The Authors

Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger are the embodiment of unconventional success. Their path to global business and brand leadership was a battlefield of bad odds and rejection.

When they started out in 2005 they were described as too young, too female, and too weird. Today, they’re described as iconoclastic thinkers and inspirational coaches. As founders of Motto®, a coveted C-Suite leadership partner, they’ve driven change at organizations like Google, Microsoft, and Twentieth Century Studios. As authors of Rare Breed, they’re now empowering leaders and talent around the world with their unique expertise and contagious attitude.

They’ve been featured in Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and The Breakfast Club. And have been named in GDUSA’s Top 25 People to Watch.

What’s Inside

Rare Breed is organised around seven virtues that have traditionally been painted as dangerous or undesirable in business. Each virtue has a dark side and pitfalls to navigate. But through exhaustive research, expert guidance and inspiring examples, Sunny and Ashleigh turn these qualities on their heads and show how to harness them to extraordinary effect.

The 7 Rare Breed virtues are…

Rebellious – Powerful for sparking change if you know how to train it
Audacious – A visionary quality when you can resist the pull of hubris
Obsessed – Channel it for exceptional results, but know when to pull back
Hot-blooded – A source of energy if you can avoid burnout and destruction
Weird – Your gateway to original ideas, but requires a connection with reality
Hypnotic – Become a seductive storyteller while checking your moral compass
Emotional – Tune into what people care about, without losing your head
