Отрывок из книги
I didn’t intend to sit down and write such a personal book. After my last book Daring & Disruptive, which focuses on my entrepreneurial evolution, I had every intention of making my next book a how-to guide to building a business; the ins and outs, the dos and don’ts. But then this disruptor got distracted…
Like many of my light bulb moments, it came about when I least expected it – at 10.24pm on a Friday to be exact, when I was meant to be winding down for bed. I’d just had one of the most beautiful afternoons of my life. It was late September and after a long winter (by Aussie standards), the air was warmer than it had been for months and my partner Jack and I decided to play truant from our respective offices, sneaking off to a sandy cove near our house for the first ocean swim of the season.

Those of you who’ve read Daring & Disruptive might notice a difference in the tone and look of this book. This one is purposefully much softer, more feminine and more vulnerable. It’s about family, friends, relationships, love, travel and embracing every side of yourself. It bids farewell to the ’80s power-suited superwoman who could walk like a man and talk like a man (unless you happen to like shoulder pads, in which case, embrace that aspect).
I’ve been exploring the notion of masculine and feminine energy over the past few years. I am absolutely no expert and am figuring it out as I go, from observing, feeling and experiencing, but I think it’s an important topic and I delve into it in this book because I spent so many years confused by the dual genders of my personality, the meek and the macho, the beauty and the beast.
