Alex Gede came from a family that struggled with health and weight issues. He could see the problems his aunts were having—mobility problems and diabetes. This must have had an impact on him as he grew up not liking food. He would have an apple for breakfast and a small dinner, but nothing more.   As a young teenager, he was already 6’3’’ and was dreaming of becoming a model. But his confidence was destroyed by bullies in school calling him names like ‘bones’ because of how skinny he was and only weighing 132 pounds. Also, his family wanted him to go to university to study Engineering or Medicine. He later settled for Accounting and Finance.   After university and years working in the Bank, he finally found the courage to start going to the gym. His body transformation in less than a year got the attention of many on social media and ended up being featured on Men’s Health Online. This new found love for working out gave him the confidence he needed to start modelling which has always been his true love.   Alex Gede went on to compete in Mr Ideal Nigeria where he won a title and was invited to compete in Mr Africa International 2016 where he came first runner-up. Since then he has worked on many brands and campaigns. His physique naturally moved him into fitness and underwear modelling. After paying so much money on his first e-commerce brand and still didn’t like it, he dedicated his time to studying and learning all about e-commerce and even became a Shopify Partner. He went on to start his gym wear brand. This was how his love for e-commerce started. Unfortunately, the brand was founded with a friend who did not want to have any contact with him when he came out so the brand was dissolved.   After working with most of the well-known underwear brands, he realised that comfortable underwear are not very attractive and the good-looking ones that you would like to show off are very uncomfortable. This led him to start working on his designs and learning how to design underwear during the lockdown. The brand was launched in 2021 and has been growing ever seen even being included in two of the biggest underwear subscription and men's grooming boxes.   His brand Club Seven Menswear was founded in 2021 and in 2023 won Luxury Men's Underwear Brand of the Year from UK Enterprise Awards 2023. He now spends his time coaching brands, consulting on branding and e-commerce, modelling, and anything he enjoys doing.

From my earliest moment of memory, I have always wanted to be the best I can be, in all aspects of my life. Having to work hard to achieve, vs being naturally gifted, hard work was engrained into me from the beginning. Be that at school, on the Moto X track, or whilst playing American Football (representing the UK at one point), hard work always saw me achieve beyond my actual capabilities. The ultimate achievements obtained by hard work being a 1st class Honours degree in Accountancy & Finance,, going on to becoming a member (now Fellow) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, being awarded 4 world prizes by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries & Administrators on the way to membership, becoming a central equity partner at one of the best private Accountancy Firms in the UK, to being awarded an Honorary Degree for services rendered by the University Of Lincoln. Working in the hay fields with my Dad as a 7 year old, or in the Ice Cream Factory at 3am, the joy of work, the ecstasy of achievement of tasks always inspire me to look for more. Today, as a successful CEO of a couple of Global Brands, my search for personal growth is relentless. Seeking to always find people who I can learn from, with the mantra of "I know that I don't know what I don't know" and a healthy level of curiosity & scepticism, my journey to understand myself is a moment by moment ongoing practice. Fortunate enough along the way to have been able to meet, befriend and learn from many exceptional & extraordinary people, I have been blessed to be exposed to many cutting edge self development opportunities, in the business world, in the self development world, in the sporting arena, and in daily life. What I do know is that I will seek to grow personally every day of my life. If that growth & that journey helps inspire others to undertake their own journey of self discovery, then that is the cherry on the cake. My life mission is to be the very best I can be, and through my journey, meet and learn from others, and hopefully inspire others to do the same for themselves.

With nearly 30 years of experience in healthcare and wellness, this holistic healing practitioner brings a deeply integrative approach to mind-body restoration. She began her career in Medical Informatics and later took part in a government-funded research project in Japan (1998–2001) exploring the causes and rise of lifestyle diseases. That work ignited a lifelong passion for understanding how nutrition, lifestyle, and trauma shape our health and quality of life. Today, she is a certified Somatic Therapist, EMDR Practitioner, and Nutrition & Wellness Coach, blending trauma-informed care with evidence-based nutrition and plant medicine to support healing on every level—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Her advanced training in the neurobiology of trauma, somatic EMDR, and plant-based wellness (including studies at Cornell University) equips her to guide clients through complex trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation. She currently practices at The Elephant Rooms in the Turks and Caicos Islands and is listed in The Embody Lab Therapist Directory. She is also a registered member of the Caribbean Association of Behavioral Analysis (CABA). Whether working with individuals healing from trauma or guiding groups through wellness retreats, her approach is client-centered, grounded, and compassionate. She believes in creating a safe and empowering space where healing can happen, where clients can reconnect with their bodies, reduce inflammation, release stored trauma, and cultivate resilience from the inside out. In addition to her therapeutic work, she is a passionate speaker, educator, and retreat host. When she's not supporting clients, you'll likely find her gardening, capturing beauty through photography, or exploring new ways to live and share a vibrant, plant-powered life.

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.

Hi, I’m Amy Noyes. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been pattern-matching relational dynamics, studying how people interact to make sense of the relationships around me. As a child, I practiced this by observing television characters; today, I apply it to real-life connections. I’ve been described as a “double empathy” translator and as someone who can turn personal experiences into universal insights that help others understand themselves more deeply. Only later did I realize how directly this connects to being both Autistic and ADHD. My neurodivergence is at the heart of my perspective. Professionally, this has evolved into a deep, enduring commitment to understanding all aspects of neurodivergence. I hold Master's degrees in Transpersonal Psychology and Autism Studies, complementing my background in Social Work, and have built my career around supporting neurodivergent individuals. I meet clients exactly where they are, bringing presence, intention, and a deep respect for their process. Through active listening, reflection, and collaborative exploration, I help people uncover and embrace their authentic ways of being. It is the honor of my life to walk alongside neurodivergent people, whether they’re just beginning to explore their identity or are seeking clarity around access needs. My work is rooted in the belief that understanding oneself is a powerful form of liberation, and I am here for every step of that journey.
