The Successful Women Podcast Show with Gill Donnell

Jodi Powell has a degree in Indigenous Studies and is the co-founder and heart centred editor of LifeGrid Magazine, a global digital experience that provides a platform for life professionals to communicate connect and share the human story behind their brand. 

She lives and works in beautiful Fremantle, Western Australia as an indigenous healer. Her passion is working beside minority groups on local community projects, mentoring  people to embrace their identity and personal journey.

Jodi’s unique healing gifts can be attributed to her amazing heritage, a Samoan adopted from birth to European parents.

Jodi grew up a ‘white girl’ with brown skin with her life becoming a balancing act defined by her ability to walk the fine line between the expectations of two different cultures. That struggle to find herself and her identity would eventually become the gift she would give to others.

She has embraced the uniqueness of both cultures in her work. LifeGrid Magazine has become the expression of her love to connect with people from all backgrounds through collaboration and heart centred passion.

What if you are the only thing holding you back?

This is the question Liz explores with her coaching clients. It’s at the heart of her work as a leadership coach and trainer. Liz helps clients cut through their agitated fuzzy thinking to access a space of clarity and resilience.

Liz and her husband Stu, work extensively with school leaders. They share a simple psychological approach. This enables leaders to get back in touch with their internal powerhouse of wellbeing.  Leaders who operate from this space operate from an authentic, inner confidence. The coaching approach is based on something called ‘The Three Principles’.

Liz also runs conferences and events for coaches (through www.coachingconnect.co.uk) attracting some of the best-known, international, names in their field to speak in the South West.

She’s a former BBC reporter, an amateur videographer and runs a weekly series of audio interviews with coaches. Liz is in the middle or writing and publishing a book in 100 days – it’s due to be published early 2017.

Liz likes doing some crazy things, like cycling 400 miles to London with her husband pulling their labradoodle in a trailer. Other than cycling (and walking the dog) she’s also learning to improvise on the saxophone and plays jazz – plus she sings with an accapella group.

Ildiko is the Founder of a personal empowerment system called Life Retuning which uses the human energy field to open pathways of possibility to create positive and lasting change. The human energy field holds the key to changing any unwanted behaviour and upgrading the quality of our lives to high levels of happiness, health and fulfilment. This means it can bypass the obstacles and barriers our minds put up to changes. Modern science is opening up a whole new level of understanding about how we function energetically. Ildiko is committed to showing and teaching people how to use their own personal energy in a healthy way in their own lives, within relationships and pro-actively with the environment.

She started her journey into energy at 24 years old when she suffered a severe nervous breakdown and had to find a way out of it. She had high levels of anxiety, panic attacks and her world shut down as she couldn’t cope with anything that caused any further stress. This started her looking at alternative therapies when the orthodox route gave her no relief or answers.

Eventually Ildiko discovered Energy Psychology and trained in it. her research led her to Quantum Physics and she experimented with combining the two. This eventually became the set of powerful transformation tools and techniques that is now known as Life Retuning.

Ildiko specialises in using Life Retuning as a Business Empowerment Facilitator, by helping Entrepreneurs with a Social or Environmental solution who have a deep desire to turn that idea into a sustainable and heart-led business but lack the confidence to do so.

It is not Coaching, she has worked with over 1000 clients, offering a supportive and transformational set of programmes which have changed the ground state in their businesses and personal lives from struggling, to firing on all cylinders. She works globally over Skype with all types of businesses. With Life Retuning she is a Master at unlocking the deepest level of fears and anxieties and transforming them into joyful energy, clear thinking and easy manifestation using a little bit of magic! 

‘I am passionate about empowering people and helping them to find their true beautiful selves. I believe that understanding energy at the fundamental level is the key to us living more fulfilling, healthy, happy lives in harmony with nature instead of acting against it.’

A number of listeners have asked Gill to consider publishing some of the tips and advice from her blog and website via the Podcast show - so here it is - one of Gill's favourite subjects - The Impostor Syndrome.

The term was first coined by psychologists, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Immes, in a 1978 paper, The Impostor Phenomenon In High Achieving Women.                       The authors defined it as a problem affecting women who “Despite outstanding academic and professional accomplishments, persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise.”

This episode brings some advice for combatting self-doubt and signposts Gill's free guide, An A-Z to Banishing the Impostor Syndrome, available through the website. http://www.successfulwomen.training/a-z-of-the-impostor-syndrome

Claire is a dynamic leader within the multi billion dollar network marketing industry and she is building a fast growing, global business – and is, every day, helping others to achieve their own success.

Claire’s story saw her begin her career within the insurance industry where she carved out her specialism within the legal professions market. She established her first insurance brokerage business at just 20 years old and latterly sold her second business to a major national broker.

Thereafter Claire was asked to take on the role of Group Operations Director of the company which bought her own business and was subsequently head hunted for the role of Managing Director of a large commercial insurance brokerage.

After 20 years of working for her clients – meaning long hours and very little by the way of work/life balance, Claire made the bold decision to leave her career behind in order to take her many skills in to an altogether different sector. She felt a strong desire to build a business that would allow her to equal her prior success, while affording a work/life balance that she had not been able achieve before. More importantly she was determined to help many other people to be able to do the same for themselves. Claire found the perfect vehicle in Forever Living – with its exclusive, unrivalled products and proven business model. She saw an amazing business opportunity that she knew she could share, with unbridled passion.

Claire works with carefully selected individuals, who share her zest for life and desire to stand apart from the rest – she shares her extensive business experience with them and supports them every step of the way towards their own success.

Claire is recognised as a great leader, trainer and mentor. Claire Russell speaks regularly at 4networking.biz who have over 50,000 members and hold 100’s of business networking meetings around the UK.
