Inspiring Models
Celebrating Inspiring Australian Women
- Deconstructing Success -
Inspiring Models - a monthly celebration of inspiring Australian women who have dedicated their lives to making a difference. Women who have created change for our greater good, both in Australia and around the globe.
Here we deconstruct how these purposeful pioneers overcame dire circumstances, often enduring great uncertainty and adversity, with the specific intention to address challenges and, in so doing demonstrate and highlight that we can overcome life’s great challenges. In NLP we are constantly seeking models of excellence. Through these shared stories inspiring Australian women give us modelling - we choose to call them Quantum Models.
Enjoy this series as you witness our Quantum Models through their stories and discover how the NLP tools that have been built from deconstructing the genius of success are also revealed within the achievements of inspiring Australian women.

Doing What Works and Stopping What Doesn't - Mary McKillop
Mary Mackillop – a formidable Australian pioneer if ever there was one – is a great example of someone who saw the obstacles and then changed her behaviour to ensure she stayed on the road to achieving her vision.
