Pippa Hallas believes women are equally as capable of making bold moves as men.
Her new book Bold Moves: How to stand up, step out and make your next bold move is a personal celebration of Pippa’s Great Aunt and founder of Ella Baché, with her own experience along with those of several innovative Australian women, including Tracey Spicer and Layne Beachley.
Ella Baché, the founder and Pippa’s great aunt was very much the inspiration for her book. Ella Baché was not just an incredible pioneer in the worlds of business and beauty but a truly independent thinker.
The book documents how Ella Baché graduated as a Pharmacist in Prague despite being denied an education as a woman in 1920s. Two world wars forced her to leave her family and friends and relocate: first to Paris where she opened her own laboratory and boutique selling her skin care formulations. The history expands across the waters to Pippa’s current experiences as a modern third-generation female CEO leading Ella Baché.
Alongside Madame Baché & Pippa’s story, female pioneers and leaders interviewed in Bold Moves such as Kit Willow, Jessica Watson and Kym Ellery, share their personal journeys, the challenges and triumphs of being an Australian woman in business and the lessons they have learnt to pursue the boldest version of their own lives. Pippa is a big believer in surrounding yourself with great people which is why the stories of these woman provide practical ways you can live a bold life.
As a dedication to her mum, all profits from the book will also be going to Cherish Cancer Foundation cherish.org.au. The primary goal of Cherish is to fund clinical research that results in kinder, gentler and more effective gynaecological cancer treatments.
Bold Moves is available on Booktopia, Dymocks, instore at Ella Baché salons, David Jones nationally and online at ellabache.com.au from April 1st.
