Show Notes"It's not my job to be for everyone. My job is to be exactly who I am for the people who think I'm the kind of person they need." - Julie Brown
I don't think we should comment, ever, on what someone else is wearing. - Ginger Burr
Meet Ginger Burr, Owner Total Image ConsultantsCreating a wardrobe and personal style you love begins with a longing for ease and beauty (your definition of beauty) every time you get dressed.
Ginger Burr started Total Image Consultants with the heartfelt belief that whether you are 25 or 85, you deserve to feel radiant and pulled-together every time you get dressed. Her work has reached women from all walks of life who long to connect with their inner essence to create a wardrobe they love.
She is the author of the book, That’s So You! Create a look you love with beauty, style and grace and has been interviewed by Allure Magazine, Worth Magazine, Forbes Magazine and Bloomberg Business Week.
Style is all about what makes you feel the most empowered. If people say things, you're either gonna think it's kind of funny, or it's just gonna roll off of you. And if it doesn't, then maybe you're not fully expressing who you are in a way that is right for you. - Ginger Burr

What makes LGBTQ+ Executive / Leadership Coaching different?
People think that something’s different in email, and I’m like ‘no it’s a communication between you, a human, and another human. And all of the same good relationship things apply. - Shelly Davies
Meet Shelly Davies, Writing Trainer, New ZealandShelly does words!!! If you need to use words to transmit information and you want to do it quickly and effectively, she's your girl. But boy, those engineers and government departments don’t realise what they’re going to get once Shelly’s in the room.
What they get is a lot of UNTRAINING – undoing all of the bad habits they picked up at university and through their careers. With hashtags like #writelikeahuman and #authenticitywins, Shelly encourages research-based approaches to writing in more authentic ways, with a natural voice that increases confidence and trust.
Shelly is also the founder and creator of The School of Unprofessional Writing, online writing courses for individuals who want to write better.
Shelly is living a dream she didn’t know she had – helping people live more fully, more authentically, and more in their truth. She does this with a lot of laughs, her traditional Māori chin tattoo, and a fair amount of curse words sprinkled liberally through everything she does, even her website.
One of her goals in life is to support women. Women in business, women in life, women in their own skins. Because we are enough.
