Terry Hawkins
Terry Hawkins (born Terry Lorrane Kollner; May 7, 1961) is an Australian businesswoman, author, business consultant, and transformational motivational speaker. She moved from Australia to the United States in 2010, and wrote, Why Wait to be Great? It's Either Now or Too Late.
Early life
Hawkins was born in Ipswich, a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. She is the fourth oldest of six children born to Walton and Jean Kollner. Living through an abusive and impoverished childhood, she was responsible for raising her two younger siblings after the death of her father in 1976. Much of Hawkins' work comes from her personal experiences as a young woman including a skin disfiguration, eating disorders, sexual abuse, and an attempted suicide in her late teens.
