Reviews
'In writing The Limited Edition Leader, Paula Dunn has developed a wonderful resource for women, regardless of age or status. While it is an ideal resource for teenage girls and their mothers, this book provides valuable insights and practical advice for all women seeking to conquer life with a confident mindset. Paula details instances from her own life and the struggles she experienced in school, with her family, and as a young professional seeking fulfilment and success in her career. She deals with these issues openly and honestly and tracks her pathway to becoming the leading lady in her own life. As Paula states: As parents we want to raise daughters who are the best versions of themselves that they can be. The Limited Edition Leader provides a valuable pathway to making this goal a reality, by supporting our daughters to be themselves, and to have the courage and the confidence to conquer life.' - Dr Frank Pitt, former principal, St Mary Star of the Sea College 'The Limited Edition Leader, holds a mirror up to the challenges facing many girls and young women and their families across varied communities. Driven by her own experiences, challenges and triumphs, Paula Dunn's book navigates multiple pathways, through rocky adolescence to parenthood, offering new perspectives. She explores the power of affirmation, resilience and female agency at a time of change that requires young women to demonstrate courage, commitment and solidarity. I commend Paula on her tenacity in confronting the social and emotional paradigms that inhibit our young women from thriving.' - Tanya Appleby, principal, St Ursula's College, Toowoomba 'Paula's brilliant book is brimming with lightbulb moments. Her wise words about perfectionism and external validation really resonated with me: Why didn't my career progression, titles and accolades give me a sense of fulfilment? So many of us forget to celebrate our accomplishments. We simply move on to the next challenge and the exhausting, soul-destroying cycle continues. I'm one of those people who's always been defined by her career. Finding definition in values instead creates new opportunities for growth. These are wise words that I will pass on to my teenage daughter. I also appreciate the narrative about being your own leading lady , by working on yourself from within. This is important advice for girls and women alike. Overall, what I enjoyed most about this book was its scientific perspective. This is not a you go, girl! exhortation. Rather, Paula takes robust scientific research and explains it in layperson's terms, to support the next generation of teenage girls. Highly recommended!' - Tracey Spicer, global keynote speaker/emcee, media and presentation trainer, author and broadcaster 'Paula brings a scientific mind to her own self-reflection. Her explanation of Gen Xers brings clarity to generational differences. Instead of a desire to let herself off the hook, Paula pays grace forward by giving her portion to future women while they are still girls. Paula's vulnerable style matches Brene Brown's sprinkling of four-letter words - it is like a female confessional of honesty. You are not Dunn understanding the female crisis until you have read Paula's book.' - Michael Grinder, nonverbal communications expert and National Director of NLP in Education, USA 'In writing this book Paula Dunn has given us a gift. The result is a framework and lessons on how get in touch with the true essence of who you are and to how to live your best life. Through a series of raw and personal revelations, Paula demonstrates that we are amazing just as we are, and we should honour that by being true to ourselves. So many of the lessons resonate with me - I learned them the hard way during my own journey. I wish I'd had access to a book like this, so I could have learned them as a teenager. I especially love the lessons around impostor syndrome, putting self-doubt aside and seeing in yourself what others see in you, taking action and letting your values define you. I highly recommend reading this book and then taking action. Thank you, Paula. You truly are a Limited Edition Leader.' - Julie Hyam Elliott, Williamson Fellow, managing director, board chair and company director
