Geraldine Cox, AM, daughter of a South Australian milkman, joined the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1970 and served 18 years in Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, Iran and the USA.
In 1995 events in her life found her in Cambodia 25 years after she had left it, working for the First Prime Minister, before the 1997 coup catapulted her into running an orphanage full time. Geraldine’s original experiences in Cambodia never left her and on a return visit in 1993 she became involved in helping an orphaned Cambodian child. From that small beginning Geraldine founded what is now the Sunrise Children’s Villages.
She divides her time between living at Sunrise Children’s Village in Cambodia and travelling to raise funds for her projects. After resigning from the government in 1987 she worked for 8 years with The Chase Manhattan Bank in Sydney before deciding to live in Cambodia in 1996.
Pan Macmillan published Geraldine’s autobiography, Home Is Where The Heart Is in 2000 and Hollywood bought the rights to make a feature film based on her book. The documentary, My Khmer Heart, won the Hollywood Film Festival Documentary of the Year Award in 2000 and has since been bought and screened by HBO and Discovery Cable Channels. Her story has been featured on Australian Television over the last few years on Australian Story, The Sunday Program, This Is Your Life, Four Corners, Today Tonight, The 7.30 Report and 60 Minutes.

Dr. Adam Fraser
The Art of Flow

Let’s face it, life is getting faster and faster and shows no signs of slowing down. Business is more competitive now than any other time in history. So what's the answer? Dr Adam Fraser believes the answer is developing The Art of FLOW.
Companies and individuals now more than ever need to out create, out innovate and out market their competition. The result of this is a workforce that is having serious issues around sustaining performance. The fall out is people and companies loosing the ability to focus, be creative and develop clear strategies.
Combining years of work with Olympic athletes, the armed forces and business professionals of all levels Dr Adam Fraser perfected The Art of FLOW. A philosphy designed to be a real time solution to stress and burn out, that doesn’t involve taking time out or adding another task to our already full to do list!
FLOW is a high performance state also known as being “In the Zone”. At the heart of flow we find the key to getting more done for longer periods of time, whilst reducing stress levels, preventing burnout and keeping our teams engaged. FLOW is not a band aid solution to stress, but provides a practical vehicle to enable recovery from poor working habits. Or, as Dr Adam would put it, checking your Habits into Rehab!
The six key outcomes in developing The Art of FLOW are:
- Thoughts that are realistic, accurate and optimistic.
- Working with your own energy levels to sustain performance.
- Developing habits that actually support your desired outcome.
- The ability to Focus despite external events or distractions.
- Emotions that are positive and functional.
- Showing up every time to be present to the task at hand.
Dr Adam Fraser is one of Australia’s leading educators, researchers and thought leaders in the area of human performance. Author of 'Sugar Daddy' and a regular in the media and has been featured in the Australian Finacial Review and Business Review Weekly.He is also a regular presenter on Sunrise and the Today show.
