Kylie, tell me about your vision.
So my vision through my work is to create this,
I have this concept of infinite leadership
where we create infinite opportunities
and infinite possibilities
through having a really solid self-reflective practice
and through creating this really deep self-awareness
because in order to lead others,
we've got to first lead ourselves
and then first to lead ourselves,
we've got to know ourselves.
My business elements for success
was founded off the Earl Nightingale quote,
that success is the progressive ongoing realization
of a worthy goal or ideal.
And there's lots of elements
that make up what that success looks like.
So my vision in that element is to help people
find what success looks like for them
and empower them to create the lives that they want
to whatever success looks like for them.
Now, I couldn't agree more.
Where would you say, Kylie, that this vision come from?
I think I've always been really, really passionate
about empowering people, even as a kid, I can remember.
And I think that led to my very first career,
which was education.
And so I think that I've always just had this,
I guess, service mentality about wanting to be of service
and help to others to empower themselves.
And I think through, unfortunately,
we learn through adversity, probably,
more than we learn through wonderful experiences.
And through my own experiences with adversity,
I think it's created a more solid vision
around the fact that the thing that stops people
being successful is usually themselves
for a variety of different reasons.
And it's their stories and their narratives
and their beliefs.
And so by helping them unpack that for themselves,
we can remove some of those barriers
and then they can be more successful.
That is awesome.
If I were to ask you, I mean,
is that the why of what you do?
So as an educator, I always thought my why was about
being a role, so principal, whatever.
And it was actually in 2019, I actually injured myself.
And I remember at the time being super devastated.
And then realizing that I had to recalibrate my why
because I thought my why was about education
and I realized it's about empowering.
And so as I've recrafted my role
and pivoted out of a government career into my own business,
I realized that that empowerment piece was the true why.
And it didn't matter what role I had,
it was always about empowering others
to be a better version of themselves,
to get the outcomes that they want.
Thank you for sharing that.
You mentioned infinite leadership.
I think I can see it on your website
what those all things are.
How did all of that,
how did all that come together?
Yeah.
Yeah, so probably again, through a little bit of
not getting the outcomes I wanted
and seeing other people really, really struggle
and seeing really talented people struggle,
where you were like, well, you know,
you've got the skills to do this job,
or you've got the skills to be this person
and finding a whole heap of roadblocks
or having a lot of struggles.
And what I realized was that, you know,
it starts from inside out, but we have to move through.
And there's a few different pillars
that seem to get in the way.
And I think that when we don't have a solid process
to have a really good reflection process
and to review and recalibrate,
we get a little bit lost in the process.
And as we evolve, you know,
infinite leadership is a constant evolution.
And so, you know, what got us here won't get us there.
And so what would happen is people would get
into a new position and they'd flounder.
So the further up the ladder,
they get into this new role,
they're often promoted on the role that they had
and the skills they had in that role.
And when they got up, I saw really good people struggle,
high-performing people struggle
because they didn't have this new process of,
who am I now in this particular role?
Or who do I need to be?
Or what are the skills and attributes?
And so Infinite came about through me understanding,
I guess, there's a quote by African gentleman
called Vusi Thimbukweo.
And he says that, identity is manmade,
so therefore it can be man-changed.
And I think so often we get into this narrative of,
I'm a failure or I'm this or I'm that,
and recognize that, you know,
identity served us to where we got to,
but we actually have choice and control
as to whether or not we wanna change
that version of ourselves
if we wanna elevate to the next level.
And so my identity was probably one of the biggest things
that ever held me back.
And it wasn't identities necessary I gave to myself,
it was people that gave me an identity,
you know, the labels that get bestowed upon you,
like being a woman in leadership
or being a single parent in leadership
or all of these different things pigeonholed by the people
that I had.
And so in order to, instead of feeling like
that was being done to me,
creating that, looking at that identity piece
allowed me to craft the version of myself I wanted to be
and then take the steps to get to where I wanted to be.
And then the infinite,
the letters in infinite are all different pillars,
so emotional intelligence, influence, innovation,
transformation, ecosystems,
and giving people a framework to look at if things,
if they're not getting to the next level,
what pillar are they struggling with most
and then what do they need to do to help elevate
and evolve into the next stage of their journey.
