What if your most humiliating moment became your greatest strength? Gina Shepherd shares how a disastrous public speech led her to build a thriving marketing consultancy. Discover her six Cs framework for visibility that helped one client achieve 300% revenue growth in year one.

Guest Bio:

Gina Shepherd is a life, business and leadership coach, flow consultant, and co-founder of Foxy Marketers, on a mission to help coaches, service providers and entrepreneurs stop being the best-kept secret in their industry. With a background that spans running two gym franchises almost 20 years ago, to building thriving online communities, Gina brings real-world business grit to everything she does. She knows what it takes to build something from the ground up, and more importantly, how to get people through the door. At Foxy Marketers, Gina and the team work with coaches and service providers to generate visibility and leads through a proven 6Cs framework (Connection, Conversation, Community, Cultivation, Convene, Client), helping them build the kind of relationships that actually convert.

A firm believer that connection is the new currency, Gina also hosts her own Connect & Grow events, intimate spaces that blend networking with real, practical training. Born from her own uncomfortable experience of walking into a room and not knowing a soul, these events are designed for people who want to grow their network and their confidence. Now stepping boldly onto other people's stages, Gina is on a mission to share what she's learned, and help fellow entrepreneurs do the same. When she's not in her business, you'll find her at home with her husband, her two (now fully fledged and flown!) sons checking in occasionally, and Rufus, her beloved rescue German Shepherd who absolutely runs the household.

What happens when a corporate overachiever finally asks what she actually wants? Kara Troester shares her journey from 60-hour weeks to intentional living, launching two businesses, and her List of 100 Dreams exercise that helps high-achieving women rediscover happiness.

Guest Bio:

Kara Troester spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in tech consulting — and burning herself out in the process. What started as a desperate search for balance turned into something she never expected: a complete reimagining of what her life could look like.

While still in corporate, she built She Boss Life, a community for high-achieving women who are succeeding by every external measure but quietly wondering if there's more. When she finally left her corporate career in early 2026, she did something no one saw coming — including her. She traded PowerPoints for mimosas and launched Forage, a mobile snack and cocktail cart business.

Today Kara is building two businesses simultaneously, figuring it out in real time, and bringing her She Boss Life community along for the ride. Her mission is simple: help women stop operating on autopilot and start actually living.

What happens when you finally realize you're not just a trainer but a strategic partner? Julie Futcher shares her journey from imposter syndrome to Fellow of the Institute of Sales Professionals, rebuilding after COVID, and why at 59 she's finally claiming her true worth in sales strategy.

Guest Bio:

Julie Futcher, known as the Sales Ace, is one of the East Midlands most respected sales trainers and sales strategists. She has over 30 years of varied experience in both B2B and B2C sales, is a regular trainer for the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, contributes professional mentorship for ‘help to grow’, and has worked with more than 250 businesses to enhance their sales strategies and processes.

Julie’s core belief is that sales is the lifeblood of any business. Her experience says that, to keep that lifeblood flowing, you need to equip sales teams with the skills they need to overachieve and then create the sales processes and planning that will allow them to go further and excel. It’s also important to her that training should encompass the real, and constantly changing, world that sales teams work in. That is why she always maintains a role as an active salesperson. That real world understanding, her dedication to remaining cutting edge in areas such as LinkedIn training, and her extensive experience of everything from telesales to C-Suite planning, are just part of the reason she is such an asset to any businesses or individual looking to elevate their sales performance.
