Mel Kettle is the author of Fully Connected, a practical guide for leaders who want to reclaim their health and energy and lead in a way that energises the people around them. A leadership communication strategist, mentor to executives and sought-after speaker and trainer, Mel puts self-leadership at the heart of her work, on the belief that we lead ourselves before we can lead others. That view came from surviving work-related loneliness, stress and burnout in her late 20s and a life-threatening melanoma in her early 40s. Her clients include IRESS, Toll, ANZ and Arup. Mel is one of the authors of the Expert Author Community, where she wrote alongside others turning serious ideas into meaningful books.
