Leadership in Action – AUNZ English – 201703

 2016 MARKETING EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR

The Melaleuca Fairytale O nce upon a time, in faraway South Australia, a fair maiden lay motionless on the shower floor. Having scrubbed and scrubbed the houses of strangers— for a minimum wage of course—she was overcome by the power of chlorine bleach, drifting off to a troublesome slumber. Her body slowly fighting the toxic fog, she roused not to the handsome face of her savior prince, but to the reality that she had  —quite literally—worked herself toward an early grave. The story that followed may indeed imitate the rags to riches Cinderella story of our childhoods, however as Senior Director 6 and 2016 Marketing Executive of the Year Carole Sellar explains, “My fairytale story is missing one key element; there’s no Prince Charming or Fairy Godmother that came along and completely transformed my life. I was my own knight in shining armor.”
