When she walked away from a successful career at a Fortune 100 company to find more meaning, purpose, and fun, Lisa Dadd transformed more than her job. Her decision to invest in what she was meant to be in life, rather than settle for what she was doing for a living, inspired her to interview individuals who had also turned in their day jobs to follow their passions. In her first book, Finding Fabulous, Paving the Path between Paycheck and Passion, Lisa Dadd shares what she learned from those interviews and dares us to consider whether or not we are living our own version of fabulous.
Taking her own advice, Lisa has intentionally redesigned her life to allow more time and flexibility to travel, learn new skills, and explore new business opportunities. Blurring the lines between work and play, Lisa’s greatest inspirations have come from her adventures driving across North America with her dog and hiking to places like the Base Camp of Mt. Everest and Machu Picchu. Splitting her time between her lakefront cottage in Northern Ontario and sunny Southern California, Lisa exemplifies what Finding Fabulous is all about.
Currently, Lisa writes, consults and speaks on topics related to life and career redesign. Combining fifteen years of strategic business skills with real-life experience, Lisa provides practical, relevant advice for anyone tired of feeling stuck and ready to take action.
