"I loved meeting trailblazers, changemakers, and remarkable women dedicated to their mission, and making a difference in the world. Being surrounded by these women was like a green light from the Universe, that I was on the right path, and it felt blissful. I also loved celebrating all of these amazing women for their achievements and dedication to their purpose. It was an emotional night helping all of us to feel inspired, uplifted, and celebrated."

Dr Tererai Trent Masterclass
Dr. Tererai Trent is a world-renowned humanitarian, educator, and author who has served as a consultant to major international aid organizations in program and policy evaluation. She is a fellow at the Center of AIDS Prevention Studies at the University of California, San Francisco and an adjunct professor in the School of Public Health at Drexel University.
From the moment she wrote down her dreams of going to America for higher education, sealed them in a tin can, and buried them under a rock, Dr. Trent launched a narrative of turning oppression and injustice into opportunity that serves as a beacon of hope for women everywhere. Her soul-stirring talks not only bring tears to eyes and smiles to faces, but also include practical, actionable steps to achieve one’s goals and overcome the most daunting challenges.

SUE KOHN-TAYLOR
Sue Kohn-Taylor is the Founder of The Mental Fitness Company, and a passionate lover of life, a constant "look for the silver linings" kind of person. From 1:1 coaching to guiding entire workforces, Sue’s direct and relatable training, using real-life experience is sought-after in New Zealand, Australia and across the globe. She sees that life in its current form, is causing us to be more stressed and anxious. We have complicated what it is to be human. A regular on TV, a column writer and a frequent conference speaker, she dedicates her time to sharing her vision, because she believes that when you practice embodied self-leadership you're able to value, motivate, and bring out the best in yourself and the people around you. Embodied leadership isn't something you do – it's who you are. She also knows from life experience, that to be your optimal self each day requires mental & emotional fitness. It is the most important gateway to gaining freedom over daily challenges and any life event. Sue champions the concept of the “The Ripple Effect” – the influence of our own self leadership positively impacts our family, partners, friends, colleagues and communities.
