Yes, I realise how horrible the grammar is in that title; I don't care. Surprising, I know. Shannah Kennedy and Collen Callander have just released a new book called ‘Elevate: Unlock Your Extraordinary Potential' and apart from the great discussion we had about their book, work and philosophy, what I loved about these ladies is that, at a time when some people are starting to slow down and wind down (in their fifties), these two powerhouses are building new businesses products and programs, breathing life into new ideas and creations, learning new things, writing new books, falling down, getting up, taking chances and inspiring others (of all ages) to do the same.

Shannah Kennedy, a high performance coach and her client - former CEO of Sportsgirl joined forces to bring the best skills in the business of life and leadership together under the pillars of life leadership and longevity for high performance living without the burnout. Their mission is to empower individuals to live their greatest lives and achieve their ultimate best without succumbing to burnout. This movement is aptly named Human Elevation. In this episode, we delve into their collaboration and discuss the importance of high-performance living, finding balance, and avoiding burnout. The wisdom and insights shared by Shannah and Colleen during our conversation felt like a coaching session in itself, and I'm confident that you'll also get so much value from their words.

With me today are two powerhouse women who have joined forces to create The Masterplan - Shannah Kennedy and Colleen Callander. What I love about these women is that they are in their 50s and they have embraced the power of this to collaborate and create a powerful partnership to make it count together. Shannah and Colleen can see that people are facing burnout right now and they aim to provide the space for them to reset, refocus and reinvigorate, to create a plan their future self will thank them for. These women wholly embrace their age in a really powerful way - they believe it's the beginning, not the end, which I think is just such an incredible message. In our conversation, Colleen and Shannah explain how they decided to come together after a long history of professional work and friendship. They explain how this next chapter, working together on The Masterplan is a balance of working in an area they are passionate about, and having fun. Colleen and Shannah have really done the foundational work across their lifetime, which is now allowing them to pass on their wisdom in new and powerful ways. Transformational messages and takeaways from our conversation include: The secret behind making collaboration work Being the best person we can be starts with self. We need to build the foundations of ourselves so we can show up for our friends, our family and our employees. If we treat ourselves as elite athletes of life, then the results personally and professionally can be immense. What we need to focus on to prevent burnout. The importance of giving our brain a map, and how this allows us to step off the reactionary cycle. Where Shannah and Colleen find their role models and inspiration We also hear about the incredible walking adventures that Colleen and Shannah are offering as part of The Masterplan, and the opportunity these present to step into planning and living our future vision. Everything these women are doing is so powerful in terms of enabling people to support themselves.

Today I had the pleasure of welcoming Colleen Callander to this podcast. She is most well known for being the big boss at Sportsgirl and Sussan, holding the CEO position in both companies for many years – working her way right up to the top, starting from a retail position in her late teens.She has now stepped back from those roles and is constantly re-inventing herself armed with all of the experience she gained from many years as a leader (including the highs and the lows), and also from doing her own inner self work. Colleen shares so many “write downable” ideas and insights during this chat that will inspire us to lead with kindness, go for it no matter who we are or how old we are, be confident in our approach and so much more. I thought she was great, and I may have even referred to her as a legend a few times during this conversation.

Colleen's sees her most important and influential role in life as wife to Nick, mother of three beautiful humans: Jake, Trent, and Macey. Geelong born and raised, Colleen was brought up in a hard-working business focused family, where there was always a job to do. After working in family businesses from as young as she could remember, Colleen had her first taste of retail at the age of 16.

I hope you enjoyed our Power Your Inner Runner podcast series, it was such a pleasure to create and I've loved seeing all of your learnings and reflections. I did have the second miniseries of the year ready for #yaysofourlives this week, but it's been pushed back slightly to align with some official announcements relating to the guests, so it's back to your regular scheduling for now but keep your ears peeled. Today's guest is one of those people that I feel so lucky to be able to share with you because a one on one session with such a trail-blazing industry leader is so highly coveted, so we're very lucky to have her on the show. If you haven't heard of Colleen Callander, you've definitely encountered her work through 20 years across iconic brands Sussan and Sportsgirl, 13 of which she was in the top spot as CEO. You might assume she was a born leader with her sights set on something like an MBA to work her way to the top, but Colleen is all the more fascinating for not having finished school at all and starting as a retail assistant on the floor at Just Jeans. I also love how she perceives leadership as a lifestyle choice rather than something intrinsic that you have to be born with – you don't have to be an extrovert or even in a senior position to be a leader, you can work hard and speak through your results and she certainly has done so. There's also some very useful reflections on burnout leading to three months away from work altogether touching on all our favourite themes of unravelling our identity from productivity and achievement. And of course, then the bold choice to step away from the dream job when it starts to become a comfort zone to embark on a new chapter and restart as a beginner. Colleen is such a delight to learn from and I hope you guys get as much out of our chat as I did. + Follow Colleen here + Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah + Join our Facebook community here + Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!

