Sharon Wright, musician, certified life coach and naturopath, is passionate about supporting people to live a soulful life. Her philosophy is to consistently evolve in love through relationships that offer observation and space. She’s passionate about holistic wellness and feels a holistic connection between the body and its environment through vibrational awareness and presence. Sharon is committed to consistent learning and has completed many energy healing modalities, but she also understands that theory isn’t everything and love must be lived! She realised that the energetic quality of the body’s movements directly effect the quality of thoughts. She would guide her daughter with gentle reconnecting voice techniques during panic attacks that she suffered as a teen and later added these soulful voice techniques to her coaching programs to help her clients reconnect and express themselves through a body moving in the grace of truth, transparency and love. Sharon’s working life is varied but beautifully creates a unique tapestry that helps her serve her clients. She performed in pop bands in her early 20s, but finally settled in Spain where she met her husband and taught music and English both privately and at an International School in Madrid. After an impromptu move back to the UK in 2011, Sharon completed a level 5 HR management diploma and flourished in her role as she developed her communication, people and relationships skills. She went on to become the company director. Her love of people led to her completing an ICF accredited diploma in transformational coaching which perfectly complemented her career and later, her business. Sharon is speaking in the annual ‘Lead With Your Voice Summit’ and is currently writing her debut book ‘Bully’ which is a story about imposition and how the voice can be used to harm or heal. She also writes music to clear buried emotions. The songs are produced with energetic integrity to facilitate healing. “Energetic integrity means making love the first movement of your day-to-day. From the food you eat and won’t eat to the commitment to purpose in life and all who are a part of it, energy is everything.” Sharon lives in the South of Spain with her husband of 33 years.

Helena Demuynck stands at the forefront of women's leadership transformation, devoted to guiding high-potential female leaders beyond conventional success metrics toward authentic, purpose-driven impact.   Drawing from extensive experience in executive environments, Helena recognized a critical pattern: many accomplished women reach impressive career heights while feeling disconnected from their core purpose and true potential.   This insight catalyzed her pioneering approach that merges evidence-based leadership methodologies and NLP with holistic transformation principles. Helena's signature programs have revolutionized how female executives navigate complex organizational dynamics while remaining true to their authentic leadership voice.   As the visionary author of It's Your Turn: Break Free from Societal Boxes and Manifest Your True Greatness, Helena articulates a bold framework for women to dismantle internalized limitations and step fully into their leadership power.   Her work transcends traditional coaching by addressing both external challenges and the internal belief systems that often create invisible barriers to advancement.   Helena's media platforms serve as vital forums for reimagining female leadership. Through The Boundary Breakers Collective, she showcases women who've defied conventional expectations to create remarkable impact. Her weekly Power Talks for Remarkable Females delves into crucial conversations about authentic influence, strategic visibility, and sustainable success.   Her transformative leadership programs—from intimate VIP retreats in the Andalusian mountains to exclusive high-level MasterMinds—have guided women across industries to achieve breakthrough results while maintaining personal wellbeing.   A captivating keynote speaker, Helena partners with progressive organizations committed to developing diverse leadership pipelines and creating cultures where women thrive without compromise.   With an approach grounded in both strategic acumen and emotional intelligence, Helena champions a new paradigm where women lead from aligned authenticity rather than exhausting adaptation. Her ultimate vision: a world where women's unique leadership gifts are fully expressed, valued, and leveraged to address our most pressing global challenges.
