Melissa Doyle shares stories of bravery, and practical tips for a purpose-driven career

<p>Melissa Doyle is a picture of professionalism. She’s adamant that even when she had young children, and felt like she hadn’t slept for weeks on end, she never had good cause to complain about her 4am call times as a news presenter.</p> <p>After all, she’d dreamed of being on the news since she was a little girl, and now it was a reality. Plus, she was working with a fiercely focused purpose.</p> <p>Melissa shares how this purpose-drive philosophy helped her through tougher moments in her presenting career, like her award-winning reporting on the Lindt cafe siege. And she highlights some of the astounding stories of courage and resilience that make up her latest book, <a href="https://www.penguin.com.au/books/fifteen-seconds-of-brave-9781761044861">15 Seconds of Brave</a>.</p> <p>Connect with Melissa on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissadoyleofficial/?originalSubdomain=au">LinkedIn</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/melissadoyle">Twitter</a></p> <p>***</p> <p>My new book Time Wise is out now.
