Coachathon is an event organised by the Microloan Foundation to raise funds for women living in extreme poverty in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The Coachathon allows coaches to offer their services at a reduced rate, providing an opportunity for people to access coaching at a fraction of the normal cost. The funds raised through the Coachathon support the Microloan Foundation's efforts to provide small loans and training to women to start and grow their businesses.

In this episode, I discuss the four pillars of thought leadership: unique contribution, prolific creativity, courageous visibility, and recognised authority. I emphasise that thought leadership is not reserved for a select few and encourages listeners to claim their space as thought leaders.

I provide practical tips for each pillar, such as reflecting on one's unique strengths and perspectives, consistently creating content aligned with one's unique contribution, and actively seeking speaking and publishing opportunities. I also highlight the importance of building a strong personal brand and engaging with one's community.

1. Courageous visibility

2. Prolific creativity

3. Unique contribution

Meet Alicia Rodriguez, my client, collaborator and friend. Alicia is one of those women who, if you're lucky enough, you'll have in your inner circle. She's wise, intuitive, kind, funny and utterly inspirational - and now I get to share her story with you.

Her memoire, The Shaman's Wife is available to pre-order now, and will be widely published in September.

In this exclusive interview series for Heads Together, Alicia shares some background that led to the writing of this incredible book, and also offers even more insight into the lessons we can take for ourselves from her experiences.

As Alicia said to me: "I know so many women who have given away their power, often not realizing that they were surrendering their agency to someone else in the name of love. These women are successful and confident, yet something happens, and suddenly, a piece of their life is missing, and they don't know how to recover it. There's fear, shame, and embarrassment at being discovered."

Alicia's been there. And she reclaimed her life using the wisdom she gained from shamanism, the very tradition that sought to capture her.

This is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation that can be applied to your life. It's a story of forgiveness and the power of Universal Love.

It's a story she had to share.

"This is the story of the road I had to travel to discover who I really was. If it saves one person or impacts someone who needs to reclaim their life, then all the hard work and sacrifice will be worth it. Writing this book has changed my life. Perhaps reading it will change yours."
