Maria Isa believes legacy isn't about what you leave behind but rather about transforming your expertise into impact you can witness. A former Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive strategist, she spent years making products unforgettable across Africa's most competitive markets. Her work taught her to read the room and to spot shifts before they happen, to understand where value is moving, and to position brands for what's coming next. Today, she's applying that same foresight to people. Through her experience in marketing, Maria observed a shift taking shape. As AI rises and organisations lean toward younger, more cost-efficient workforces, a generation of deeply experienced professionals is being quietly edged out. Not because their wisdom has expired but because the system no longer knows what to do with them. These are people with decades of lived experience. Lessons that can't be Googled. Insights that could save others years of struggle. Maria sees this not as a tragedy, but as a gap. A gap between expertise that still has immense value and a world that's quickly forgetting how to access it. Through AfriMaisha Marketing Consulting, she works as a Legacy Architect and Internationally Certified mBIT Coach, helping experienced leaders do what she once did for global brands: extract their wisdom, structure it into a bankable brand, and build a presence that AI can never replicate. Her signature process transforms decades of hard-won experience into a system so clear and ownable that opportunities start coming to them instead of the other way around. Through mBIT neuroscience coaching, she aligns head, heart, and gut—ensuring her clients show up with presence that is fully aligned with who they are. Her clients go from being quietly edged out to becoming voices that influence generations. They land opportunities they thought were behind them. And they gain the quiet peace of watching their impact unfold while they're still here to enjoy it. Maria is the author of Modern Advertising Essentials and brings deep cross-cultural experience from her work across Africa. Her philosophy is simple: your life's wisdom is your greatest asset. In a world that's quick to move past you, she helps you build something permanent with it.

Liz Bell is a Career and Positive Intelligence® Coach who helps purpose-driven women overcome burnout and self-doubt so they can create fulfilling, impactful, and sustainable careers.   Her work was born from her own experience of career burnout. After creating a more aligned career path and retraining as a coach, Liz began supporting women navigating career change. Over time, she noticed a recurring pattern: both she and her clients could achieve significant breakthroughs, yet many of the underlying habits that contributed to burnout continued to reappear. This insight led her to Positive Intelligence®, a mental fitness framework that transformed her own approach to growth and lasting change.   Drawing on her interest in human cognition, learning, and behavioural change, Liz helps clients understand not only what they do, but how they think, interpret experiences, and create the habits that influence their lives and careers. Rather than offering advice or quick fixes, she creates a supportive and non-judgemental space where clients can develop deeper self-awareness, recognise self-sabotaging behaviours with compassion, and build the confidence to create meaningful change that lasts.   Liz's clients have transitioned into new careers, moved from corporate roles into purpose-driven work, built successful businesses, improved professional and personal relationships, and created greater balance and fulfillment in their lives. Beyond external achievements, she is most passionate about helping people develop the self-awareness, resilience, and mental fitness needed to navigate future challenges with confidence and joy.   Liz holds a BSc (Hons) in Social Sciences from the Open University, a Life Coaching Diploma with Distinction, Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTTLS), Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Teaching (CELTA), a Future Learn Certificate in Coaching in Education, and is a licensed Firework™ Career Coach and Positive Intelligence® Coach Member.   Alongside her coaching practice, Liz delivers workshops, training, and speaking engagements for organisations, women's networks, and community groups. She has appeared on the Business In Later Life Podcast, co-hosted an International Women's Day event, spoken at the She Lead Summit on the theme of Becoming, and has been a guest speaker for the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership at City College, Plymouth.   Her vision is a world where greater self-awareness creates deeper connection, interdependence, and respect for the unique gifts each person brings to their family, work, and community.
