilment.

We’re wading our way through the 2020 small business waters the best we know how to. Our blog discusses the current climate of uncertainty and our approach as a small business.
Mirrored Horizons, like many other small businesses, have undoubtedly shared in a tumultuous start to the year. As a new service-based business, we have felt the impacts of these uncertain times and the flow-on effects to not only the economy but to people’s social and behavioural no
Read MoreThrough Mirrored Horizons’ work this year, it has been often liberating and sometimes concerning when we have seen empowerment embraced and when we have seen it abandoned in business environments. The presence of empowerment is often the difference between maintaining successful relationships, results, and practices within business or diving headfirst into a pit of distrust, constant questioning and a lack of productivity.

There is no doubt that we have all had varying experiences of being told as children to be “thankful for what you have.” The question is, have we ever really paid close enough attention to the impact it can have over our mindset and truly appreciating its power?
Saturday the 21st of September, 2019 is world gratitude day. Mirrored Horizons saw this as the perfect opportunity to explore the power of gratitude and how it has helped shape our business to date.
Read MoreMirrored Horizons is a safe place where individuals and businesses alike have the opportunity to reflect, reset and plan for what’s on their next horizon. In many of MH’s workshops we touch on human emotion and how to direct this into positive outcome. Today, some exploratory writings on a human emotion that MH is all too familiar with.
Welcome to the realm of guilt. It’s a place where self-questioning and anxiety are unfortunately all too common. But look, guilt gets a bad rap, it can often spur us on to do good. It’s true, guilt can act as a motivator.
