The Production Portal

Happiest of Mondays! Eclipse season is here baby, and it's beaconing us to come home... Irony would have it that we begin the eclipse season with the 10/10 portal tomorrow, which is set to bring powerful energies for either manifesting or healing, it's your choice, ask yourself what it is you need?... The number 10 in numerology is symbolic for cycle completions... So whatever it is you are completing, know that a re-birth is around the corner or the start of something new. A little tip, when we manifest we tend to sit in our logic, so if manifestations haven't been manifesting for you, ask yourself these questions: -Have you envisioned and really felt into your manifestations? -Do you truly believe within your body, mind, and spirit what it is you are calling in? or is there fear attached? -If there is fear attached, where does the fear stem from? Is it serving you? If not, look at it from all angles and let it go! This Libra season has brought about a lot of healing energies in order to bring our energy back into balance, can you feel it? We've all been asked to take a step back and really get attuned to ourselves, in order to re-build the new on more solid foundations. The message from spirit was very strong in this video... let go of the past, release whatever needs to be released, and be present... When we are present we work more in divine flow...

Where we are stepping more and more into our authentic selves... powerful powerful time... really lean on the energies at this time to release parts of yourself that have been holding you back... its time for you to now become whole... Thank the past for all the lessons learnt for growth, take back your power from situations sending compassion and love to all (including yourself), and let go... in order to make room for the real you....YOU'VE ARRIVED!

Happiest of Mondays! The word Harbinger came to me in the bush, from my spirit guides… at the time I hadn’t known the meaning… then I googled it once I was back in the car, and the meaning is: “A person or a thing that announces or signals the approach of another… a forerunner of something…” In this process of being a Harbinger I tend to mirror that which possibly some people are not quite ready to face, which can be understandably uncomfortable… On the flip side, then there are some ready to make the change, and dive in effortlessly. The key takeaway is that we’re all on our own paths (very much at different stages), and we’re all just doing the best that we can with the resources we have (myself included)…❤️ Have a think, is there something or someone that mirrors your limiting beliefs or patterns that you have been called to change? How does this make you feel? Where are you feeling it in your body? Have you felt this before, and when specifically? Now with a new fresh look at your circumstance / scenario, is there a way that you can look at it from a different perspective? In order for you to release it, move forward and be free! To all the harbingers, conscious teachers, edge walkers, intellectual shamans, change makers, healers, and unconscious mirrors that walk amongst us, using love as your guide…Thankyou… you are a true blessing to the human collective… as it is because of you (and your energy) that people are able to awaken, heal and evolve to a more unified, conscious, and healthier way of living 🙏 Thankyou ❤️ If you are interested in Life Coaching with me, book a consult here: https://www.theproductionportal.com.au/coaching-and-consultation If you are already on an awakened/conscious path, Subscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@theproductionportal/videos

This new moon is all about tapping into your divine feminine, slowing down, tuning into your intuition and feeling your way through, in order to create change for ourselves. As this is a new moon in Leo, hear the Lion's roar, as we are called to find inner strength, and move towards our bliss... Thankyou Reaya for your insight!

Happy Monday Everyone, I hope you all had a beautiful weekend! I wanted to share with you an awesome documentary that I watched the weekend called “Finding Joe” (link here: https://youtu.be/s8nFACrLxr0) which is all about Joseph Campbell’s theory (or should I say VERY TRUE DEPICTION) of “The Hero’s Journey”… an empowering and inspiring documentary, which sheds insight on how we can tap into our own innate wisdom and gifts… when we heed the call, push past fear, and follow our BLISS BABY… So far removed from agenda’s fed to us from a young age, which served their purpose… the time is NOW to reconnect with ourselves and start building a life that is built on more truthful and loving structures… ask yourself these questions about current industry structures: -Are these structures loving and kind? -Do these structures have everyone’s best interests at heart? -Do these structures promote team work and connection? -Are these structures built on authenticity and truth? Then move into the WHAT IF? What if I could create positive change with like minded people within my community? What if? And what if sustainable solutions were available? And what if these sustainable solutions were implemented?… what if? While I have you, another clip that ties in beautifully to ‘Finding Joe’ is an interview Russell Brand did with Jordan Peterson, Canadian Psychologist, Author and Media Commentator (Link Here: https://youtu.be/E6pMVT9m2Rg)…Enjoy! Thats all from me… have an inspired week folks! #theproductionportal #findingyourbliss #theherosjourney#AHeroLiesInYou

