Lisa StandevenLisa Standeven is a successful teacher, coach, author, and entrepreneur who has worked with learners and leaders of all kinds, helping them achieve their potential and overcome both real and fear-based limitations. Her experience of losing a limb in workplace accident provided Lisa with strategies to rise above struggles to mediocrity and live a life of inspiration and flow. With her genuine nature, her straight-talking style, and her trademark humour, Lisa presents a new look at success and what it means to have true abundance.

After living through trauma, raising a family, thriving in her chosen career, building new businesses, and reaching the pinnacle of her athletic career, Lisa shared her strategies for overcoming life's challenges in her first book, The Gift of Adversity: Stories and Strategies to Turn Trials into Triumphs. Now, she reflects on the concept of success and the conditioning that keeps us clamouring for the elusive brass ring, suggesting that the proverbial hamster wheel of "hustle and achieve" does not have to keep you trapped. This is a must read for those looking to revisit the markers of traditional success and invite new and fulfilling experiences into their lives.
