How to Thrive in Life and Business – Annie Gibbins
With the word ‘Thrive’ becoming the latest buzzword in the world of business, it’s no wonder so many are looking for the role models who have made ‘thriving’ a way of life for longer than many of the millennials have been alive.

One such woman is Annie Gibbins, and the ability to thrive is hard-wired into her DNA, and not only in the business arena either.
Annie is a woman who has raised a happy and successful family, remained totally in love with her childhood sweetheart, and risen to the top of corporate Australia, all whilst studying for her Masters Degree, Completing the Six Sigma Green Belt, and raised $100,000’s for various charities which support both the end-user and much-needed research in the field of eye care and sight.
A level of success in all areas of life that not many can say they have achieved.
When asked about what it was that created the thrive mentality, Annie responded with “I just got curious about what I could do next. We’re all capable of so much, and it’s just exciting when you ask yourself “What else can I do?” or when you see others achieving something and you ask yourself “How did they get that position?”.
For me, curiosity is just a way of being, and it has served me and my family well”.
Annie’s curiosity became the focal point in the biography of her life which was written by International Bestselling Author and Author Strategist, Dawn Bates. The title of the book ‘Becoming Annie:
The Biography of a Curious Woman’, which is available from all great bookstores, on and offline, goes into the highs and lows of Annie’s journey to the top.
“Curiosity is an ongoing process and even when something is good, it’s about never settling for good” commented Annie, a woman who has never settled for good, always seeking greatness; something detailed in one of the best business books in history ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins.
“Becoming curious is the not the only key to the thrive life though, you have to implement what you learn, as well as be prepared to put in the hours and really step out of your comfort zone, whilst also finding the balance between taking care of yourself, your health, and your family life. No area of your life can be neglected and asking for help is also part of the process” Annie added.
With so many people worrying about not being good enough or becoming scared of ‘being found out’, curiosity is one of the best tools in the Thrive Toolkit of Life. “It turns defensiveness into discovery, and this is when we get to really excel in life and be grateful to those who ask us the questions we don’t yet have the answers to”.
More about Curiosity
Curiosity also allows us the joy of tapping into our inner child, the part of us who is often overlooked in the world of business; but an essential part of us when it comes to thriving. The world of business can be a lonely and stuffy world to be in, but when Annie is around, there is a lot of joy, laughter, and celebrating going on due to the high levels of energy and possibility she brings to each and every moment.
When working with female clients on her Magic Transformation Programme, Annie encourages the ladies to dive deep into their own curiosity, into what makes them excited, energized and she holds space for them to climb to the very top of the mountains they have always wanted to climb; and that’s not just a metaphor either, especially for those who join Annie on one of the hiking expeditions she so thoroughly enjoys.
