Today's guest is Vanessa Ugatti -The True Worth Expert

Vanessa is a Transformational Coach, Motivational Speaker and Author of Amazon Best Seller, True Worth: How to Charge What You’re Worth and Get It 

As a child, she lacked self-confidence – looking at her now, though, you’d never believe it.

Originally trained as a bilingual P.A. (she’s fluent in French and speaks reasonable Spanish), she openly admits she had no clue what she wanted to do when she grew up!

Vanessa has consistently challenged herself conquering many of her own fears, from dropping solo to work in a French-speaking part of Africa, launching a successful business later in life or overcoming a fear of heights by jumping out of a plane from 10,000 feet up!

However, it was not until 1997 that she discovered the fear and excitement of public speaking and many years later, following her heart, went on to set up Watch Out World training businesses in public speaking – as she puts it “all through the back door”, as she did not have a training background.

In 2008, tragedy struck as she lost 3 family members in a matter of weeks which sent her into a downward spiral. However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes she once again returned to do battle; this time, discovering her true life purpose – helping businesses charge what they’re worth by genuinely understanding their own value and balancing this with creating value for their clients.

Vanessa’s motto is: follow your heart and never give up!

Today's guest is Angela Harkness.

Angela is a Business & Life  Coach, Speaker and Writer. She is the founder of High Heelers  a company that was created to help women start and grow their own businesses. She is fiercely passionate about helping female entrepreneurs at all stages of growth.  Not only does she love the world of business but she also loves the self development side that is required to succeed when starting and growing a company and helping women break down their own blocks.   Angela brings over 20 years corporate experience as an employee and business owner.  Her skill and success comes from the fact she is an ideas machine,  she is honest and has incredible instinct when it comes to helping clients move forward. 

A lightbulb moment came at a corporate meeting with very senior managers attending. Everyone was asked what they would do if they won the lottery and not a single person said they would do what they are doing now. Not only was she shocked by this she was also very shocked that no one else was.

Kate lost her left hand at two-years-old following a freak accident. Aged four, her parents encouraged her to learn to swim; it was a daunting task as Kate was afraid of deep water and struggled to balance with one hand, but she persevered and went on to swim regularly.

Kate never let her disability hold her back, and alongside swimming she also pursued and excelled in other sports. At 10 years old, she competed in her first disability swimming competition. To her surprise, Kate performed well and later qualified for the National Championships. 

In 2002, aged just 13, she was earmarked as a potential Paralympian and went on to represent Great Britain for the next 10 years.

The proudest moment in Kate’s career so far was representing GB at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. She then went on to win a silver medal in the 100m breaststroke and bronze in the 100m Individual Medley at the World Championships in 2009.

Unfortunately, illness meant Kate missed out on qualifying for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. But she now finds herself working in the media as a sports reporter, and in schools as an athlete mentor - proving that from failure and disappointment you can still find success in other opportunities.
