Delivering keynotes, moderating panels and running interactive workshops across five continents. Also an experienced master of ceremonies for conferences with 1000+ people + chair of galas, award events and more... I'm a committed espresso user and a past chair of the International Association of Business Communicators. And I've run non-profits - and held leadership roles at IBM, Motorola; and perhaps more unusually, the 260+year–old Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (The RSA). When not at events and conferences, I provide 1:1 advice to Chairs, Chief Execs and senior leaders on strategy, change and turnarounds. I’m particularly interested in how strategic alignment can focus people - and enable growth. With my colleagues at Align, I facilitate strategy for organisations that want to enable all their people to put a shoulder to the wheel. Organisations don’t make things happen. People do. You’d be surprised how varied the clients are: government agencies, large semiconductor firms, small town councils… why? They all have people in common. Also, through courses and 1:1 mentoring I work to develop the next generation of leaders. It is all about enabling people to step up and lead. What do you want to change?

Previously a student at the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy at Peterborough Regional College, where I was working on a business plan for a new fast food business which I ran as a test at the end of the year. Since then I founded Prysma, a digital marketing agency based in the UK and Ukraine, and also co-founded Media Booster, a business that provides tools to help digital marketers get better results. I was also a youth officer in the Labour Party, a position that I put a large amount of effort into, working on campaigning for elections, and encouraging the younger generation into politics, a position i had to give up when i relocated to Peterborough - although I'm no longer affiliated with any political party.

I am a two-time fashion tech entrepreneur, long-time strategy & product development consultant, and inadvertent full stack developer. I pioneered the concept of mass-customizing clothing by body type 18 years ago, and have been at the forefront of personalizing products and user experiences ever since. I'm nothing if not persistent - when I kept running into the Catch-22 of being unable to hire a tech team to build Click2Fit’s software without funding, I started learning everything I needed to know in order to develop the algorithms and build it myself – from artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience and physics, to designing the architecture and developing the software. Fast forward a few years later and Click2Fit is about to start beta testing its expert recommendation software, and I became a full stack developer along the way. As someone who’s self-taught (both as a programmer and as a businesswomen) and who was the only women in the room for far too long, I probably appreciate more than most just how intimidating and difficult the process can be and am driven to draw from my own experiences to help ease the way for others.

Michael Levy is a world leader on the philosophy of truth and wisdom. His 14 inspirational books have never been marketed for Levy feels authentic works will eventually find their place in humanity by word of mouth. His lack of education makes his philosophy unique in a modern world, where everything is analyzed and sophisticated by experts until all true meaning drains away. His works do not follow any past or present philosophers. Many experts may use erroneous intellectual reasoning and faulty egotistical logic to explain answers that cannot be lived by natural people. At this point in time, schools and universities teach people to read and write to a good standard. However, they do not teach wisdom to the students, on how to apply their learning for the benefit of all humanity, not just for a select few. Michael is an international radio host, a mystical poet, business and finance philosopher and wellness/healthy living speaker on cruise ships, radio, TV and seminars. The Royal College of Psychiatry has published selected essays and poetry. His works can be found on numerous websites throughout the world. for further info go to... www.pointoflife.com

He was experienced in business, well-read, optimistic, honest and always up to date with the current trends in business. In each meeting, he brought up new ideas and challenged and motivated me. Over the years my business flourished and I am very grateful for Andrew's input. Often, he believed in me more than I believed in myself. He encouraged me to become a speaker and write a book, to build two brands, to grow my network and to become the best boss possible. I learned so much from him. He also encouraged me to pay it forward and as a result, I have qualified as a business coach and I have mentored many start-up businesses. I am a firm believer in the power of coaching and mentoring and I am very grateful for Andrew's generous wisdom and advice over the years. My business has grown from strength to strength over the past 22 years and I have so much to thank Andrew for.

Do you : -have multiple interests, passions, and professional endeavors? - seek and seize opportunities at a pace that makes the average person's head spin? - constantly get asked (and ask yourself!) how you manage to do it all? - know the value of hardwork and self-confidence? - have a burning desire to make your world a better place? - want to rise above the grind to create "profitable passion", along with health, fulfillment, generosity, and personal growth? Multipreneurs come in all ages, shapes, sizes, and income brackets. Their passion, heart, and intelligence are unrivaled and, in some cases, underappreciated. If you are a multipreneur, a hustler, or a passionate soul who is hungry for more out of life, you've come to right place. Kacey specializes in coaching clients toward achieving more than they previously thought possible in their life, business, and personal goals. She is passionate about helping clients discover more confidence, fulfillment, better communication, leadership, and most importantly, new actions and ways of showing up in the world that lead to transformation. The internet is FILLED with ebooks, video seminars, and blogs that offer advice, wisdom, and promises of a happier life, fame, fortune, and soulmates. Self-help books and positive affirmations are great tools, but there is no substitute for the personal, one-on-one reflection, support, and accountability a coach provides. Coaching is a unique and powerful conversation and process that is all about you, what you want, and how to create a future that's above and beyond your current comfort zone. If that's a conversation you're ready to have, reach out and get started!
