Fiona Sturrock is a woman with a mission. She's determined to help women "discover, recover and sometimes uncover what it is to be a woman" - to reconnect with their feminine side and their sensuality. These are sides of the self that, as women, we often hide away as we move through our lives and our work, adopting the predominantly masculine styles of leadership that have prevailed up until now. Here she describes her work to Michelle - her work within the corporate world, showing women a more sustainable model of leadership, one in which they can utilize their feminine power; "it gives them more range and makes them a more powerful leader"; and also her work developing her unique Power of the Feminine program - a series of 5 transformational retreats spanning a full year, where women reconnect with their inner goddess, discover what it is to be a feminine leader and and truly "step into our feminine energy". Fiona also tells Michelle about her personal journey, one which started with accepting that she needed to do some personal development work on herself, moving out of her comfort zone, attending Hungarian Girl Training School (!), leaving the 'safety' of the corporate world to start her own business... and one that has ultimately led to her leading, training, and coaching women throughout the EMEA region (Europe, Africa, Middle East), who in turn will lead and show more women "a new way of being in the world". She also tells us: Why many women in the corporate world are becoming exhausted and depleted. How your feminine side is not necessarily your weaker side. Why colour and curves are the new black. The importance of feminine role models and sisterhood. How learning striptease and exotic dance can help get you in touch with yourself (and make you a better leader). Which investment is the best one you can make in order to find your calling or purpose in life. What's on the other side - pleasure, delight, deliciousness and gorgeousness... Fiona's favourite location is on the banks of the Danube in Budapest, Hungary.

Winifred Whitfield is an artist who specialises in making beautiful photographic portraits of women; “No matter your age or your weight, I will create a beautiful and flattering portrait of you as you would like to be seen and remembered”. Her process is twofold - the first stage involves a consultation  during which she and her client visualise the final image together, and later the taking of the portrait in the studio; and the second stage involves Photoshop and Painter, her digital toolkit, where she blends photography with the appearance of traditional art. The final portraits - "my vision and artistic expression of my client’s image" - can literally change the way her clients see themselves; "the look in their eyes and the tears of joy I get to share with them when they have their finished portraits... that's inspiration!" (the 'before' painting shot - compare with the 'after' shot above, where Winifred has woven her magic) Here she talks to Michelle about her personal journey, which includes Wall Street, a herd of llamas, a bactrian camel named Gobi, a dromedary named Butterscotch and a large dose of fearlessness in approaching new challenges! In Winifred's words; 'what's to keep me living my dreams or the life that I choose, except for the way that I think about it?... and if I do not block myself with "I'm afraid"s or fears, it's all there for me...' Winifred also talks about; How many women believe they are not photogenic or beautiful enough to have their portrait taken- until they see Winifred's portfolio of 'before and afters' shots. What she loves most about her work "This opportunity to touch lives is just so powerful... and to alter the way women feel about themselves." The ways in which we are all affected through the way we see ourselves. The story of the blue butterfly - enhancing the healing process - life transition and metamorphosis. Creating the perfect wedding venue - painting on a huge scale with plants and trees, land and textures. Inner transformations, experience, significance and the power of a 'If I can think it, I can do it' attitude. Fearlessness, taking each next step, keeping focused on doing good work and how we hold ourselves back. The importance of following your heart and what you truly want to do, despite current business 'wisdom' or what everyone else seems to be doing. The nurturing power of Work as Joy. Winifred's favourite locations include: New York, her farm and her calm, very creative, very alive, 'active place inside of me'.