LEADERSHIP AS A LIFESTYLE DATE: 8 September 2021 HOST: David Webley, Founder & MD of Granite Consulting GUEST: Colleen Callander – Keynote Speaker, Director, Author of 'Leader By Design' In this episode David speak to Colleen Callander (former Sportsgirl CEO, Founder of Mentor Me Women and Author of ‘Leader By Design') and covers topics such as the foundations of leadership, how kindness can be used by leaders, how to recognise and avoid burnout, and building the confidence to be a better leader. INSIGHT 1 Confidence is a skill and not a trait. It's therefore something that can grow and be nurtured and developed. INSIGHT 2 A degree of chaos and disruption is healthy and helps to lift resilience and innovation. However there is a significant difference between disruptive and destructive leadership and an organisation will only grow from the former and not the latter. INSIGHT 3 Although kindness is often perceived as weakness, the opposite is true. It requires courage to make strong and tough decisions with kindness.

In this episode of the ‘Making It Count' podcast, we sit down with Colleen Callander. She is the Former Sportsgirl CEO, Founder of Mentor Me Women and Author of ‘Leader by Design'. Colleen starts by sharing her passion for working and how she used a kind leadership style to become recognised by her results.  ‘There are so many attributes that make up a good strong leader', says Colleen. ‘For me, I'm passionate about the foundations of great leadership; self-awareness, values and purpose. It's about building a strong home.' The old style of leadership has expired. We are now in the era of kindness, compassion, humility and collaboration. I don't believe we have enough leaders leading in this new style of leadership – Kindness is the new superpower and the new currency' says Colleen, ‘staff need to feel safe, empowered and inspired.' Kindness needs to extend to ourselves as leaders. In 2007, Colleen was the acting general manager of SportsGirl and had three young children. ‘I was a Red Ferrari which had never been serviced or been refuelled' says Colleen, ‘I said yes to everything, no matter how full my plate was and, by age 36 I was burnt out.' She took 4 months off and re-gained the balance in her life. ‘Burn out is not one size fits all - It can impact us all differently but, it comes back to self-care and setting boundaries.' ‘It's your people who drive success' says Colleen, 'People with purpose, equal passion and profit.' Creating an environment where staff feel supported and cared for as human beings is key. Colleen's book, ‘Leader by Design', was written for female leaders to inspire confidence and self-belief. ‘I want people to become all they can be in both business, and in life.'  So, sit back and enjoy this episode as Colleen Callander Makes It Count as she leads with kindness.  Links: Making It Count https://www.juliehyde.com.au/ Join Julie Hyde on Facebook Follow @juliehydeleads on Instagram  Connect with Julie on LinkedIn Connect with Colleen Callander Mentor Me Programs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hard work, passion and business nous were the qualities which had propelled Colleen Callander to the dizzying heights of CEO of two iconic Australian fashion brands, Sportsgirl and Sussan. But, she very nearly didn't get there. Colleen was saying yes to everyone and everything – trying to please everyone – and that resulted in her hitting the proverbial brick wall. Yep, she was completely exhausted! And needed time away to look after herself. Colleen's written a book about her experience. It's called Leader by Design, with inspiring lessons from her 30 years in retail.

It shares how her upbringing influenced the women and leader she is today and how she nearly threw it all away when she faced burnout in 2007. Something many women can relate to. In the early years of her career, she looked up to and admired people with titles, level of authority and positions of power, labelling them leaders.

In fact, Colleen shares that you don't even need a title to be a leader. We have the ability to lead every day, with every action, every reaction, every interaction and every decision.   For Leaders Global Resources:  www.forleadersglobal.com Helping Organisations Build Leaders Worth Following & Culture Worth Reproducing   To get in contact with us and talk about how we can help you build leaders worth, dynamic teams and culture worth reproducing email us here: hello@forleadersglobal.com
