Meghan Shanley is an accomplished singer, performer, author and mentor.

In her earlier years Meghan was an athlete until one day whilst singing along to the radio in her Mums car she discovered she had a talent, her voice !

Meghan won Miss. Virginia in America and was entered through to be a contestant in Miss America but had an inner passion to sing so 22 years ago she headed to Nashville and did just that.

Performing is Meghan's happy place where she temporarily escapes issues that may be challenging her mind.

She has throughout her life had an at times turbulent relationship with alcohol.

Her book - Vincent plays Piano is an enchanting illustrated book which Meghan's takes into schools and colleges across America to encourage the younger generation to rethink and reframe life's journey, helping in a somewhat unorthodox, but highly effective way those challenged by mental health issues or stresses of life they may be facing.

Meghan shares her story, which is one of what can only be described often as a rollercoaster but also her insights into relationships with both herself and the diverse cultures she's worked with during her career.

Chris Broadbent had spent 30 years climbing the corporate ladder and has achieved much that many would envy BUT it came at a huge personal mental health cost !

After a prolonged period of pressure, stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, burning the candle at both ends, huge responsibility it was very evident that Chris himself became very aware that he was having a meltdown and found himself sitting in front of his doctor crying as he explained how he was feeling the doctor said "Chris you need tp take time out", which he really took on board and switched off his mobile phone, logged out of his emails, sent in a sick note and NEVER returned to the same place of work !!

Chris completely detached and focused diligently with the help of family and friends to heal and become better, finding enjoyment and peace in life again.

He took a little job as a van driver, not knowing that this would lead him to his passion and purpose in life !

Chris is on a mission to help other Senior executives recognise the signs of a mental breakdown and has written a book entitled "You can do anything".

He's currently a Director of award winning raw dog food specialist Naturaw.
