Gina Gardiner
I am a multiple No 1 Best Selling Author, Motivational Speaker, Empowerment Coach, Founder of The Thrive Together Tribe and creator of The Enlightened Leadership Programme. My journey has not been an easy one. I became the youngest Deputy Head Teacher (Deputy Principal) of the largest school in the district aged 29 in September 1982. I had a serious ski accident in February 1983 when I fell between 150 and 200 feet down a black run when the mogul I was sitting on gave way. I became the Head Teacher of the school 7 months later when the Head died suddenly in his sleep. I ran the school for 21 years mostly from a wheelchair. Necessity is the mother of invention. The greatest gift of my disability was the creation of a very different approach to helping people step into their genuine power. This facilitated a unique and highly effective leadership programme, based on mutual respect and people taking radical responsibility for their performance and shared responsibility for success.