Let me tell you a little story that I haven’t shared before. It’s time. At the beginning of my journey, I had been given downloads/dreams from my spirit team, and spent my weekends (unpaid) for a good year and a half, interviewing people from the community, researching, and creating sustainable production workflows to create change for my colleagues, which would pave the way for more balance… in a world, where it seemed that imbalances were becoming the new norm. Eager to make change for those around me, as I too was on a path of deep healing and self-discovery… my heart chakra was opened, and I wanted to help. I had a deep knowing (still do) that this is my soul purpose…and although its evolved slightly since the start (because I’ve evolved), the sentiment still remains the same… when you BELIEVE it, DREAM it, SEE it, and FEEL it…you KNOW it, and ain’t nobody gonna take that away from me ❤️🙏. On this journey of creating change for myself, and the world around me, I started to realise that the systemic changes / downloads I was being given were methods that Leaders were quite capable of making themselves…but I soon realised that it’s only when we truly want change, and start voicing and actioning it as a unified community (compassionately) that changes will be made… it’s the same sentiment with the human psyche… only is it that when we acknowledge there’s an issue internally, do we start changing habits, beliefs, and breaking cycles baby!! So it became very prevalent to me that in order to create change, I had to BE the change, by breaking the cycle for myself, walking the walk, and speaking my truth…Which takes time, healing, compassion for self and others, and true inner strength…I mean it’s taken me about 5 years to get to this point. So I get it! Why am I so passionate about this? Well my friends this process is bigger than you and me (it always has been)…It’s about creating productive, nurturing, knowledge

Happy Tuesday All! Our next guest is a true innovator with heart, introducing you all to the lovely Oakley Kwon. Oakley sits on the board of WIFT Australia (Women In Film + TV) as QLD Co-Representative and Treasurer, Oakley is also an award winning Actor appearing in “Hungry Ghosts”, Oakley’s The President of The QLD Community Television Association Inc, and finally Oakley Heads up Loom Films… phew… Oakley... is there anything you haven't done? ha ha! I think that it’s clear that Oakley is passionate about the Film + TV industry, and this truly shows in her passion to help with diversity and innovation… Thankyou Oakley! In this interview Oakley chats to us about WIFT and all the great initiatives they have in the pipeline this year... We talk about the resurgence of Community Television, and utilising Community Television as a training ground for crew, during the skills shortage… and other stuff… This is part 1 of our 4 part interview with Oakley that we’ll be playing out the next coming weeks… Thankyou Oakley for sharing your story and wonderful insight with the Film + TV Community!

Happy Monday Folks! I hope you all had a beautiful weekend. For months I’ve been hearing that the world is on way to moving out of old co-dependent relationship paradigms and settling into more interdependent (healthier) ones…check out this article which beautifully compares the two https://psychcentral.com/lib/codependency-vs-interdependency#codependence You may say, Chantsy my relationships are not co-dependent.. and I would say good on you! But are you referring to all your relationships?… including love, work, and friendships (to name a few)? Or are you purely referring to one relationship type? If you are mastering all three you could teach me a thing or two…because occasionally I slip back into old work patterns/habits… where my body negatively reacts, because it’s no longer aligned with me, and then I get myself into a pickle… but that’s ok, life is a daily practice, and we are all just finding our way through… no shame in that… because no one is perfect… and that’s the perfection of life! I like most these days am retraining my brain to move past a lack / scarcity mindset… into more freeing templates… I.e not working because I NEED money, but going BEYOND that, working because I LOVE what I do, because the project aligns with me (from a belief, and ethical standpoint), there is reciprocity/ balance, I respect the people I’m working with and vice versa, and most importantly I’m helping people, who WANT to be helped… you get it? I know I have been banging on about this a lot in my videos, but interdependence in relationships can be achieved… when we know WHO we are, know HOW we want to live our life, and WHO it is we want to surround ourselves with… because all we TRULY desire is WITHIN US baby…so we got to look after ourselves and our inner sanctum! #theproductionportal #interdependentrelationships #ahealthierandharmoniouslife #bethechangeyouwishtosee

This supermoon in Aquarius on the 2nd of August @ 4.31am in Sydney, asks us to look deep within. What is it that we need to purify within us and within our external perifery? What is in alignment with us, and what isn't? Using your intuition as a guide, really feel into this time and use it to pivot you into a more aligned life...

We conclude our chat with Jason Lawrence (Organisational Development, Culture and Diversity, Education and Organisation Development Service, South West Sydney Local Health District) on performance management systems… I'm a big believer that performance management systems on Productions are best implemented and managed by Heads of Departments, feeding into Head Office middle management tiers. But what would performance management systems on a production look like? Again my two sense, but I feel like a large portion of performance management systems are one on one meetings... again implemented and managed by Heads of Departments at the beginning, middle and end of a production... with a sprinkle of staff reward. I could go into detail on feedback loops, and how to pull the puzzle together as a workflow... but folks if you need my help, you know where I am... Thanks again Jase for your insight... a brilliant chat that I've wanted to have for a very long time... and glad you were at the helm! #performancemanagementsystems #theproductionportal #jasonlawrence #filmandtv #productionworkflows

