She also aims to inspire organisations to embrace a new era of leadership - one that leads with kindness, trust and authenticity and one that has more women at the helm. A wife, mother of three, and chronic high-achiever, Colleen left school at the age of 16 and became state manager of a national retail brand within a few short years.

This book is part autobiography, sharing Colleen's life journey, including how her upbringing shaped her.
