Change can be an overwhelming and daunting experience. People think that big change
requires big changes, toughness or willpower, but
Growing Forward shows you that
conscious awareness and new perspectives, combined with even small steps can create
big shifts in very gentle ways
. It’s a nudge rather than a push, and the momentum you get
will keep you moving forward.

Growing Forward is a practical and comprehensive guide to navigating change positively
and constructively. With simple yet powerful and thought provoking exercises you will learn
to harness your own unique qualities in new ways. The result is
resourcefulness and agency.
You will gain a genuine appreciation for the opportunities that come with change and be
able to create a life that fits who you are and where you want to be.

Charlotte Hillenbrand, an Australian author, is no stranger to change herself. She is a lawyer
who became an international airline pilot, lived and worked in six countries, and then
set a course to become an author, speaker, mentor and coach. High achieving and high performing, just like
you, she shows that strength and softness can go hand in hand. You can relax into the
knowledge that the small step that you take will take you further than the big step you
hesitate forever to take.

Drawing on her experiences and her passion for human potential, the author synthesises
applied neuroscience and positive psychology and delivers a caring companion through
difficult phases of your life. Illustrated by stories from her own life, this book is the author’s
outstretched hand to anyone who feels they have lost their bearings for one reason or
another. It takes the pressure off the big questions and will leave you grateful and ready for
your next step.

I work with neuro-leadership...and can say; this book is very helpful.

The author delivers practical and easy ways to really bring about change. Her own personal stories make everything in the book feel genuine and plausible. It encourages the reader to take on the exercises and their own situation.

The book makes me pause and reflect. I am reminded of my own promise to never let my fears rule my life but to change what I need in order to live at my full capacity.

I warmly recommend this book to anyone who wants to find the best version of themselves." ---
Johanna Gittne, leadership developer, behavioural scientist and author.


"Regardless of your reason for reading this book, congratulate yourself, because you have made a good choice. It will take you on a journey, and the co-captain at the helm is trustworthy, wise and most importantly, well-equipped to guide and support you as you take the controls." ---
Kate Witteeven, PhD, Author, Coach and Mental Health Academic

"Growing Forward is an easy to read, practical handbook on how to deal with, understand and improve life's challenges and apparent setbacks. I love the "plane speak" and plain speak for its no-nonsense approach to dealing with life and the curve balls that come with it.

Charlotte has a gift for writing it as raw and real as it gets.

A great read which I highly recommend to anyone wanting to take charge of their thoughts and emotions, and to better understand themselves to become their greatest potential." ---

"Read this book!

Charlotte shares generously her story and gives us powerful yet simple tools to tackle change from within. She shows us practical ways to take control of our thoughts so that we may determine our direction of travel and become the master of our own journey." ---
Christer Andersson, Founder of the ID Group | Serial entrepreneur

"In this book, the author beautifully takes the reader on a journey of self-reflection, self-discovery and self-appreciation. At the same time, the book is sprinkled with very interesting, fascinating and insightful examples and stories of Charlotte's personal life, her career as a pilot and life-changing circumstances.

What truly stood out to me when reading this book was her gentle approach of nudging the reader to embrace change and be resourceful.

She manages to evoke a mindset of ease and a genuine appreciation for the opportunities that come with change." ---
Anne Koopmann-Schmidt, Leadership Coach and Team Development Consultant

"As you would expect from an airline pilot, the author's approach is clear, well-structured and logical. It provides a practical path to living to your values, questioning your impact on the world and being all that you can be. It is easy to read, and the exercises are simple yet thought provoking.

You will get to the end of the book without realising the transformation that you have just experienced.

It is a practical step by step guide that takes the pressure off the big questions and will leave you grateful and ready for your next step." ---
Min Swan, President, Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network


"The author uses concepts from psychology and neuroscience, as well as her own experience, to illustrate how we can be our best selves with meaningful lives, even in the face of adversity. She does this in a way that is easy to understand and apply practically.

If what Charlotte suggests is put into practice, it has the potential to transform your life." ---

"Growing Forward is a sensible and caring companion through difficult phases of life change. It reinforces that change isn't about toughness and willpower, but about harnessing our unique individual qualities inside us.
