I was invited by ISACA to do a Book Teaser session on April 18th in the beautiful KPMG offices in Sydney, Australia. This was attended by some 80 cyber professionals in person and there were a further 30-40 that had joined remotely. It was such an a wesome evening with great engagement and discussion on the Aspiring CISO and CIO career path. This was a terrific opportunity to test run my materials  for the upcoming launch event and many keynotes that  I have committed to. Some of the overwhelming comments from the ISACA session included: I'm looking forward to learn from leaders like you to become a CISO in future.  Please include in your book how prioritise 24 hrs time to best use in our present days  Looking forward to your experience to craft successful cybersecurity professional and executives. ( Annie T) Thanks for the inspiring presentation tonight and for addressing my question about acquiring knowledge, developing emotional intelligence, and dedicating time to your family

Why did I write this book?

In my career I have had the privilege of working in many companies, countries and industries.  During my working life there have been some world class leaders that I worked with and have learnt some great approaches to helping each leader become the best version of myself. My career has been a series of reinventing myself and lifelong learning. This has required me to get 'comfortable being uncomfortable', and this has accelerated my growth to make me reflect on what it is that is my current brand and what do I want this to be.
