      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Gabrielle Dolan launched her own practice in 2013 after successfully co-founding and then building One Thousand & One into Australia's leading storytelling company.

      Over the last decade, Gabrielle has worked with thousands of high-profile leaders from around Australia and the world, helping them become more real leaders and communicators. She is a highly sought after international mentor and key- note speaker on storytelling and leadership.

      Before running her own company, Gabrielle held various senior leadership roles at the National Australia Bank and was responsible for leading major organisational change.

      Gabrielle is the co-author of Hooked: How Leaders Connect, Engage and Inspire with Storytelling and co-author of Eliminate Death by PowerPoint.

      She is a graduate from the Harvard Kennedy School of Executive Education in the Art and Practice of Leadership Development program. Her other academic qualifications include a master's degree in Management and Leadership from Swinburne University and an associate diploma in Education and Training from the University of Melbourne.

      In 2015 Gabrielle became an Australian and New Zealand Partner at Thought Leaders Global, where she works with organisations to help them gain a competitive edge through thought leadership. She was also nominated in Telstra's Business Woman of the Year awards.

      When she is not working in her practice, she can be found working in her vegetable garden at her 25-acre rural property located on the southern coast of New South Wales. She believes that if there were less manure in business and more manure in vegie gardens, the world would be a better place.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      A book is very rarely a solo effort and this is no exception.

      I would firstly like to thank my friend of over 30 years Gail Holstock, who undertook the vast majority of the research for Ignite. Her research and suggestions gave weight to my thoughts and concepts and was the catalyst for many inclusions in this book.

      A huge thanks to graphic designer extraordinaire Jodie Brennan, who takes my scrappy drawings of models and designs them so they look cool and sleek.

      The book was brought up a notch or three by Jo Stewart, who undertook the initial editing process. Her work has helped turn this book into something I am very proud of and I thank her for her tough love.

      I would also like to thank Lucy Raymond from Wiley for her ongoing support for my writing and initial guidance when the book was still in its conceptual stage. Thanks also to Ingrid, Alice, Pete and the rest of the Wiley team who provided valuable insights throughout the process.

      Thanks
