Kate Isler Interview | Breaking Borders: A Remarkable Story of Adventure, Family, and Career Success

https://www.kateisler.com/ Kate Isler’s incredible story demonstrates how women can stop self-selecting out of opportunities and take the leap of faith to accomplish their dreams. Kate Isler navigated the male-dominated culture of the technology industry, breaking new global markets for Microsoft in their fast-paced, hyper-growth startup years in some of the most challenging regions in the world – all without a college degree or resources that many believe are necessary for success. Kate’s story is a fascinating adventure from her years as a naïve young adult through her unexpected global career at a time when corporations weren’t hiring women to represent their companies overseas. In Breaking Borders, Kate candidly shares: Her moments of success, failure, and very public mistakes. The struggle she faced to pivot her career in a completely new direction. How she overcame the disappointment of a failed startup by channeling her passion for supporting women. Her mission to inspire other women by building Be Bold, a women’s advocacy non-profit, from the ground up. Kate’s story is a guide for women who want to stop self-selecting out of opportunities because they "assume" they don't have the right education, connections, or skills to take a chance.

Warwick Fairfax Interview | Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance

https://crucibleleadership.com/ Before 1987, I was on a path to one day having the largest shareholding in the company and being chairman — possibly chief executive. After 1987, that all changed. I launched the AUS $2.25B takeover in August 1987 of John Fairfax Ltd., a large diversified media company that, at its height, included newspapers, television stations, radio stations, magazines, and newsprint mills. With The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age in Melbourne, and The Australian Financial Review, it had the equivalent of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal of Australia. By December 1987, the company was over AUS $1.5 billion in debt. The debt was so large that when Australia went through a recession in 1990, the company went bankrupt — and the company passed out of family control. It was the end of a dynasty. A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE. My book Crucible Leadership, Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance, published in 2021 by Mount Tabor Media, an imprint of Morgan James Publishing, documents my journey moving beyond my crucible in a lessons-learned format. It was a Wall Street Journal bestseller that also topped Amazon’s charts for business leadership, self-help and memoirs. My podcast, BEYOND THE CRUCIBLE, has produced more than 100 episodes, featuring guests as varied as an actor/director with an exclusive two-year deal with Netflix, the world’s foremost authority on resilience and a leadership coach and consultant whose own podcast has been identified by INC. as one of the Top 12 leadership podcasts in the world.
