Taking bricks & mortar beauty online! I believe any business can be digitised, however bricks-and-mortar it may seem.

So, I’m fascinated how Jennie Lawson – who started her first business when she was 21 – has created an online version of her beauty salon. She took the spiritual nourishment that she offers one-to-one in the treatment room, and brought it to a wider audience with Mimosa Sanctuary.

She talks to me about the grief that spurred her on, dyslexia, and the tough reality of being a young, award-winning entrepreneur.

Some Questions I ask

Beauty salons are such a hands-on experience. How can you use digital techniques to bring that experience online?

What part did your huge grief play in the creation of your self-care platform?

How does someone with severe dyslexia write 6 eBooks?

In this episode, you will learn

How daily rituals can help when you’re struggling to get through your day

The power of mindfulness on grief and pain

Strategies for keeping happy when you run your own business

Barbara Guilbride – Live the Change podcast 2019

“When men change, nations change”

Barbara Guilbride is a great inspiration to me. She’s spent her whole life showing others how to be catalysts for change. Applying her faith and a simple but effective approach based on four principles, she spent much of her life promoting global peace. She was a part of the influential Caux convention designed to create lasting peace after World War II, and helped smooth Zambia’s path to independence which to this day is in the top five most peaceful nations in Africa.

I wanted to share Barbara’s story, which just shows how a successful and rich career doesn’t have to be a transactional one. She may be 98, but her wisdom is timeless.

In this podcast you will learn:

• How personal change can be a catalyst for change society, countries and continents.

• If you want anybody to change, the place to start with is yourself, not the other person.

• How one Zambian boy who stole from a supermarket changed his ways and became a Zambian MP.

• The four principles that guide Barbara’s life: Absolute Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness and Love, and the amazing impact of abiding by them.

• How Barbara’s life was guided by faith in God, but for the non-believing, the four principles would guide anyone of any faith, or no faith at all.

Questions I ask:

• What happened in Caux, Switzerland that helped establish lasting peace after World War II?

• What is the impact of digital communication on community, and for international diplomacy?

• Do you think Britain breaking away from Europe is a good thing?

• How was Alcoholics Anonymous inspired by Frank Buchman, the founder of The Oxford Group, and later Moral Re-Armament?

Some Questions I ask

• How did you go from appearing on soaps like Emmerdale to coaching in big businesses like the NHS?

• What is NLP, and how it can help presentation skills.

• It’s very British to be self-deprecating, but your mind hears your negativity, and your body follows. If you want to exude confidence and positivity, you need to use great language.

“Trust your inner wisdom – it’s real and you can believe it!” Life coach Liz Gilmour is buzzing about Feminine Power. Once we see we’re ruled by false beliefs and a checklist for happiness we didn’t write, we can work out what we really want, and how to get it.

Some Questions I ask:

What did you do before you became a coach?

You ticked all the boxes – law career, husband, kids – why did you still feel a failure?

What is life coaching?

Why wouldn’t my boss let me step up from my PA role?

How do I manifest positive change in the universe?

Tell us about Feminine Power!

In this episode, you will learn:

What are false beliefs, and how can we break through them?

It’s ok to trust your inner wisdom – it’s real, you can believe it!

The key to growth is to reach out for support, and support others

Jealousy can be a good thing, if you use it as a clue to what you really want.

If we see greatness in others, we should name it. If we all did it, how powerful would that be?

The digital world offers women a new context to unlock potential, on their terms and timeframes.

2. Do our best to encourage digital literacy for our children.

3. Be aware of the fact that the job market is going to change so radically and fast over the next 10 years, and the education system is not preparing our children for such change at this point in time.
