Sheila has a wonderful story that she tells about how she came to the United States in 2000 and shortly thereafter, began studying the piano and taking voice lessons, and within just a couple years, she took a shot and pursued working as a model and actress. She "took the bull by the horns" (as I like to say) and went off into various, yet specific directions, but all within the field of entertainment (if you had to categorize it under one umbrella). Her story is very uplifting and will give you a great understanding of the potential that lies within us all, if you just look at what you have (within you) and keep moving in a direction that allows you to use and implement the things you love most and keep learning more and more .. so you can keep improving and growing.

I developed a system "new thinking for mastering effectiveness in a changing world" known as QuantumThink. The QuantumThink system is comprised of 21 principles and practices for the mind and awareness that enables us to take command of our life by learning the way our habits of thinking affect our experiences and outcomes. In 1997 I trademarked this new system of thinking, QuantumThink(r). In the QuantumThink principles--known as "distinctions in thinking--I draw upon a wide ranges of sources from cutting edge innovations in the sciences to the insights of the world's great teachers of ageless and spiritual wisdom. I put it all together into practical living wisdom that makes sense of our changing world and teaches us to integrate new levels of awareness toward our own mastery in expressing what we are uniquely here to express for ourselves and the world.

I was an overachiever in high school, getting a 92.65 ENTER score, but because I was so good at everything it was so difficult to pick a career path. I got into Law at Deakin so that's what I did for a year & a half, but I found I wasn't passionate about it and didn't think it was worth spending another 4 years to come to the same conclusion. The first place that hired me was an insurance brokerage in a reception role, and it was here, after I’d stopped learning, that I realised that was my passion. I was good at everything (not great, just good) because I was excellent at learning. It took me a while but I eventually gained the confidence to take a chance on myself and move to an Account Manager position with another brokerage where I also started my Bachelor of Commerce (part time, off campus). After 18 months there I moved to an Assistant Underwriter position with an Underwriting Agency where I was given the opportunity to take control of their business processes and played an integral role in helping the business become profitable again ...

When Antonie was in school, he did well academically but he wasn't sure what he wanted to be when he got older. He had some ideas of becoming an attorney, studying medicine, etc. but never had his head set on it. In just a short time, through his efforts, he created "Tribulant Software" which is a software development company which specializes in premium WordPress plugins. His company develops, markets, sells and supports useful and purposeful WordPress plugins to the community of WordPress users. If you are interested in programming and the thought of developing software (such as Wordpress plugins) for use by website developers and website builders, you too can start your own company. Listen to Antonie Potgieter of Tribulant talk about how he began with very little capital and all within a relatively short period of time.

I am a multi-award winning author and illustrator for series of books : Sewing a Friendship. The series has 10 books and each book has a different message. My books have a lot of illustrations because I love to draw and I believe in art so much! When my first book was published in December 2009, there was a question: how I will market it? So, at age 10 I start giving presentations to different group of people.

Established my service-led hotel brand (the umi London hotel to begin with) aged 26. I then opened umi Brighton, then partnered with investors to bring the Petrovka Loft Hotel in Moscow into the umi Hotels group. In 2010 I set up umi Marketing, a hospitality industry design and marketing agency and this is now part of umi Digital which also includes a booking software brand Book it With. I have had over 150 students working at umi on work experience or internship placements, from many different countries and host a minimum of two students at any one time. I also speak regularly at academic institutions and I am a Board Director for BETA (British Educational Travel Association) and STAYWYSE which I earned because of my work supporting young people. In 2010 I was proudly awarded the Hotel & Caterer Magazine Acorn Award which is given to the most promising 30 under 30 within the hospitality industry.
