We often like, and do well, in our jobs but never seem to have enough time and have an ever-growing list of responsibilities together with little health niggles that just seem to add to the challenge of performing well and feeling energised.

At the age of 48, she became extremely ill and started down an amazing healing journey that has led to a full healing and a powerful spiritual awakening. Her journey has helped her understand first-hand the power of healing your trauma and stepping into “The Truth of Who You Are”. Once healed she decided to up-level her coaching business so she could help others that also suffer from chronic allergies and/or mast cell disorders, now assisting individuals that are also choosing to step into bravery and say “Yes” to a full and complete healing.

Stress is a topic that seems to be everywhere now and taking increasing prominence as a negative in our environment, but it doesn’t always have to be like that. Linda Ledwidge, a holistic wellness expert, talks about this and how we can channel the negative to positive and better manage our daily (and professional) lives.  

We will cover: 

More about Linda: 

Linda is passionate about helping people lead happy, healthy lives by finding what works for them. Glaswegian by birth she has lived on the island of Mallorca since 1996. After training as a general nurse in Glasgow in the 1980s, Linda trained and specialised in midwifery. “I live in awe of the conception of life, process of labour, and the miracle of childbirth.”  

In 2004, Linda’s doctors diagnosed her with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia and for 6 years she lived in a drugged haze. In and out of hospital, she even had brain surgery. When the doctors told her that there was no cure and nothing else they could do to help her pain, she decided that there had to be another way ... and the journey began. Using the free flo living process she developed, Linda became drug and pain-free.  

If you ask Linda what she does, she will tell you, “I help people feel good.....it’s that simple” 

Her mission is: “To change the world for one person at a time.” 

Her purpose: “Your inspiration and empowerment.” 

Her passion: “To hear you smile.”

How we can implement the science of happiness into our lives - practically! Specific strategies, actions, activities and exercises we can do to put this in place. Also, how we can build good habits and increase our resilience.

Today, it is a great pleasure to speak to Julie Schladitz, business and career coach, international HR consultant who previously worked for Gucci, INSEAD and International Olympic Committee. We are going to be discussing happiness as a follow up to our previous talk (see here) and particularly how we can implement this PRACTICALLY!

We will be discussing:

More about Julie:

Julie was educated in the UK and obtained a Master of Science in Organizational Psychology from the University of London. She is a trained business and career coach and has held senior HR management positions within companies such as the Gucci Group where she was actively involved in operations in Europe, North America and Asia. In addition to her corporate experience, she has worked in international organizations such as the European business school INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France, and the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Julie offers career management services to individuals and companies looking for specialist assistance in the areas of career coaching and wellbeing at work as well as providing HR consulting services to companies on a project basis.

In recent years, her passion for wellbeing and the effect of workplace stress on mental health has driven her to discover more about the benefits of happiness in our lives. Her journey of exploration has taken her through the fields of positive psychology, mindfulness and even dementia. This research has inspired her to create the “Happiness Revisited” programme, which supports individuals seeking a more balanced and fulfilling life.

She speaks fluent English, French and German and is currently based in Switzerland.

There are a lot of fights, arguments, opinions, and dialogue about equality but what do women really want – is it revolution or evolution and what are the differences... Also the female recession, the new opportunities it has opened up for us.

Today we welcome Marie Hale, CEO of @Revenue, her marketing and sales agency and Fwd Revolution, an organisation for talented women in the marketing sector.

We will be discussing:

More about Marie:

Marie Hale has revolutionized business marketing and sales with her agency @revenue, in her private consulting practice Lipstic Logic and in speaking arenas for over 20 years. Now she and her team have their sights set on their next revolution: replacing the broken systems and culture of inequity that caused the feminine recession. fwd@revolution is an organization like no other, offering flexible work schedules, educational support systems and the community talented women in marketing need to thrive.

Between 2017 and 2018, Marie lost her life and business partner and her best friend. As she had to find the strength over and over again to reassemble her life, she felt deeply that what she had been through had a bigger purpose. When the pandemic hit and the pressures of remote schooling and the feminine recession started closing in, Marie snapped and within 3 days she had the plan to burn it all to the ground and build something better. With her 20 years of experience running multi-national teams, her heart for big vision with powerful operational structures and her hard-won resilience, Marie is ready to lead the charge for women, working parents and everyone else working themselves into the ground to survive.
