Quietly Powerful book awarded Australian Career Book Award for 2020!

It was an honour to attend the RSA Australian Career Book Awards virtual ceremony on 18th October as one of six finalists. And WOW, the Quietly Powerful book was awarded the Australian Career book award for 2020!

I was rather shocked as the five other finalists' books covered such a variety of important topics. Congratulations to the finalists Leah Mether, Caroline Sandford, Annie Stewart, Hunter Leonard and Suzanne Cremen, PhD!

I can't thank Lesley Williams and the team at Major Street Publishing enough for their support and encouragement. It felt strange not being able to give Lesley a hug after the announcement... she sent me a lovely bunch of flowers a few hours later instead - thank you!

A big thanks to convenor Lawrence Arnold FRSA who announced the Awarded Book with his thoughts on the book and the book launch last year, Philipa Duthie and Mark Strachan from RSA Oceania and to all the award panel members Warren Frehse, Kathryn Jackson (FCIPD, Senior EIA, FRSA), June Smith, Kaye Nolan, Sandy Hutchison, Career Transition Specialist and Sue Ellson for supporting the Award.
