- Willie Nicholson, Business Consultant, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
Willie Nicholson is a nomadic leader who has a wandering soul that has taken him across many different sectors including construction, retail, finance, manufacturing, government, education, and others. After working his way up from entry-level jobs to management, he understood that leadership is not merely a title and a role, but, rather an opportunity to empower others. All too often, he had seen leaders get lost in themselves and their goals and positions forgetting the wellbeing of others and their lives. Willie contributed much of his free time working in schools including heading a high school tech academy, working with a school board to improve student learning, guest teaching university students, leading MBA leadership training, and coaching youth sports for over 20 years. He created a curriculum and thought leadership insights for employees. He taught project management skills to teams and provided free business coaching and consulting to small struggling businesses. As a persuasive expert, he built teams based on being sensitive to his team's families and their needs. Growing up as an athlete taught him the value of all members of a team. This carried over into serving in different levels of management and the value of his team members. As a vice president of technology, he oversaw large-scale projects while serving on the executive team to develop and implement strategy. He has spoken at conferences and other events. Willie is not an award-winning, TED talk-accomplished speaker or high-profile leader. He simply cracked the code of what it takes to be an effective business leader that he sought as an employee, a parent, and as a person himself.

- Melissa Jane Reinke, Pilates Instructor & Studio Owner, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
Melissa Jane Reinke: The Power of Pilates For over 20 years, Melissa Jane Reinke has dedicated her career to helping clients achieve their health and recovery goals through Pilates. Born in Sydney, she initially built a career in finance at Macquarie Bank before a spinal injury led her to discover the transformative benefits of Pilates. Following an 18-month Pilates teacher training program in 2006 at Belsize Studio in London, she became a certified instructor, gaining experience at top studios before establishing her own practice. Melissa opened her first private studio in West Hampstead in 2010, later expanding to a larger space in St John’s Wood. Alongside her Pilates career, she rekindled her childhood passion for figure skating, winning the 2016 British Adult Championships. However, a severe ankle injury ended her competitive skating journey, reinforcing her belief in Pilates for rehabilitation. Despite challenges—including lockdowns and a major flood—Melissa adapted and refined her business, relocating her studio in 2022 to a smaller, boutique space with a focus on personalised Pilates training with state-of-the-art equipment. She has trained extensively, incorporating Garuda and soon, The Spinal Backrack into her practice. Committed to continuous learning, Melissa will travel this summer to train in Barcelona with renowned Pilates expert Brooke Siler. Her journey from finance to fitness, and from injury to recovery, is a testament to the transformative power of Pilates.
