“I first discovered Arianna Huffington about three years ago at a talk she was giving on sustainable success. Her story is familiar to many women who “burn the candle at both ends” – juggling career & family with no time left over for self-attention, let alone self-awareness. Knowing what she created, and what it must have taken to make such a huge success out of the Huffington Post, I was blown away by how authentic and accessible she was. As a role model for the modern business woman, the fact that she is stepping out to recreate our leadership paradigms, encouraging women to give more to themselves and therefore perpetuate a more integrated approach to success, is nothing short of revolutionary.” ~Chantal Pierrat
