ABOUT THE BOOK
What if we could inspire people everywhere to make a difference?
This question was the inspiration for creating this book. A vision to create something beautiful yet powerful that would inspire others to lead, take action, in their own lives and the work they do and to find ways to make the world a better place.
When you think of women making a difference, who comes to mind? Maybe Greta Thunberg, the young climate activist, or maybe Malala, the Pakistani education advocate, or perhaps Jane Goodall who spent years living with the Orangutans. But did you know there are everyday women making a difference all over the world? They might not be as famous as the women mentioned here, and you may not have heard of them, yet, but their dedication, determination and passion are often just as strong, and the impact they have can be felt far beyond their community.
Women making a difference highlights the importance of heart-centred leadership and the positive impact it can have on society and offers readers a collection of diverse perspectives and experiences from women who have created change across a range of fields and industries. The book aims to inspire and empower others who are called to make a difference through the work that they do by providing inspirational stories combined with practical advice, insights, and tools for success.
This book is a collection of stories for women by women focused on inspiring purpose, vision and leadership. Featuring real-life, relatable global role-models from all walks of life who are women changing the world through entrepreneurialism, education, conscious living, giving back, advocacy, innovation and more who had the courage to listen to the call to step into leadership and took action to make it happen!
