UNCORKED

 

Leadership Lessons from the Italian Vineyard

What if the best leadership playbook was written not in boardrooms—but in Italian vineyards?

UNCORKED: Leadership Lessons from the Italian Vineyard explores how leaders preserve what matters, adapt under pressure and lead for what endures. Drawing on two thousand years of Italian viticulture, Jason Harfield uses the vineyard as a disciplined lens for understanding leadership in complex environments.

Across centuries, Italian winemakers have faced collapse, regulation, reinvention, reputation, succession, climate pressure and the constant challenge of growth without losing identity. Their stories reveal patterns that feel strikingly familiar to modern leaders: systems under pressure, tradition challenged by disruption, culture shaping whether change takes hold, and reputation depending on substance rather than image.

From the rise and fall of Roman Falernum to the bold innovators of Toscana, from monastic stewardship to the Super Tuscan revolution, UNCORKED offers twelve leadership lessons on judgement, timing, transformation, culture, legacy and long-term value. This is not a wine book. It is a leadership book seen through the lens of Italian viticulture.

Written for CEOs, board directors, executives, advisors and leaders navigating uncertainty, UNCORKED offers a refined and practical perspective on the work of leadership: making trade-offs under pressure, protecting what matters, adapting with integrity and sustaining performance without losing purpose.

Because the leaders who endure, like the finest wines, are not rushed. They are shaped by their environment and refined over time.

Alphington Bowls Club

 

The First 100 Years

Not your traditional bowls club

Founded in 1921 by ‘men of girth and mirth’, the Alphington Bowling Club is not your traditional bowls club, and this is not your traditional history. Located in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, the ABC lies on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people, whose ancestors lived on and cared for the land for over 60,000 years. The history of Alphington Bowls Club actually began well before 1921.

Author Peter Rushbrook has skilfully interwoven records related to the foundation of the club, together with historical events and identities from the Alphington area. Peter has captured the long-standing essence of the club and its transformation as a unique and dynamic community club.

The story is complimented by interviews with ABC’s living legends’ who reflect and share their club memories, such as why the ladies refused to make sandwiches for the men, a Sydney Mardi Gras tale, and how the club transformed and became the hub of the community.

About the Author

 

Peter Rushbrook is a retired university academic with an extensive background of researching, writing and publishing history within the genre of Australian adult and vocational education. His PhD (Monash University, 1995) examined the foundation of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) in Victoria and post-doctoral work over the following decades further refined his pioneering study. Along this journey Peter’s attention was occasionally diverted to consider military, family and biographical history.

For him, life as a professional historian was the fulfilment of a childhood passion for all things history and his career as a senior educator, researcher and staff leader was always considered a vocation rather than a job, so much so that he remained constantly surprised that he was actually paid to do something he really loved. Peter and wife Carole now live a rewardingly diverse life in Central Victoria. He meticulously tends his Japanese-style garden and plays bass guitar within the vibrant local music scene. He remains active as a researcher and writer and is Adjunct Associate Professor (Vocational Education and Training) in the School of Education at Charles Sturt University (Wagga Wagga Campus).

Old Sayings, Modern Problems

 

Ancient proverbs and sayings and why they still matter

Proverbs and sayings have been shared across the cultures and time since the very start.

Blunt or funny in their precise use of language, they have been a way to trade simple yet effective wisdom, helping us to avoid mistakes, make better choices, and live with just a bit more sense.

This book is a collection of such old sayings, paired with an illustration and interpretation to give the reader a better understanding of the wisdom each saying is trying to impart.

But not all is simple, and many proverbs are direct contradictions of one another, teaching us one important lesson: Real wisdom isn’t about blindly following one rule. It’s about knowing which saying to use, at which moment.

The Route to your Will

 

A Laypersons Guide to understanding a Legal Will

The guidebook for anyone making Janet Cribb their Will or thinking about it.

Through her career as a Specialist Willwriter, Janet Cribb found that many clients had the same questions when it came to getting their Will written, and that there is a vastness of misunderstanding and misinformation out there about Wills. The Route to your Will: A Laypersons Guide to understanding a Legal Will is here to clear the way and put some of these to rest.

While not a DIY handbook, this book simply answers the questions people often ask—and a few they don’t know to think about. You’ll be guided on how to get from A to B: from having no Will at all (or an out-ofdate one), to signing a new Will that makes things easier for your friends and family when you are gone, ensuring your wishes are heard and set in motion.

Learn how to ask the right questions of the right person at the right time, iron out the bumps and bends in the road, and get smoothly from A to B: a completed Will, signed and witnessed.

All comments and information found in this book are general in nature, and every country differs in their legal approach. The author advises all readers to make sure they find the relevant answers for their country from the mountain of information available on the internet, or to go and see someone who knows their stuff .

The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry–Go–Round

 

A mythic journey through the prisons of fear and a return to your true centre

What if the person you think you are is only half the story?
What if the prisons that bind you are not walls of stone, but whispers from your unconscious mind?

Have you noticed how certain patterns keep returning — the same arguments, the same disappointments, the same stories? You change jobs, you change partners, you move cities, even countries… and yet somehow, something familiar keeps repeating.

The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry-Go-Round is a mythic and visual journey through the Enneagram’s nine patterns, revealing how fear becomes identity and how unconscious reactions keep us circling old wounds.

Unlike traditional Enneagram books, this work does not approach the types as labels or descriptions alone. It transforms them into nine symbolic Kingdoms — living inner landscapes filled with Dragons, Archetypes, Rulers, Totems, and hidden Gardens of Essence. Through richly imagined drawings, story, symbol, and gentle wisdom, Hélène Grillot makes the unconscious visible.

This is not a book of self-improvement. It is a book of self-remembering. Each Kingdom reveals a different pattern of the human heart: the fear that whispers, the identity that forms around it, the survival strategy that repeats, and the forgotten essence waiting beneath it all.

At the centre of the journey lies the Sacred Garden of Essence — a place where nothing needs proving, only remembering. For readers drawn to the Enneagram, spiritual awakening, shadow work, inner healing, and the mystery of unconscious patterns, this book offers a different way forward: not through becoming someone new, but through seeing clearly what was never truly lost.

About the Author

 

Helene Grillot stands at the crossroads of psychology, spirituality, and myth. A French-born writernow based in Australia, she is a poet of consciousness and an Artisan of Awakening, whose workguides readers from the world of striving to the stillness of being.

Like Clarissa Pinkola Estés, she writes through archetypes and symbol; like Mark Nepo, shespeaks with contemplative intimacy. Yet her voice is uniquely her own – visionary and structured,born from direct mystical experience and a lifelong devotion to inner transformation.

She is the author of Just Be Yourself and The Last Nine Kingdoms of the Merry-Go-Round, a luminousexploration of the Nine Kingdoms of the Enneagram – reimagined as a mythic pilgrimagethrough the landscapes of fear and freedom. Through her companion course, Artisans ofAwakening, she invites others to recognise and release the unconscious patterns that quietly directtheir lives, and to awaken to the love that was never lost.

As an Artisan of Awakening, Helene’s voice does not instruct from above but invites fromwithin – revealing that true transformation is not self-improvement, but the art of rememberingwho we have always been.
