t never fails to amaze me how many outstanding business women we have here on the Sunshine Coast. There must be something in the water to produce such a collective of entrepreneurs! Even more impressive is the fact that many of these clever women are so young and our gorgeous cover girl Kristie Kahler is a shining example of this! Blessed with brains and beauty, this Sunshine Coast girl is the designer and founder of cutting edge label Winston Wolfe, already an international sensation with an incredible 14,000 loyal followers on instagram and growing. Her last three collections sold out before the pieces were physically available and her designs have already found their way into the wardrobes of high-end celebrities, gracing the pages of the national fashion magazines in the process. Kristie is certainly one to watch and we are lucky enough to get to know her and learn more about her remarkable journey in this issue. Also in this edition we meet award winning business woman, Jan Becker CEO of Becker Helicopters. From humble beginnings operating in a run down tin shed using an old grass airport at Noosa, the business is now an internationally recognised training facility, employing 70 people. Digital guru, Lisa Harrison, shares the power of social media with us and reveals how she helps businesses unlock the secrets of online marketing, while Danielle Gjestland, former young restaurateur of the year and owner of revered Noosa restaurant Wasabi, shares her culinary journey with us. I also caught up with a gorgeous bunch of ladies to chat about the challenging work/life balance this month, and as always we bring you all the latest in fashion, beauty and homewares. Don’t forget to check out our social pages and what has been happening on the Sunshine Coast’s calendar, as well as what’s coming up. So here’s a big cheers to the wonderful business women who call the Sunshine Coast home. What an incredible example you set to all our young girls (my own daughters Chloe and Paris-Rose included).
