Jillian Haslam, Motivational Speaker on Resilience
FROM LIVING UNDER A FLIGHT OF STEPS TO RENOWNED GLOBAL SPEAKER

But it's also filled with undertones of grit and determination in equal measure: lessons that she espouses in her motivational talks and keynotes today to inspire individuals and organisations to overcome setbacks and thrive amidst challenges, change and disruption.
