Guest Speaker
Quote or Ethos you live by: 
"There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something" Henry Ford
Who's inspired you?: 
I love music, especially Annie Lennox. She's a highly accomplished singer/writer/musician who continues to re-invent herself, dares to be different and goes from strength to strength. She also does lots of international charity and humanitarian work. And, of course, back in the mid 80s she gave us one of the best anthems for us girls - "Sisters are doin' it for themselves". I still love it!
What sums up inspiration for you?: 
It’s an emotional thing. It’s what sets the pulse racing, gets you out of bed in the morning and gives you the confidence and determination – be it in your private or business life – to say I can do that!
