Grace is just so inspiring! Normally residing in NYC, she is based in Turks & Caicos during the lockdown so the view is amazing too!
Grace grew up in a large family surrounded by love. Heavily influenced by her amazing grandmother, she always aimed high. After their family home burned down just as she was starting college, her father vowed to keep the family together so 14 of them lived in a homeless shelter for most of her first year which was confronting. She studied at the prestigious Wharton College and her first job was on Wall St!
Grace LOVES numbers so finance was the obvious path for her to follow and she eventually started her own business, Grace Global Capital where she specialises in insurance. Her description of getting a position on her first Board is incredibly inspiring and will make you want to make a difference too.
Grace’s story is one you won’t want to miss. Her grandmother’s advice alone will have you cheering her on!

Fabian is an Australian icon and a huge champion of women in leadership. The Founder and CEO of The Dattner group, the Compass Program for visionary women and Homeward Bound, Fabian is a total inspiration!
Taking over the role as CEO for her father’s business, the Stephen Dattner leather retailing group at the ripe old age of 30, Fabian had a very early business lesson when the business went into liquidation soon afterwards. It gave her the impetus to set up The Dattner Group.
Fabian is firmly focused on helping women in leadership roles, because she believes that if there were more women making decisions, we would have a better world. So she started the Compass program for women, to help them realise their ambitions and their power.
Her Homeward Bound program is all about women in STEM. She takes big groups of them to the Antarctic every year so they can learn about leadership, how to survive in a man’s world, and also to help them connect and understand they are not alone. She has done this five times now and has taken over 800 women which is an extraordinary achievement.
This woman is an absolute powerhouse!

00:00 Intro
“Sharon Pearson, Founder of The Coaching Institute and author of the international bestseller, Ultimate You, is brilliant. Her Life Coaching program is now running in over 94 countries around the world and Sharon has reached over 15M people and trained over 9000 coaches globally. Hows that!.
Starting out as an independent girl, who wore her ‘heart on her sleeve’ (and still does) from an unusual family of ‘left of centre’ parents, where she moved around a lot and had some amazing experiences. School wasn’t a favourite for her so she had a variety of jobs before finally starting her own business at 37!
From that moment on, she flourished, and so did her business. She found herself a coach, started to love herself instead of beating herself up, and the phone started to ring. She made more than $250K profit in her first year, from organic referrals alone, and over $1M in her second year.
She started to coach coaches and picked up some great clients (thank you Flight Centre!) and the business grew and grew.
You will be so inspired by Sharon’s amazing story and meteoric growth to hold the title of one of the world’s most successful coaches. This is one interview not to miss!”

Adina Jacobs, the co-founder of STM Goods and Co-Founder of Mentor Walks with Bobbi Mahlab, is amazing!
She started STM Goods back in 1998 with her business partner Ethan. They were early pioneers in developing protective backpacks and accessories for laptops, (at a time when not everyone had personal tech). Getting their business off the ground took a lot of persistence and so did finding their audience.
Over the past 22 years, STM has expanded globally, undergone a major rebrand and launched a virtual AR app – which has given Adina lots of insights and business learnings. Most recently, with many businesses moving to a remote set up during recent months, the demand for protective accessories for digital devices grew almost overnight, seeing a surge for the products STM had long been developing. This surge in growth has a big learning curve (albeit a positive one) in agility and resilience.
Adina’s story, and what she has learned along the way will really inspire you!

Many of us grew up seeing Tracey Spicer on the TV reading the news on Channel 10. These days she is an author, MC and broadcaster, with a strong focus on women.
Growing up in Queensland, she knew from an early age that she wanted to be a journalist, and after winning a prize for rural journalism, she was able to score a job at a radio station in Brisbane, which started her broadcasting career and was followed by a stint at 3AW in Melbourne..
Soon after, she became the newsreader for Eyewitness News on Channel 10 where she stayed for 16 years, this lead her to Sky News and writing a regular column for News Ltd.
During that time she became a household name, but eventually, she was ‘let go’ following her maternity leave when her second child was only 2 months old. She sued the network for discrimination (good on her!)
In 2015 she launched her controversial book, The Good Girl Stripped Bare, and started really focusing on being an advocate for women. On the back of the #metoo movement, Tracey produced and hosted a documentary called Silent no More, that focused on the powerful men in the Australian media abusing their power.
These days Tracey has her fingers in lots of pies! From being a member of a number of boards to writing another book around the growth of technology (AI and unconscious bias) and more! Tracey is a total inspiration!
