    ABOUT COLLEEN CALLANDER: https://www.colleencallander.com.au
     
    Colleen Callander – Former Sportsgirl CEO and Founder of Mentor Me Women and Author of ‘LEADER BY DESIGN’ Geelong born and raised, Colleen was brought up in a hard-working business focused family, where there was always a job to do. Colleen had her first taste of retail at the age of 16 and unbeknownst to her at the time this summer job would be the start of a retail career spanning over 30 years. Colleen is an award-winning CEO, has wealth of knowledge and a proven track record in building brands, creating a winning culture, building environments that allows people to be inspired and empowered. Colleen is now sharing not only the past 13 years experience as a CEO of two of Australia’s iconic fashion brands but also the past 30 years of her retail career. Colleen is an inspiration to women of all generations and wants to encourage women globally to have the confidence to believe in themselves, their ability, share their voice and find the superpower within. Colleen wants to inspire and empower women to lead in their own lives whether that be in boardrooms, organisations, communities or even the home. She wants them to believe in the power within and that it is possible to become the leader they always wanted to be in business and in life and together create a new era of leadership, one that leads with kindness, humility, self-awareness, on one that puts people at the heart of everything we do. Colleen is a LEADER BY DESIGN - (the title of her book) The book is her story from leaving school at the age of 16 to becoming CEO and everything in between. It shares how her upbringing influenced the women and leader she is today and how she nearly threw it all away when she faced burnout in 2007. Something many women can relate to. In the early years of her career, she looked up to and admired people with titles, level of authority and positions of power, labelling them leaders. What she learnt over time is that it is not someone’s title, level of authority or position of power that automatically qualifies them for leadership. In fact, Colleen shares that you don’t even need a title to be a leader. We have the ability to lead every day, with every action, every reaction, every interaction and every decision.

  • Amy Silver on her new book called “The Loudest Guest” which centres around the idea of managing our relationship and response to fear
    FLG_S2_E5 www.forleadersglobal.com
     
    How do we overcome fear, uncertainty or worry, especially considering the current world climate? Amy Silver dives into the the art of learning how to use fear in a helpful way, instead of letting fear use you. Amy talks through how to listen and hold space for fear, rather than being dominated by it. At the end of the day, fear is an inevitable and inescapable emotion in our human experience, and Amy takes us on a journey to re-frame it! On this episode of the For Leaders Global podcast, we hear about Amy’s new book, “The loudest guest”. With pen to paper, and a whole lot of academic expertise, Amy creatively explains the metaphor of fear being the loudest guest at the dinner party table, dominating the airtime. Through this, Amy invites us to self-reflect on our own personal relationship to fear, and how we respond to it. Furthermore, Amy explains the necessity of having a flexible backup plan when moving through fear, so you don’t get stuck in it, rather you’ll find growth, opportunity, pleasure & pride on the other side. This show is for the leader wanting to be able to change and control their relationship with fear so they can develop resilience, confidence, and have an increased understanding of vulnerability. In turn, the rewards will be huge. Applying this content has the potential to help you take back the focus, work the room, and be the best “dinner party” host you could be.

    Julia Steel on finding courage to turn good ideas into great outcomes through solving problems.
    Julia’s big idea is called ‘Nerves of Steel’. This idea is centred around having the courage to embrace the unknowns, embrace new ideas, and embrace the opportunities that come across your path. Julia’s strategy for this includes curiosity, exploration, and choosing to move and take action. On this episode, you’ll be sparked with possibility and hope, that you really have what it takes to accomplish the seemingly out of reach. Julia unpacks a simple way to identify what a great idea is by asking the question “Does this idea solve a problem?”. From there, Julia explains how the idea needs to be tested, measured and then set into motion according to your personal domain of influence. Julia also articulates the helpfulness of using visualisation techniques and how to work backwards from the future you want to see. This show is for the leader who wants to see their ideas become solidified into successful realities and quality outcomes.
