From the former prime minister of New Zealand comes a guide for young readers on chasing your dreams and embracing the unexpected qualities that truly make a person strong.

When Jacinda Ardern became prime minister of New Zealand, she was one of the youngest people and, at the time, the youngest woman leading a country. Many people thought she would never succeed—herself included. Wouldn’t her insecurity, overthinking, worrying and kindness stop her from being able to achieve her goals?

In the end it was exactly those attributes that made her into the empathetic, adaptable and effective leader that she was.

While sharing her own experiences and challenges as a young person, and then as prime minister, Jacinda Ardern wants to show YOU that true strength, success and power come from embracing ourselves just as we are—imposter syndrome and all.

Young readers can discover:

  • The importance of kindness in leadership
  • How to manage imposter syndrome
  • Handling criticism
  • Learning how to understand your emotions
  • Turning your dream job into a reality
The Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern was elected the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand at the age of thirty-seven, becoming the country’s youngest Prime Minister in more than 150 years. Since leaving office, Ardern has established the Field Fellowship on empathetic leadership. She is a Senior Fellow at Harvard University, continues to work on climate action, and is the Patron of the Christchurch Call to Action to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. She is the author of a memoir titled A Different Kind of Power, as well as a young readers edition, What If You Could. Ardern also works on a number of projects that support women and girls, but considers her greatest roles to be those she will hold for life, including that of mum and proud New Zealander.
