    In this episode of Work Worth Doing, Peta sits down with Josh Stone, engineer turned business owner turned coach to talk honestly about the state of our industry and what it really takes to build sustainable, people-centred consultancies. From the “race to the bottom” in fees to burnout, leadership, culture, and redefining self-worth, Josh brings real insight shaped by decades of experience across engineering, surveying, planning, and architecture.

    Together, we explore how professionals can reclaim their value, set healthier boundaries, build stronger teams, and create businesses that support both their people and their purpose. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, undervalued, or stuck in old patterns, this conversation offers clarity, practical tools, and a reminder that meaningful change starts with speaking up and backing yourself


    Josh has a podcast called The IGNITE Podcast with Josh Stone

    We’re not just surveyors, we add a lot of value in a lot of different ways.

    Join two old surfies talking about the ocean, sharks, the love of the water and surveying..

    Born and Bred on the North Shore of Sydney, Dave Lovell, our quiet mild mannered Director and Surveyor at CMS Surveyors talks about how he ended up in Surveying, from mining Engineering to running a company, with over 80+ staff with life long friend. On the soap box about technology eradicating mentoring and training but making surveying easier and more accessible. Touching on the importance of lifelong learning, knowing your stuff, being a mentor not just a surveyor and what you need to grow your business.

    Some cracker one liners were quoted, "Have the right Mindset & you will get far, find the right company for you and Never be Afraid to be Challenged" …


    Lastly, Don’t get stressed on the little things!

    Shenanigans with Daz (Boothy) & TC (Thos)!
    Dec 12 2023

    Somewhere at an undisclosed location, there may have been a catch up of friends for a someone's 40th birthday...

    Darren (Booth) & Tom (Casey) drove the 4.5+ hours each to be here so I thought we should have a casual catch up...

    They may or may not have had a couple of beers before I arrived...

    Some interesting topics were discussed. Some silly buggers had!

    All in all this is just a catch up between friends caught on tape.

    I hope you enjoy this off the cuff chat between friends....
