The Incredible Story
Kylie shares the story of how Incredible U came to life.
The last was reading Sheryl Sandberg’s “Lean In” and the feeling I had when I finished it. It was a defining moment for me. I decided then and there to take action and to be part of the revolution that would see women and small business owners raised to their full heights.
​
These events crystalised four things for me:
-
Each of us has a unique version of Incredible.
-
Incredible is not a word we should be confronted by and people are entitled to have a high opinion of us Together we are bolder, braver and better.
-
Coaching and mentoring should always be about you.
​
Incredible U had taken shape…..

Kylie Bishop
Managing Director
After a number of years coaching and mentoring under one of my other company banners, a series of things brought Incredible U to life.
​
The first was my involvement in the wonderful process that is the Telstra Business Women’s Awards and its slogan: “Incredible Can Come From Anywhere”. A strong message that struck right to the heart of my philosophy as a coach and mentor.
The next was a very large photo in the local paper after I had won the 2012 SA Telstra Business Woman of the Year award, with a headline that read “Kylie Is Incredible”. I arrived to find the page open in the office and my team talking about it. The very first thing I did was gasp and shut the paper! All too natural a reaction I suspect when someone else validates us so publicly. On reflection it was not in keeping with my mantra of sharing success and celebrating milestones with people I care about.
