Magdalena Taramina Szymanska, a licensed cosmetologist and the owner of Blooming Orchid Room, located in Edenbridge, United Kingdom. Magda's story is one of resilience, dedication, and a commitment to personal and professional growth.   Born and raised in Poland, Magda completed her BA degree in 2010 before relocating to the United Kingdom with her husband and two children in 2011. Upon arrival, she faced an immediate language barrier, which necessitated a focus on raising her children while navigating various jobs, including cleaning, working as a barista, and serving as a support worker. The latter role provided her with profound insights into the challenges faced by individuals with mental and physical disabilities, a perspective that would serve her well in later endeavors.   Magda's career took an unexpected turn as she encountered challenges related to her daughter's behavior. In her quest for answers and support, especially when faced with delays in obtaining a diagnosis within the UK, she bravely returned to Poland for assistance. During this period, a speech and language therapist recommended Polyvagal therapy for her daughter—an experience that deepened Magda's understanding of special needs, drawing upon her five years of experience as a support worker.   Realizing the importance of well-being and self-care, Magda returned to her roots and began focusing on holistic health practices. She started her journey into facial massage. Over time, she broadened her repertoire to encompass body massage and various holistic therapies, such as fire cupping, ear conching, auriculotherapy, and facial acupuncture.   Today, through her business, Blooming Orchid Room, Magda offers a range of services that reflect her passion for holistic wellness and her deep understanding of individual needs. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential for personal growth that arises from life’s challenges.

Nella Mehissou is a Transformation & Leadership Coach, PCM®-certified, working at the intersection of safety leadership, organizational culture, and intercultural leadership. Her expertise wasn't built in a classroom alone; it was forged across borders: Benin, the United States, Niger, Germany, France, and beyond. Each place added a layer to how she understands leadership, culture, and what it takes to truly show up as yourself. Growing up across cultures with very different relationships to visibility and success, Nella wasn't always taught to take up space or be fully seen, and she learned to navigate that tension rather than shrink from it. At a pivotal moment in her career, she was underestimated by others who didn't see her full capability. She did. That quiet, unshakable faith in her own potential, even when the world around her didn't reflect it back, became the foundation of a belief she now builds her work around: people rarely lack capability. More often, they simply haven't been shown, or given the space to show what was already there. That belief became Beyond ("au-delà des possibles," beyond what's possible), the bilingual coaching, training, and consulting practice she founded around the principle of coach, choice, impact: intercultural and multigenerational leadership training for organizations, individual accompaniment for professionals stepping fully into who they're becoming, and collective experiences that open conversations people don't usually get to have. She also teaches intercultural leadership to MBA students, including at KEDGE Business School. Her mission is simple to state and demanding to live: she lights the way, helping people see differently so they can choose differently, revealing possibilities that were there all along.
