We’re excited to be working with Sue Stockdale on the campaign for her new book, Explore: A Life of Adventure. We asked Sue our 5 questions to find out more about her, her book, and her vision:

1. Pitch in 10 - sell us your book in less than 10 words

Why being adventurous could change your life

2. Audience of One -  If you could choose ONE person to read your book who would it be and why? 

A mid-forties business executive who is wondering if there is more to work or life than they are currently experiencing. Maybe unfulfilled in work or their personal life and need to challenge themselves. Committed to achieving more but something stops them. EXPLORE will inspire and encourage them to step out of their comfort zone to be courageous in their risk-taking to try new things and take one step at a time.

3. Behind the Book - Who or what inspired you to write this book?

I was inspired to write this book because for over ten years I have interviewed inspiring people and told their stories. One day my literary agent and I were discussing new book ideas, and when I ran a few by her, she said, Sue why don’t you write about yourself. Your adventures will inspire others, and it’s about time you did that. Previously I had shied away from writing my own back story but it now felt that this was the right time, having been able to reflect after many years on what the key pieces were in my own story and how they all fitted together. Having done the inner reflection, I felt comfortable to share it with the world.

4. Guess what? Tell us one thing that readers might be surprised to hear about you. 

Readers might be surprised to know that I don’t like being cold. At home I am always the one to turn up the central heating.

5. The next chapter - what’s next for you?

The next chapter is to write a follow up book to this one. The focus will be on exploring one’s inner world, and what I have learned by doing that and helping others to explore their inner world. It will integrate all my coaching knowledge and experience of personal development in the last twenty years. To truly maximise our potential we need to embark on a journey in both the inner and outer worlds.
