Wise Women

I attended the Macquarie University Leadership Conference  last week.My idea of heaven! I love learning and I love meeting and hearing successful women talk about their own leadership journey . I was inspired by Andrea Culligan who gave her fast-track to leadership tips during one of the sessions.

Status means nothing and has no influence on your future

Andrea was a self confessed high school drop out who arrived in Australia, from the northern hemisphere with $300, escaping life dramas and a seemingly bleak future.Since then, over the last 10 years Andrea has established Unimail, an agency that specialises in the field of graduate attraction and engagement. She has taken this concept to Canada. In 2009 she was awarded Telstra NSW Young Businesswoman of the Year. Andrea is rightly proud of her achievements with no initial social, economic or educational  advantages.

Self Awareness

Knowing yourself is essential to business success.Andrea has surrounded herself with people who complement  her strengths and balance her weaknesses.

Set High Expectations for Yourself

Andrea has set high goals and standards of behaviour and hard work for herself  and is uncompromising about how this has set her up for ongoing success

Make Mistakes

Andrea says she has learnt as much  from what didn't work ,as what did  work over the last 10 years.

Be Open to Every Opportunity, Experience and New Ideas

Andrea feels very strongly that this has enabled her to see opportunities and develop innovative and creative ways to promote her brand and her business.

Fabulous and timeless tips from a courageous, talented , hard working inspiring leader.
