Participant feedback:

"I find Edwina to be so engaging as a presenter and mentor. She presents concepts, which are at times complex, in a way that I am able to understand and visualise how I can implement in my business in a practical way.

Edwina fosters an environment in her sessions where I can get comfortable with being uncomfortable and where I feel that I can ask questions or be vulnerable and no one would think differently of me.

The 1:1 mentoring sessions with Ed have been invaluable!! I leave with an overwhelming feeling of empowerment and inspiration and tangible and achievable goals." Katelyn Wall, Walls Honey Co.
