Paula Constant In 2004, Paula packed her life into a backpack and began walking from Trafalgar Square in 2004. Since then, she has walked over 12000 km through eight countries: England, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Mauritania, Mali and Niger. From 2005-2007, Paula walked over 7000km through the Sahara, until she was halted by civil war in Niger. Her first book, Slow Journey South, was released by Random House in 2008. Her second, Sahara, was released in October 2009. Paula began to speak to audiences when she returned from the desert. She draws on lessons learned over three years leading her own expedition through the Sahara to demonstrate how success is defined differently for each person or team, and provides practical steps to enable her audience to find their own definition of success, and achieve it.
Paula is currently busy working on her third travelogue, planning another walk, and lives in rural Victoria.
Mehta Publishing House, Pune, is bringing out Paula's books for the SAARC region.

WeSchool is a pioneering Business school in India which emphasises on design-led innovative education for shaping vision and mission of global citizen leadership. WeSchool strongly believe in integrating the philosophy of 'leadership' and 'innovation', endeavours to provide newer avenues to students towards achieving excellence in all sphere of life.
At WeSchool we have gone one step further by integrating theatre and literature to help our students to learn from the stories whose characters are often non-conventional leaders that teach many lessons on decision-making. While students engage in story-telling/listening, they also are guided to delve on the dilemmas in the stories involving ethics, change management, adversity management etc. On the other hand, with Prof Charuhas Joshi, a seasoned mountaineer and a coach on board, yoga sessions, treks, expeditions, outbound programs are regularly organized for WeSchool students, each of these aspects have tremendous learnings for B School Students and enhance their professional approach.
Apart from corporate leaders , entrepreneurs, NGOs, Spiritually awakened people ,theatre personalities, mountaineers and adventurers, people at the bottom of the pyramid interact with our students as their ideas ,experiences ,knowledge and exemplary qualities pass on to them and it work wonders for their overall growth.
After successfully hosting LITOMANIA, a Litfest to celebrate the young new breed of Indian English authors from the popular genre and MAHARASHATRA TIMES MAIFAL, a tribute to the old and new authors, poets, publishers, translators and playwrights from Marathi, WeSchool is looking forward to hosting creative souls like Paula Constant to engage with our students in the times to come.
