Some of the greatest lessons we have learned often transfer to the inspiration that generates our WHY for starting a business. Bronte's life experience opened the door to a world of dietetics. However, when the door was opened the view Bronte discovered was so much greater than a single disciple of allied health. The world of integrated allied health and the importance of a holistic approach birthed with a passion to help the whole person on every level discover optimal help. When you hear Bronte's story, I hope you hear her heart for people and her courage to make a living and a difference.

As a Business Coach and a business veteran, I am very inspired when I have the opportunity to work with people like Bronte, who are our next generation of emerging business leaders. I am confident we are handing the batten on to people who will take their businesses to levels we could only imagine. Grab a Cuppa, find your favourite chair or strap on your walking shoes, and let us go for a wander with Bronte Williamson from Nourished not Deprived. As she unpacks her, "I decided" story.

After a long journey in the education system, Janine started her company, Coaching Focus. Promotion due to seniority and skills does not always equip someone with the ability to lead people. Taking the role of a principal is, in many ways, like being the manager of an organisation, not just the senior educator.

Janine felt that promotion was common, but personal and professional development in leadership skills was not. Hence, Coaching Focus was created for Senior Educators to be equipped with the skills that matched their responsibilities.

Now, after many years of working with lead teachers and Deputy Principals, Janine has turned the industry around and equipped senior leaders in private schools to be prepared for their promotion and equipped for success.

Janine was a client of mine for 2 1/2 years just prior to and during the COVID Pandemic. Her tenacious passion for her clients and her industry kept her relevant and passionate during the COVID-19 Pandemic. When many others in her industry folded, Janine pivoted and kept supporting her clientele through an extremely difficult season in education, thrusting her even further forward as a respected pioneer in leadership development in education.

David Christie is the owner of the SA Toy Museum in Wilmington South Australia. David owns the largest Private Toy museum in Australia. His collection is both diverse and extensive. His collections include all types of toys extending to 130 years of toy manufacturing. I have never seen anything that could match this amazing collection.

Starting as a hobby he now has attracted international recognition for his range of toys from Dinky, Matchbox, Hornby, and hundreds of other manufacturers. David has bought joy, tears, laughter and quiet reflection moments to people as they browse through lanes of memories and moments.

I hope you enjoy our conversation which is a mix of advice on how to build a business from a passion and how to keep on keeping on through all the trials and tribulations of economies that often don't favour tourism.

David has a soft heart and a firm resolve, which is typical of many people who follow the passion for business to bring delight and joy to others.
