ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Fast-talking, funny and pulling no punches, Karen James is a Jersey girl turned social entrepreneur who has risen through the ranks of the global corporate world while honouring her most important role in life as a proud single mother and humanitarian. From building with her team a 10 000-strong community of women within a leading bank, to integrating not-for-profit leadership lessons into corporate boardrooms and growing a company from a turnover of $9 million to a turnover of $100 million, Karen is a fixer and a doer who matches head with heart — and makes it everyone's business to do the same.
In her debut book, Karen applies the same pragmatic logic to timeless questions around creating purpose and building an organisation with humanity at its heart.
Her company, BEact Pty Ltd, helps others to embed this same logic into their own lives and organisations to create a truly sustainable world that we can all benefit from.
