OUR LEADERSHIP GUIDES
OUR FOUNDER - FELICITY
What if the rules about “what’s possible” don’t exist? What if we stopped putting limits on our imagination about our businesses and ourselves? What if we all decided to let go of our fears, and fly?
Each one of us has the power to ask WHAT IF. We have the power to be anything we dream of being.
WHAT IF is the approach our founder, Felicity Furey, adopted throughout her career to make the impossible become possible.
Felicity has led multi-million dollar engineering infrastructure projects, founded multiple successful businesses, and was named Boss Magazine’s Young Executive of The Year and one of AFR’s 100 Women of Influence at just 26 years of age.
Felicity started WeAspire with one goal in mind: to help other aspiring leaders make their own “impossible” become possible in their career and their life.
Globally, Felicity has worked with over 20,000 people and some of the biggest organisations across the world to create diverse and inclusive leaders.
Is it time you started asking “what if”?
