The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Colleen Callender founder of Mentor Me and former CEO of Sportsgirl.
Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show. Each week, I get to interview amazing people, who will share their inspiring stories of resilience. I dive deep into wonderful DNM’s with my very special guests, exploring their stories of how they have overcome adversity in their lives, professionally and personally.
Be ready to get inspired by daily rituals, golden nuggets, and actionable tools that can help us all to elevate our mindset, and be bigger than our setbacks. My intention for these sessions is to remind us that no matter what we are going through, we can overcome it, and discover what we are made of.
It is important to feel motivated and hopeful about the future. When we are positive we can be more creative, and innovative. Seeing our obstacles as opportunities, rising above the turbulence we can feel more ready to rebuild our mind, body, and lives after what has been a massive adjustment to 2020.
Introducing Colleen Callander – Founder of Mentor Me_women and Former Sportsgirl CEO
Geelong born and raised, Colleen was brought up in a hardworking business-focused family having her first taste of retail at the age of 16. Unbeknownst to her at the time this summer job would be the start of a retail career spanning over 30 years.
Colleen has a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record in building brands, creating a winning culture, building an environment that allows people to be inspired and empowered and is now sharing not only the past 13 years experience as a CEO but the past 30 years of her retail career.
Colleen is an inspiration to women of all generations and wants to encourage women globally to have the confidence to believe in themselves, their ability, share their voice and find the “Superpower within”.
Colleen wants to inspire and empower women to lead in their own lives whether that be in boardrooms, organisations, communities or even in the home. She wants women to believe in the power within and that it is possible to become the leader they always wanted to be in business and in life and together create a new era of leadership, one where we lead with kindness, humility, self-awareness, and one that puts people at the heart of everything we do.
In our very juicy interview, Colleen and I dive deep into some personal hurdles that she has had to face in her life, what rock bottom was like for her. and how she found the resilience to overcome it. She shares her moment when she had a turning point, and changed her setback into an opportunity. This mindset and new path led to her to become the inspiring and successful woman she is today. Colleen has achieved so much, what I love about her her is she is so humble and inspiring all at the same time. Her grounded energy is approachable and contagious and you can’t help but to feel at home with her.
After 13 years at Sportsgirl as their CEO, she is now embarking on a new project called The Mentor Me Program. Let me tell you all about it…
