Testimonials
Kaley has uniquely combined entertainment, knowledge and efficiency in an inspirational manual that is easy for everyone to read. Her personality shines through her words which ultimately creates a caring core that is different from all other inspirational guides. 100% recommend.
Vinay Samuel Entrepreneur. Founder and CEO of Zetaris
She had a genuine belief in helping other. The fact that Kaley is learning from others and passing on lessons is inspirational. I hope her lessons and learnings reach far and wide as we need people like Kaley to succeed and inspire.
David Klingberg Director and Principal at Smart Planning and Design Town Planner
I had experimented with stepping outside of my comfort zone several times along the years. But what Kaley did sounded out of the ordinary. Until I read her journey. Its not an impossible achievement. Its doable, its approachable, and most of all, it enhances the power of human connection, which we all seem to lose day by day connected to our smartphones.
Catherine Wong International Pianist and Ambassador of British-Chinese Co-music
I can pick who will make it, and I believe Kaley will. The concept of 100 meetings with interesting and successful people will benefit her in spades. If Kaley knew or could learn what we know now, but at her young age, with her passion and enthusiasm she would own the free world.
Ray Malone CEO of AMA Group
Take a leaf out of Kaleys book. Put yourself out there and try to meet as many strangers as you can in a year, or in a lifetime. Some will become friends, some acquaintances, and some you wont see again, but at least youll enjoy the ride.
Nicolina Lademann Principal at marshalls+dent+wilmoth
Anyone can come up with a great idea, yet taking action on the idea and following through is a totally different game. It takes discipline, sacrifice, great belief in oneself and a will to succeed. Kaley, just like a champion athlete, was able to put in the effort and hours in order to better herself.
Tansel Ali Four-time Australian Memory Champion
Kaleys 100 Lunches With Strangers is a refreshing and inspirational read. Kaley offered her personal journeys as practical guidance for everyone to meet new friends, exchange new ideas, build connections, explore possibilities and welcome challenges. I highly recommend you read Kaleys new book!
Jackie Cheng PhD Drug development professional
It takes a tremendous amount of awareness to firstly identify your own blind spots, and an equal amount of resourcefulness to do something about it. Kaley clearly has both. Identifying a blind spot to her circle of influence, and utilizing not only an impressive idea and top gun execution has resulted in Kaley becoming the influencer in her circle.
James Grima CEO at Positive Training Solutions Pty Ltd
I am a true believer that relationships make the world go around. Well Kaley took this to another level with 100 lunches with strangers. Kaley at a very young age, has learnt more than what most learn in a lifetime and now she is sharing it with the world. Truly inspirational young lady who took going outside your comfort zone to another level and now Kaley shares her learnings with us all. Definitely get on board, read the book, learn and take action! As Kaley says, Step out of your comfort zone and transform your life.
Simon Rabl Director at LBARS Pty Ltd
Meet new people. Cultivate relationships. Dedicate and invest time in learning from others. To acknowledge that WHO you know is not limited or fixed in life. Kaley set a fantastic example of being a super-networker and super-connector. Constantly expanding who she knows. The huge results of this will multiply like compound interest for decades to come.
Derek Stewart Founder of Future of Australia Podcast
Kaleys adventurous experimentation reminds us the power of having a growth mindset and stepping outside of our comfort zone. This book is a practical guide that inspires us to explore life and discover our inner potential.
Dr. Regina Choy PhD Scientist, pharmaceutical industry professional
Inspiring read! The power of networking on display. Kaley shows us that life begins at the end of your comfort zone with her book 100 Lunches. This is a smart and entertaining story detailing Kaleys personal journey, and each chapter contains useful learnings, tips, reminders and insight. Nothing ventured, nothing gained give it a read.
Kim Booth Career and Performance Coach at Coach Kim
Kaleys introduction unexpectedly popped up in LinkedIn and her inspirational story of a once shy introvert and now a bold, confident networker really impressed me and I just had to meet with her. Kaleys story gets even more inspirational and its impossible to resist befriending her.
Shannon Hautot Founder and director at OrderMate
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Either way, its an experience. The most important thing is we continue to challenge ourselves, step out of our comfort zone and enjoy the journey.
I would like to dedicate this book to my boss, my mentor, and my best friend, John Di Natale , who gave me the first glimpse of my potential and offered me invaluable support, opportunities and encouragement throughout my struggle to realise it.
