The Days Before You Went Away

 

Caring for my father helped me heal the wounds of the past

Healing the past, one goodbye at a time.

As the black sheep of the family, I never expected to be the one caring for my father in his final days. Yet, there I was, caught between the past I thought I had buried and the present I was so desperately holding on to. The Days Before You Went Away isn’t just about saying goodbye; it’s about the years that led to that moment, shaped by a difficult childhood and a complicated relationship with my mother.

This book is a deeply personal journey, one I took while caring for my father and one I now share with you. In telling this story, I found healing, and in it, I hope you find understanding. For anyone who has felt like the odd one out, who has struggled with their family dynamic, this is a story about discovering that sometimes, the journey home is the one you least expect to take.

It’s a story for anyone who has been through, or is going through, the difficult journey of caring for a dying parent, showing that the patterns we see are not isolated, but part of a universal experience.

Through Teddy’s Eyes

A year in two worlds

In 1971-72, as a young migrant in Tennant Creek, Faith found herself unexpectedly drawn into the heart of the Warumungu community. Working alongside their respected leader, Teddy Plummer, she witnessed his unwavering determination to secure his people’s place and identity in a society that had long oppressed them.

Through Teddy’s eyes is the author’s personal account of this pivotal time, navigating the stark conflicts between traditional Warumungu ways and the dominant white legal system—and the pervasive racism that cast a shadow over their lives in makeshift camps.

Through her friendship with Teddy, Faith was privy to customs and tribal matters rarely shared with outsiders. This memoir is a testament to Teddy Plummer, a man revered in Tennant Creek for his tireless efforts and the hope he sought to inspire for a brighter future—a hope his children still hold dear.

Through Teddy’s eyes offers a rare glimpse into a crucial period for the Aboriginal people of Tennant Creek and will resonate with anyone  interested in Australian cultural and historical memoirs.

The Friendly Takeover

 

How artificial influence is automating leadership

As AI quietly takes over management and begins to simulate leadership, the real risk isn’t machines replacing people: it’s influence without accountability.

Algorithms already schedule work, monitor performance, and shape careers. Now AI is beginning to simulate care, trust, and influence, ushering in hyper-automated leadership. The Friendly Takeover explains how automation reshapes control, agency, and culture, and why outcomes depend less on the tech than on governance and incentives.

Setting aside the tools and hype of the new AI world, businesses now need to look at how automated management and “friendly” AI can reshape trust and agency at work. With The Friendly Takeover, executives and HR leaders will learn responsible leadership with our five leadership paradoxes:

1. Control and commitment
2. Precision and connection
3. Agency and automation
4. Freedom and constraint
5. Private gain and public cost

Written for senior leaders and decision-makers who are navigating algorithmic management, workforce analytics, and automation, The Friendly Takeover will provide your workplace with a practical framework for balancing efficiency, accountability, and human agency in increasingly automated workplaces.

Edifying Success

 

A self-help book inviting young fathers to redefine success and how to track their progress

It’s about filtering what we want, to optimise what we can become.

Edifying Success is the first book in a series of experiences of Profit & Learning that are intended for future release. This specific experience aims to invoke insightful reflection on the various hungers we face in life so as to better determine the helpfulness of our most common responses to those cravings.

It argues that we can all unintentionally pursue our own demise to the extent we remain blind to the desensitising effects of feeding ‘instant gratification’ and that we also possess a surprisingly large capacity for personal change and improvement that becomes unlocked as we learn how to edify each of our hungers instead of gratify them.

Once edification is understood, we come to see why it’s important to deprioritise things we ‘want to have’ for things we ‘want to do’ and why both should be trumped by the things we ‘want to be’. When ‘what we’re becoming’ is clearly seen as our top priority we’re suddenly far more impervious to distraction by less helpful metrics of progress, like ‘quantity of possessions’ or ‘how we compare to others’. We learn what actions and measures edify us ‘in the now’.

About the Author

 

Charles lives in Brisbane Australia and felt the desperate need to write Edifying Success after spending more than 15 years in the Financial Planning industry where it became painfully evident how many people are trying to solve life problems with money solutions.

The comatose living brought on by not edifying his own hunger for success eventually grew too painful to bear so he resigned in 2019 to finish the book he started five years earlier in an effort to help others escape from comatose living themselves.

He loves philosophy and theology but perhaps neither as much as a good bakery.
