I’m going to start with a question, with a proud show of hands who has ever been to the cinema? Great, that’s everyone in the room. I’m a Dutchman and I’m passionate about storytelling and the movies you enjoy are of course all stories. No! I don’t have jokes up my sleeves, tell children’s stories and I’m not even a published author. I don’t even like novels. We produce bespoke and visually impactful cartoons and animation campaigns, engaging audiences and giving them a unique insight into an organisation's story and value proposition. And now Storytelling Workshops too! You are actually already the biggest storyteller in your life, so why not tell your business story in a fun way? I also host my own podcast called ‘Share Your Story’, I’m a volunteer with Crisis UK in Birmingham, the homelessness charity and I’m a student of Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation, Taiko Drumming and Minimalism. Just my way of developing a more meaningful life. https://www.spreaker.com/user/stevemills/episode-108-results-story-t

Hi, my name is Esther. I am originally Dutch, but I live in France for many years! I support women online to feel good and energised. I use Qigong which is Chinese yoga and Reconnective Healing. The Qigong exercises are easy and give you an instant boost of energy. It helps you calm your mind. You can say it is meditation in motion and at the same time you work on relaxing your muscles. Sounds cool doesn’t it! Reconnective Healing is a treat. A treat for yourself. It supports balance on physical, emotional and mental levels. Many imbalances can be resolved in a session so you start to feel good and aligned again. It is like an upgrade of your system. I also treat animals which makes me feel very happy. In my private life I enjoy good food, art, architecture, the ocean, my doggie and all the good life has to offer. Hope to meet you soon! ~ Esther Pesie Here are the links where you can find me: My Facebook business group for heart minded people: https://www.facebook.com/groups/626036001197583/ Facebook: ht

Several of Johnson’s works engage with wider issues of wellbeing: Scintilla explores issues of isolation and mental health, and the series of Triptych pieces for early instruments focuses on female body image after major surgery, inspired by the artwork Triptych – a scarred series by Dora Williams. Johnson has herself recently overcome serious illness leading to isolation. Having now regained her health she is passionate about creating work that allows people to engage with the most difficult issues. Colwall Requiem for Aleppo – a Requiem for Refugees – juxtaposes music for amateur choir and children’s choir with virtuosic meditations and transcriptions of traditional Arabic music for the viola soloist. ‘I can’t remember the last time I actually dripped tears during a concert. And then she brought us back to a place of hope by the end of the piece so we were emotionally safe to head back into the real world.’ (Liz Garnett) http://www.helpingyouharmonise.com/colwallJohnson’s debut double album Intricate Web (2

For me as a guy now in his 50's, I had no idea what Stress was and to be fare thought that it was weak minded people that needed to get a grip. I never believed that I would suffer from it, never mind the fact that I tried to 'check out' and end it all. It was the most terrifying and debilitating illness I have ever suffered from and for many, many months the fight to survive hung in the balance, a balance I had no CONTROL over.I had been brought up to believe men should be big, strong, never need help and not to show emotional weakness and protect. Nothing prepared me for what happened and it was my core programming that was the real issue for my mental health state, or lack of it. The rest you can find out by listening to my interview and visiting my website/FB page, or watch my videos and blogs.

I was most inspired when I founded another organisation a few years ago which aimed to give service men and women the tools they needed to start their own business. And it was when a CEO of another charity came to me, with the help I had given him and his management team suggested that I form another organisation helping other businesses and charities to grow and scale.As a consequence the Business Growth Bureau was formed. As you can imagine this grew rapidly into what you see today and we have helped many organisations to become successful as a consequence.I love to create virtual circles where every party (from customers to prospects, investors, staff, advocates and suppliers) win out of the relationship with the Bureau.Fundamentally we all benefit from the leverage effect that this creates when we can build a strong organisation where we are all here to help each other and achieve strong sustainable growth. I believe that if we can help people and organisations, then we all benefit and what you tend to gi
