Skipped #yaysofourlives this week as we\u2019ve had some builders at home which don\u2019t create the loveliest background noises for podcasting, but today\u2019s guest well and truly makes up for the gap. It\u2019s been probably nearly eight years since I first heard of Holly Ransom and started closely following her journey but today was the very first time I\u2019ve had the privilege of chatting with her directly. If she\u2019d been inspiring and influencing me from afar with her intellect, drive and leadership, her impact was tenfold in this conversation and I feel so lucky to be able to share that with some of you. Holly has about as much difficulty describing what she does as I do but that\u2019s probably why we get along so well facing a lifelong inability not to try everything and anything (and all at once). She is a specialist in disruptive strategy, a private company director and advocate for social and economic inclusion, a businesswoman, a globally recognised speaker, podcaster and just this year also an author.\n\nStarting with an Arts/Law degree for similar reasons as I did, Holly\u2019s born flair for leadership and insatiable curiosity ultimately led her away from the law and into a constantly evolving career path with more accolades than I have time to list here. She was named one of Australia\u2019s 100 Most Influential Women by the Australian Financial Review, she has delivered a Peace Charter to the Dalai Lama, interviewed Barack Obama on stage and was Sir Richard Branson\u2019s nominee for Wired Magazine\u2019s \u2018Smart List\u2019 of Future Game Changers to watch in 2017. In 2019 she was awarded the US Embassy\u2019s Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Leadership Excellence. She won the Fulbright Scholarship to complete her Masters at Harvard University from which she graduated and has now poured the culmination of all those experiences into a fabulous book, The Leading Edge. I\u2019ll let her tell you the rest herself in the most articulate and engaging words! I hope you enjoy\n\nHOLLY'S NEW BOOK, THE LEADING EDGE\n\n+ Follow Sarah here\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\n+ Join our Facebook community here\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!
