A defining moment in my career
My career-defining moments involved starting long processes with a payoff coming much later. One most important career-defining moment for me was when I realised the power of making the right choices and displaying my risk-taking characteristics. 

This led me to my next move of working for myself, although that has come with its own challenges, struggling through the constantly shifting sands, falling, bouncing back, refreshing, and reframing my goals. 

My career-defining moment was the catalyst of the woman I am today. Resilience, courage and grit have kept me going. I continue to seize opportunities when they present themselves. Along this journey, I have worked and studied with incredible people who have shaped and changed me to be a better leader.

    I used to try candy-coat things, but no longer: giving birth is less painful, less bloody and infinitely quicker than getting your first novel published. If you haven’t been smothered under the avalanche of “Dear Author, Thank you for your submission, but …” slips by the time you find a publisher, you and your manuscript will still have to face the pitiless glint of your editor’s scythe.

    Heraclitus said, “The only thing that is constant is change.” My entire life and career have been and continue to be defined by a series of radical changes; a series of moments, based on numerous epiphanies that have led to an amazing journey of personal transformation and an exploration of experiencing the true nature of who we are.
