A "jill" of all trades, Joslynn Thomas has experience across multiple industries, including corporate, military, film, service, design, and beauty. After spending a decade attempting to fit the status quo - under the influence of an unchanging society amongst greatly changing times - she gained the ultimate wisdom in hindsight: far more importantly than who she was "supposed" to be, was who she had always been.   Starting with the very first theory she wrote at 15 - a thought experiment about the brain vs. the mind - her studies naturally evolved to Psychology, Behavioral Science, and Sociology in early college. She later enriched her multi-cultural experiences and network connections with independent research in Philosophy, Spirituality, and Phenomology. Ultimately she gained enough unique perspective and language to curate a practical application of her synthesis, through a process that combined her knowledge and daily lived experience.   After six years of personal experimentation and honing her approach, Joslynn streamlined this process for others to move beyond the hustle-and-grind mentality and into a life of intentional living and purpose-driven success.   As the founder and CEO of The Legacy Way, Joslynn is building a personal and aspirational mastery institute that empowers individuals to architect their lives on their own terms. Through the LEGACY Mastermind, a year-long, immersive membership experience, she helps participants align their personal characterisitics, regulated environments, and passion and expertise with their Vision, stepping confidently and profitably into their unique authority while simultaneously living to the fullest. The LEGACY Mastermind emphasizes personal mastery with an integrative approach to lifestyle and business development, guiding participants in systemizing their inherent patterns and curating their active practices.   Joslynn’s mission is to build a collective of Visionaries who can confidently pilot their own lives while fostering community-oriented collaboration and exchange. Through The Legacy Way, she guides the next generation of visionaries, leaders, and lifestyle entrepreneurs to create legacies of their choosing, breaking free from trial-and-error living and stepping into a life of purpose, intentionality, and impact.

James Westphal is a communication, presence and performance coach based in London. He works with executives, partners and senior professionals across law, financial services, technology and the creative industries. Through his company, James Westphal Creative Development, he has coached senior figures at Linklaters, Toyota, Tesco, Capital.com and Media Arts Lab (Apple's dedicated marketing agency), alongside the global development company DAI Global. His work covers high-stakes presentations, investor pitches, oral advocacy and the pressure of speaking in front of people whose judgement carries weight. He holds a Master's degree in Psychological Sciences, which underpins his approach to cognitive reframing, behavioural change and regulation of the nervous system under pressure. He is also a working actor. He trained at a leading drama school, where he earned a first-class degree, and has performed at Shakespeare's Globe, the Arcola Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre and across the Off-West End, with screen work for ITV and the feature film Nomad. James leads the Part-Time Foundation Acting Course at ArtsEd and is an Associate Lecturer at University of the Arts London. He continues to coach professional actors on audition and performance technique. His approach treats communication as a technical craft rather than a question of confidence or personality: physiological, psychological and behavioural, trained through video and audio analysis so that what a speaker intends and what an audience receives are the same thing.
