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.

Hi, I’m Nina, the founder of Inner Balance Company. I guide people in reconnecting with themselves through breathwork and Kundalini.   I grew up in Amsterdam with a deep curiosity about health and wellness. Over the years, practices like sports, nutrition, breathwork, Kundalini, and cold training have shaped my understanding of balance and well-being.   Breathwork came into my life during a challenging time and became a powerful tool to face old pain, release tension, and find clarity and presence. It helped me process deep emotional layers and reconnect with myself in a more truthful way. That opened the door to healing and growth.   As I stayed consistent with the practice, I felt more steady, more present, and more connected. When combined with Kundalini energy, it unlocked deep transformation - helping me tap into my inner power and bringing a sense of clarity, balance, and alignment.   I naturally create a warm, welcoming space and enjoy guiding others in this work. Each session is personal, grounded, and supportive of your process.   As a certified breathwork coach (Mr. Breath), yoga teacher (Sampoorna Yoga India, Rise and Shine Yoga Ibiza), and Kundalini facilitator (Mu-Coaching), I offer an approach that brings together diverse tools to support your journey.

Lori Cox is an experienced business and technology leader, entrepreneur, and founder of Phoenix Arbor whose work explores the intersection of meaningful success, wellbeing, resilience, and human potential. Over more than 20 years, Lori has built a career spanning entrepreneurship, marketing, business development, revenue leadership, and technology. She founded and grew Red Dragon Marketing before its acquisition in 2019 and later held senior leadership roles in fast-moving business and technology environments. Along the way, her own experience with burnout and reinvention prompted a deeper question: What if succeeding in our work and caring for ourselves were never meant to be opposing choices? That question led Lori to study and practice Ayurveda, meditation, wellbeing coaching, and behavior change, and ultimately to found Phoenix Arbor. She is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, a certified Ayurveda Instructor and Meditation Instructor through Chopra Global, and holds an Executive MBA from Saint Mary's University. Today, Lori leads a team of practitioners at Phoenix Arbor who develop and deliver wellbeing and leadership experiences designed to help people create greater clarity, resilience, alignment, and sustainable change. Her own writing and speaking explore resilience beyond grit, sustainable ambition, the wisdom we can learn from nature, and the human capacities that become increasingly important as technology and AI accelerate our lives. Rather than offering another formula for how people should live, Lori's work helps create the awareness and space to see more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and make more intentional choices about what comes next.

Linn Angell is an intuitive educator, writer, and founder of 144 Education NGO, working at the intersection of education, conscious living, and human transformation. Her work focuses on creating more compassionate and human-centered approaches to learning, leadership, and aligned creation for the New Generation. She holds bachelor’s degrees in Teaching and Social Anthropology and Psychology, and is currently completing a Master’s degree in Leadership in Education. Through advanced studies in higher-consciousness teaching and learning and through her visions, she developed the Pedagogic Meditation framework - a methodology integrating presence, visualization, breathing techniques, and heart-centered learning into modern education. After years of classroom experience, Linn became increasingly aware of the growing disconnection many students experience from creativity, motivation, emotional wellbeing, and inner purpose. This led to her long-term vision of helping co-create a new educational model - 144 Education, designed to support both academic growth and human development for a more conscious future. Alongside her educational work, Linn entered a deeper journey of self-transformation and exploration of what she describes as the New Light - a shift toward more conscious, love-centered living and creation. This process became the foundation for her calling to support others in releasing karmic patterns, reconnecting with purpose, and anchoring aligned creation in their lives and work. This journey eventually led to the creation of two core frameworks for the new paradigm: Pedagogic Meditation (144) for educators and schools, and the Light Warrior framework for conscious Coaches. Her work is grounded in one central vision: to contribute to a more conscious and compassionate world through education, aligned creation, and the transformation of fear into love.

Darren Scott Jewell is a NeuroResilience Coach, inspirational speaker and a brain injury thriver who helps people build calm, focus and confidence by working with the brain and nervous system, not against them. His work is rooted in lived experience. After a childhood balcony fall, Darren grew up believing his struggles were "just the way he was." In adulthood, he discovered something life-changing, one-third of his brain was non-functional since that early injury. Instead of accepting limitation as his identity, he committed to training his brain with gentle, consistent practices grounded in neuroplasticity. Over time, Darren rebuilt cognitive-function, strengthened emotional regulation and learned that real resilience isn't hardness, it's steadiness. He now teaches others how to create sustainable change without burnout, using practical tools that make the body feel safe enough to grow. His approach blends neuroscience, habit design, compassion, turning overwhelm in clear and next steps people can actually follow. Darren's mission has been intensified by family experience. He lost his mum, Elizabeth to vascular dementia after a long fight in October 2025 and his dad lives with a mix of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. That reality fuels Darren's commitment to helping reduce the number of lives these cruel illnesses affect, through education, prevention-focused lifestyle change and the daily training that keeps the brain as healthy as possible. Whether he is on stage, coaching or creating content, Darren is known for translating complex brain science into reliable, human language. His message is simple and powerful: You are not broken you are patterned and with the right support and repetition, patterns can be updated.
