After a devastating horse-riding accident that left her possibly paralyzed, Hacia Atherton didn't just bounce back—she galloped toward greatness. While doctors said she might never walk, this fierce Australian defied the odds, teaching herself to walk again and even running a half-marathon.
But Hacia's real superpower? Turning workplace toxicity into trillion-dollar solutions. As the first female CEO of a major Australian plumbing company, she discovered that fixing broken company culture doesn't just heal hearts, it heals bottom lines. Her secret sauce combines positive psychology with hard accounting facts, proving that voluntary turnover alone costs the US economy $1 trillion annually.
Her book reveals the game-changing strategy of bridging conflicting viewpoints within teams, transforming tension into momentum. Instead of silencing different perspectives, Hacia teaches leaders to orchestrate them like a symphony, creating harmony that drives both performance and profits.
From hospital bed to boardroom, Hacia proves that sometimes our greatest setbacks become our most powerful comebacks. Her message is crystal clear: respect every voice, embrace differences, and watch your culture and cash flow soar.
