Meee With Victoria Hislop...

Tune in to our latest Just Meee podcast: The Power of Storytelling with Victoria Hislop.

This month, we celebrate storytelling, and who better to feature than the brilliant Victoria Hislop, a master of words and a true literary force. I was fortunate to work with Victoria decades ago, and even then, her talent for storytelling was unmistakable.

In 2005, she published her debut novel, The Island, a captivating story inspired by the abandoned Greek leprosy colony of Spinalonga. The book became an international bestseller, translated into 40 languages, selling over 6 million copies worldwide, and was adapted into a record-breaking Greek TV series. Since then, Victoria has published several bestselling novels, each weaving everyday life with history, hope, and human resilience.

Beyond her literary success, Victoria has been recognized for her deep connection to Greece, earning Honorary Citizenship in 2020 for her contributions to Greek culture. She has also studied the Greek language, aiming to one day read fluently without a dictionary by her side.

Her passion for storytelling began at a young age, fueled by a love for books and great narratives. As she shared in our podcast, stories connect us, shape us, and teach us. One of my favorite moments was her tale of her mother cycling off to work as a waitress, dressed for the occasion!

Victoria’s stories have touched millions. What story do you want to tell? Listen to our podcast and be inspired to share yours.

Tea With TED...

In Chapter 17 of Meee In A Minute, we explore how lifelong learning keeps our minds active, engaged, and inspired. One of the best ways to fuel this curiosity is through TED Talks, a global platform dedicated to spreading ideas that can change the world.

Originally launched in 1984 as a Technology, Entertainment, and Design conference, TED has since evolved into a treasure trove of free knowledge. With thousands of talks available online, each under 18 minutes, you can dive into science, business, creativity, wellbeing, and more.

But TED doesn’t just exist online. TEDx events bring local communities together to share ideas, and I was fortunate enough to give a TEDx Talk on the Meee Programme.

10 Years Of Meee.
A Story Of Growth, Learning And Impact...

Every great journey is built on stories. The people we meet, the challenges we face, and the lessons we learn all shape the paths we take. And what a journey it has been.

If I knew then what I know now, would I have done things differently? No. While different choices might have meant fewer mistakes, where’s the growth in that? Every step, every challenge, has been part of the Meee story, and we wouldn’t change it.

At Meee, it’s always been about those Take a Minute™️ moments, the small, everyday choices that shape who we become. True change doesn’t happen overnight; it’s built through consistent, small steps that lead to big transformations.

There’s a saying: “Pressure is a privilege”. The first time I heard it, I wasn’t convinced. But after 10 years at the helm of Meee, I can say with certainty, it’s true.

As Steve Jobs wisely said, “You can only connect the dots looking back”. And looking back over a decade of Meee, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and purpose.
