Interview
How do you take care of your
body, mind and soul?
I always find time to meditate. This is where I
get to take a mini holiday for twenty minutes
twice a day to recharge every part of me. It’s the
only thing I’ve found that works to completely
replenish myself, calm my mind and it gives me
so much more energy. During transcendental
meditation all my questions seem to be
miraculously answered and I love the feeling of
enlightenment and peace it gives me where I
am truly connecting with my inner Self.
There are hundreds of scientific studies that
show Transcendental Meditation reduces
stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and high
blood pressure. TM has amazing effects on the
brain from clearer thinking, brain coherence,
improved memory, greater creativity and
increased productivity. I love it because it’s
so easy to do and I can do it anywhere which
works with my hectic schedule.
I go on regular retreats at the Maharishi Peace
Palace in Suffolk which is built according to the
principles of Vedic Architecture to enhance
wellbeing. Every time I stay there even if it’s for
a few days, I leave feeling like I’ve had a month’s
holiday and so well rested. Taking time out to
really connect with yourself is so important to
survive the demands of daily life.
Which person inspires you and
why?
I have been inspired by the teachings of
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who was an incredible
spiritual leader who started a worldwide
movement. He introduced Transcendental
Meditation all over the world. I am in awe
of how one person can positively change
the lives of so many millions of people, he
is my inspiration for creating a worldwide
mentoring movement. Growing up I admired
Mother Theresa for her commitment and total
devotion and for being so selfless and giving
to others.
Branding or Bragging?
Definitely Branding, if you do branding
42
correctly it does the bragging for you! Bragging
can last for just seconds whereas branding is
for the long term. I created Broadcasting Your
Business Mentoring to get clients noticed for
the right reasons. So many people come to me
wanting national press or to be on television
but they don’t have the right message or
properly crafted story. With twenty-five years’
experience in media I know what it takes
to make a good brand story to stay the test
of time, it’s no good being a one hit wonder.
There’s so much psychology involved in
branding, it’s about having the whole package,
your reputation - online and offline, unique
values, beliefs and brand personality. Craft
your message wisely before sending it out to
the media because once it’s out there it’s hard
to change.
What is your favourite quote?
I have three quotes I love; “Peace begins with a
smile.”, “If you judge people, you have no time
to love them.” Mother Theresa
“Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a
flower and draws all good things towards you.”
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
What is your message for the
New Year?
