Biographies

Born in Africa, at the age of twelve Fiori Giovanni's marriage was already arranged. By fourteen, she was recruited into the Eritrean army. Her destiny, like that of so many girls in Third World countries, had been dictated, defined and determined. It was yet, though, to be defied.

At fifteen, Fiori made the agonizing decision to flee war-torn Eritrea without friends or family. She crossed five continents and twenty countries in search of knowledge, personal growth and wisdom, eventually settling in Australia where she's now a highly sought-after and respected business and executive coach, as well as a keynote speaker and media commentator.

After repeatedly overcoming harrowing experiences and insurmountable obstacles, Fiori decoded her own steps to survival, transformation and success, creating a framework that empowers others to do the same. This framework is now available to you in her book, 'Defy Your Destiny', released in February 2019.

After listening to this audiobook, you will be uplifted by Fiori's spirit, inspired by her courage, and motivated to take positive action in all areas of your life.