We continue our chat with Jason Lawrence (Organisational Development, Culture and Diversity, Education and Organisation Development Service, South West Sydney Local Health District) to find out a little more about performance management systems…and how they can benefit the Film + TV community… I’ve included a short here. If you want to catch the full video where Jason talks about Key Performance Indicators, Coaching etc, CLICK HERE: https://youtu.be/JZM8G8ZzUv4 This week we integrate "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" into Performance Management Systems. Here is an example of Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of needs from simplypsychology.org (2023) ttps://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html. Within this video we talk about Maslow adding Transcendental (a word I haven't grasped verbalising! ha ha) to his hierarchy of needs. Here's the definition according to the Cambridge Dictionary: "A transcendental experience, event, object, or idea is extremely special and unusual and cannot be understood in ordinary ways" Interesting that this has been a common theory of Scholars throughout time which has never been publicised… however is now resurfacing through conscious teachers like Joe Dispenza, Billy Carson to name a few. In my opinion the sooner we realise that greatness lies within each and every one of us, the more we can assist others in realising their own greatness! Enjoy your weekend! #theproductionportal #jasonlawrence #maslowshierarchyofneeds #performancemanagementsystems

Tuesday 18th July 2023 at 4.31am (AEST) we have a new moon in Cancer, where we are integrating everything that we have learnt over the years in order to come back home to ourselves. This is the time where we are letting go of people/places and things that aren’t in alignment, to honour ourselves and come back home to our true self. This is a time where we need to get clear on what it is we want in our lives... and follow it through with actions, words, intentions, and thoughts. We are also experiencing a shift in North and South Nodes… As the North Node moves out of Taurus and into Aries and the South Node out of Scorpio and into balanced (and logical) Libra. This is a time where we take stock from Karmic lessons learnt and step more and more into our purpose… The energy in the air today is firing, and has a strong pull, if you are feeling it, just flow into the day, and keep internal balance. Set those new moon intentions, and as we are in Cancer season… think about setting those intentions by a body of water if you can… Thanks Reaya for your insight and beautiful energy as always!

Key to business strategy and culture is the implementation of employee performance management systems, within organisations, consisting of employee training, development, and feedback processes. According to The Department of Commerce USA (2023) "The performance management process... reflects a partnership in which managers share responsibility for developing their employees in such a way that enables employees to make contributions to the organization. It is a clearly defined process for managing people that will result in success for both the individual and the organization". Over the next 3 weeks, I chat to Jason Lawrence (Organisational Development, Culture and Diversity, Education and Organisation Development Service, South West Sydney Local Health District) to find out a little more about performance management systems…and how they can benefit the Film + TV community… In a nutshell here's how I believe implementation of performance management systems across the Film + TV industry will benefit the sector 1. The implementation of open communication and feedback loops within an organisation or industry, generates safety, honesty, harmony, and trust within work environments 2. The structure enables Leaders to empower their staff through coaching and development, and be empowered in doing so 3. KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) can be a handy tool utilised to calculate incremental pay increases for crew… something that can be used across all companies, which will avoid major spikes in rates… or rate inconsistency... #theproductionportal #jasonlawrence #performancemanagementsystems #benefitingeveryone #creatingsafetytrustandhonesty

The dance of the divine masculine and divine feminine energies within each of us is a topic that has strangely slipped through the cracks of the schooling system…and yet seems to be pivotal amongst a rapidly changing world… where our ego has no place to drive, where forcing /striving, and leading with power and autocratic structures are no longer working in a society where love, freedom, community, harmony, simplicity, and balance are now at the forefront of people’s desires. So in order to break down the old irrelevant structures we are being asked to balance out our own internal masculine and feminine energies to not only create internal harmony but dually external harmony…as what is created internally is mirrored externally. Did you know that each of us internally have a more prominent MASCULINE or FEMININE archetype? Which I might add has absolutely NO AFFILIATION with however it is that you choose to identify to the external world…However in order to nurture your own needs, it is absolutely pertinent that your prominent archetype is healthy and MUST be supported by a healthy dose of the opposite archetype…in order to find internal stability, balance, support, happiness and external flow… This dance of the divine masculine and feminine energies is something that I have been focused on consciously balancing for about 7 months now, and have had positive results in conscious awareness. So I ask, is it pertinent for Leaders to dance the dance of both healthy divine feminine and divine masculine energies in order to thrive in leadership? And to more importantly create a ripple affect, of healthy creativity, balance, support, stability and happiness amongst the teams that they are leading? I hear you say what do healthy masculine and feminine traits or archetypes look like? Take a look at this article which explains it all so beautifully: https://chopra.com/articles/how-to-find-the-balance-between-your-masculine-feminine-energy #divinefeminine #d

Happy Monday! Tonight sees the supermoon in Capricorn, it’s time to focus our attention on aligning to our highest potential / our highest good. Steer your focus and attention away from others, away from all distraction, and away from all the things that have gone wrong on your path. Its time to make peace with the past, sit in the present re-evaluate, and re-align to what it is you want in your life. This supermoon packs a punch as we are closer than ever to the galactic centre. I have already witnessed the intensity of this supermoon by chatting to people around me who are steering away from jobs, people and places that no longer align with them, and moving more and more into their happiness and sovereignty.
