Dr. Sher Downing is the strategic partner entrepreneurs call when they need to think out loud about their biggest business decisions. With three decades of experience in academic and corporate training, she has been a driving force in the evolving edtech industry, building extensive expertise in educational technology before making a strategic pivot to entrepreneurship.   Now working as a consultant and researcher, Sher has built her reputation on one simple principle: real growth happens through trusted relationships, not transactional consulting. The entrepreneurs she works with don't just hire her for projects - they text her random business thoughts, call her when they're stuck on important decisions, and trust her judgment enough to actually listen when she says "go for it" or "maybe wait on that one."   As founder of Downing EdTech Consulting, Sher specializes in helping entrepreneurs navigate the complex balance between building successful ventures and caring for elderly parents - a critical intersection often overlooked in traditional business consulting. Her unique perspective combines business acumen with real-world caregiving insights, bridging education and business to help entrepreneurs navigate complex stakeholder relationships, technology decisions, and growth challenges.   An award-winning leader recognized by EdTech Digest and Women in IT USA Awards, Sher has been named among The Top 50 Women Leaders in Arizona. She hosts the Forward Thinking Experts podcast, where she explores innovative approaches to modern challenges, and works with a select group of entrepreneurs who want a strategic partner for the long haul.

Emma Liston is an unconventional healer whose journey began with an early passion for animal welfare. Though initially drawn to veterinary medicine, her path took an unexpected turn that ultimately led her to discover her true calling. After years of not finding fulfilment in traditional careers, her life transformed when she encountered Reiki in her mid-30s, igniting a spark that would reshape her professional destiny.   Emma’s evolution as a healer accelerated in 2020 when she expanded her practice to include various alternative modalities, from aromatherapy to crystal healing, sound therapy, and beyond. The pivotal moment came in 2022 when her study of quantum hypnotherapy catalysed a profound transformation in her healing abilities, elevating her traditional Reiki practice into something uniquely powerful and leading to the creation of her business, Being Magic, a space where she now combines her passion for healing with her love for animals.   Today, Emma’s practice spans the globe, primarily operating online with a select number of in-person clients. Her work extends beyond healing to include interspecies communication, enabling deeper connections with her animal clients. Through her YouTube channel, she shares her experiences and creates energetic healing containers for animals suffering from pain, stress, and overwhelm. She's also cultivated a close-knit community where followers can engage with her more personally and as part of a community.   Emma’s diverse offerings include card readings and energetic healing sessions for humans, alongside her own line of vibrational elixirs and aromatherapy products. Her expertise seamlessly bridge the human-animal divide, making healing accessible to all beings. Looking ahead, she dreams of establishing an animal sanctuary ranch, providing a haven for all animals in need.
