Mimi Donaldson is a fireball with a stage presence that will not be forgotten. Her years of working with celebrities, politicians, founders, and professional speakers and authors is amazing. She trains TEDx speakers, as well. In this special episode, she shares with a panel of business and professional women who all speak often exactly what the breakdown of a talk should be. Starting with the way you make an audience feel comfortable right down to the call to action, there’s a formula, and it’s surprising how many of us get the very first bit backwards. Lots of takeaways in this episode.
Mimi shared at the end of the podcast that she does 30 minute complimentary consultations for speakers and you can sign up for the sessions on her website.

Sarah Perreard is a founder (Plasteax) and a leader in the environmental services consultancy, Earth Action. She understands the value of research and data to motivate real progress for climate action through correcting pathways to a greater circular economy. Her concerns over plastic pollution launched her on a corporate-to-consultancy journey in 2019 that has found roots in a space where few find them. Her work in consultancy helps corporate clients, governments, and NGOs understand how to utilize data to make changes and create policy...even lifting the lid on funding buckets. Her ability to take thought-leadership and research to action through an event like Plastic Overshoot Day shows us all that whatever information does to point us in the right direction, nothing will happen until we make it happen.
In this episode: Sarah shares a bit about her journey and what she and her team are doing to create greater awareness and activity around circular economy. She tells us what partners she needs to advance research and what new area of focus they'll be working on in November of 2024.

His Excellency Nawab Syed Algazi of Hyderabad, India, is a successful entrepreneur, accomplished in many industries, settling in design and construction as a focus under the company name of NF Constructions. A masterful athlete, His Excellency enjoys the good-hearted competition of cricket and relishes his days in military school where his adaptation to discipline and love of service has remained a part of his life to this day. In merely speaking of the military, you will quickly discover that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone so dedicated to supporting the widows of war heroes. The passion program is called Braveheart Martyrs Foundation.
In 2023, His Excellency was appointed to serve as the Honorary Consul General of Liberland to India. His diplomatic service is but a punctuation celebrating his own lineage of grand royal personalities whose contributions were many to the country.

Ashish Shrestha is the Executive Director of the Sambhavya Foundation located in Nepal. His mission is to get mental health programming set up in the schools throughout Nepal, and he's making quite an impact already. His children's programs and train-the-trainer courses are operating in 27 schools around Kathmandu utilizing volunteers along with ensuring that there are spaces appropriate for counseling. The long-taboo subject of mental health is becoming uncloacked and the stigma removed to create a wellness focus. The difference it is making with the school children is being realized through data and personal commentary. It should be understood that there really wasn't anything developed in the country focusing on mental health prior to this program, and now that there is, the societal and generational shift in attitude around mental health seems to be where the real impact lies. Ashish shares his mission and where he's headed with the work he envisions with Frontrunners Innovate host, Mary Kurek. https://www.sambhavya.org.np/ Frontrunners Development is a business development agency focused on creating business connections that matter.
