About the author
Coach, facilitator, speaker and Reiki Master (healer), Carol-Ann Hamilton is a pioneer-visionary who champions and enthuses people to live purposefully. Carol-Ann’s pathway into her true mission follows a 25-year corporate career in Fortune 500, entrepreneurial and consulting settings – where she applied organizational development and cultural transformation specialization to support leaders in fostering meaningful workplaces. But it’s really making a difference with individual clients across North America, Europe and Australia that ignites her passion. Nothing delights Carol-Ann more than unleashing others’ potential, evidenced by her motto: “Encouraging Your Greatness!” She is the author of The A to Z Guide to Soul-Inspiring Leadership, with James Norrie (Epic Press, 2003) plus a by-invitation contributor to The Courage to Succeed: inspiring stories from enterprising women (2004), Walking With The Wise for Entrepreneurs (2005) and Women Who Speak, Speak Out! (2006). Unlike her other volumes, Carol-Ann’s growth as a sandbox expert arrived one step at a time. For the five years this writing took, she learned to surmount her readers’ very obstacles. Curiously, when she placed the first word to page, she didn’t know how to compose half the book! Since then, Carol-Ann has stepped out of so many comfort zones she doesn’t know where the box is anymore. But she hasn’t looked back! That’s why in sharing her wealth of stories and examples – as well as proven resources like Questions for Reflection, Do’s and Don’ts and Action Exercises – she hopes this deeply personal yet widely practical work will form an irresistible blueprint to embolden readers to venture into the uncharted territory of their True Selves with open arms. Stay tuned for Carol-Ann’s Internet radio show and The Pissed-Off Journal TM due for publication in 2010. Ask her about The Opus and Gratitude Experiment movies which she facilitates as workshops world-wide.
