Overview

Are you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you have no time for yourself? Are you wondering how to regain your energy and find joy? Being a leader today is hard. We are pulled in so many directions, with big responsibilities and many livelihoods reliant on us. It may surprise you that our first responsibility is to care for ourselves. To make choices that are right for us, instead of right for others. With blurred boundaries between work and life, it can be difficult to find time for this. We've glorified being busy to become over-scheduled and over-committed and feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. Fully Connected is for leaders who want to take back ownership of their lives and reclaim their health and energy. On their terms. When you figure out what lights you up and how to say no to what doesn't bring you joy, you become a better leader as you energise your co-workers, communicate with conviction and create a culture of belonging. In these pages Mel Kettle shares practical, simple and actionable ideas for you to increase your self-awareness, understand what motivates you and prioritise self-care so you can become a fully connected leader.

Fully Connected is a timely reminder to leaders at all levels to take time out to focus on themselves. Leaders are missing a big opportunity in expending significant time and energy to support others to thrive. If their wellbeing is not in play, their risk of burnout increases. With the rapidly accelerating pace of change in today's business world, now is the time for leaders to take action and connect with themselves. Janelle Delaney, Partner and Executive Sponsor for Women@IBM, IBM Australia If there was ever a time for a book like this, it's now. After two years of Covid lockdowns and remote working, it can feel harder than ever to be fully connected with ourselves and our people. This book is a great reminder of the importance of taking time out to be fully connected and practical ideas you can put in place to make it happen. The book draws on a collection of stories, research and personal experiences. These are combined with reflection questions to take you on a journey of discovery which Mel articulates with humour and fun. I recommend this book if you are looking for ways to feel more Fully Connected with yourself and those around you. Michelle van Raalte, Continuous Improvement Lead, Complaint Transformation, ANZ This book couldn't have come at a better time! Women business owners and leaders know how to juggle, but the post-pandemic world has stretched even the most dextrous. Mel Kettle's ability to connect with those around her, and to cut through the layers of complications and challenges make Fully Connected a relatable and workable guide to reclaiming the joy in our lives. It's a contemporary survival guide - for women and for all leaders. Cheryl Gray, CEO, Women's Network Australia
