“I thought this was just the normal thing to do, to plunge into the unknown. It’s what my mother did. She left her career and moved into the family business. And so for me, there was a great deal of comfort in starting my own venture. I've come to realise that the only safe element in anything is you. Only you know yourself, only you can back yourself and only you know what you're capable of. And I think what we tend to get tied to our existing success, our history. You owe it to yourself to go out there and be the best director and producer of your own life. And I knew I needed to pursue my goals, but also invest in the vessel that was me along the way. When I left my corporate career and moved out of financial services into the world of start-ups, I thought really long and hard about how I could do it with longevity. I invested in myself like a professional athlete, with training, continual learning, meditation and connecting with mentors.” In the latest episode of Leading Women, host Shivani Gopal, CEO and Founder of Elladex is in the hot seat. Catch the full conversation with Fiona McAuley, Head of @CommBank Women in Focus linked in the comments below. #CBAWomeninFocus

Love this Shivani Gopal! Your mum’s early role modelling and the philosophy of career development like training as an athlete are both fantastic.
