Here is part two of my interview with Chiou See Anderson. In this episode, Chiou See talks to us about how she used strategies from the book ‘The Art of War’ to win a court case against her local City Council, why girls need to stop being pick mes, and how to confidently own a room.

Chiou See has Singaporean Chinese heritage and is President of the National Council of Women Australia and Head of the Australian delegation for the G20 Women Care Economy Working Group. She is also a proud grandma of two.
