Integrating techniques for precision agriculture, technology (real-time machine learning, drones, microchips, etc.) and understanding how the way we farm can positively or negatively impact the environment are critical elements to a strong and robust agricultural future capable of feeding our burgeoning global population.

essential logistical providers, and our growing dependence on major multinational processors and cooperatives, challenges precipitated by the COVID pandemic meant that, in many times and geographical locales, we no longer had the surety of supply.

To mitigate the risk associated with both the apparent and unexpected societal and environmental stressors on our agricultural industry, we must reimagine our legacy business models for production, creating models that give us greater control over the industry from farm to fork – conception to consumption, while refining our production methods to allowing us to produce more with less while minimizing – and in many cases, positively impacting our environmental footprint. Envisioning and introducing these new models for agricultural production is a personal priority of mine, and I am committed to doing this here in the United States and in the regions of the world which will serve as the bread baskets of the future, such as Africa.

Women are more concentrated on quality relationships than on competence and goals. When women get stressed, they share their problems with their girlfriends and keep talking about it to find solutions. A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

generally deal with problems instantly and head-on. This can be illustrated by the different outlook that men and women typically have towards shopping. Although these are generalizations and not an absolute rule, women consider shopping in its social aspect to be savored and enjoyed. For men, shopping is more like an ordeal, and the sooner it’s over, the better.

Take a look at clothing, for example. For many women, clothing can become a major focal point in their daily life.

Not only does their clothing have to fit within a certain style, many women are concerned with how their clothing accentuates or hides certain features. Women don’t only pay this attention to their clothes; they are also concerned with other women’s clothing, and how they look in relation to them. This is a world that most men are barely aware

This is why my business partner, Dr Danyal Akarca and I set up Psynergy Mental Health.

INTERVIEW WITH:

JUDY BULLIMORE (JM)

PGMAG: Judy, so good to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

PGMAG: As a leader, what are some of the challenges you face in delivering your services?

JM: I work with a lot of career seekers who are applying for their next level positions, and who PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our feel ready to take on more responsibility. This is usually due to a desire to create more impact readers. in their chosen career, who want to feel free to lead authentically, without being micromanaged.

JM: I work with amazingly talented career They want to feel appreciated and trusted to do seekers who want to apply and interview more what they do best. As a result, the leaders that powerfully, proudly and impressively. This is my I work with often have experienced working in super power and passion. My clients call me a toxic environments, or have sadly experienced Dream Job Mentor. I’m also a single mother to discrimination or harassment. Often a challenge two feisty and wonderful young girls.

JM: My pleasure!

www.powerhouseglobalmag.com

that I help to tackle is for my clients to have the confidence and the resilience to trust in their unique perspectives, to trust in their abilities, and to be fearless in setting the bar for what exceptional leadership looks like now and for the future.

PGMAG: What are some of the strategies required to ensure that people feel safe in the workplace?

JM: Workplaces differ in terms of how well they ensure that their staff feels supported.

Having safe and robust policies and procedures that are followed, backed up and supported are paramount in creating a safe organisational culture. Having knowledge, or a game plan of what to do if policies fail, often lies with the individual staff member, therefore there is a level of responsibility to personally know what to do when faced with challenges. I’m a big advocate for self-care, for consistently working on inner confidence and self worth, and increasing opportunities if the need to get out presents itself.

It’s for this reason why I focus so heavily on sharing the tools, techniques and strategies to be able to apply and interview successfully, so that there are

26 NOVEMBER 2021

always options. If one were to feel ready to start afresh, in a culture and environment that aligns to their values, they would know how to do it as smoothly as possible.

PGMAG: What would you say to someone who is struggling with low self-esteem?

JM: I advise to carry out and anchoring exercise. This is one of the first things that I do with the client that I mentor, because when self esteem and confidence is low, there needs to be a way of reminding oneself of why they are special, unique and a wonderful individual. Another way of describing this, is to enter what I call a ‘Peacock Mode’ This is where one is able to tap into their values, achievements, the praise they have received, their ambitions and successes through mindfulness, meditation, visualisations and self connection.

PGMAG: What is your message for world leaders?

JM: Commit to your perspective, because this perspective of the impact that you can make is due to your unique experiences, vision and attributes. This relates to giving yourself permission to

lead authentically, to trust that you’re in a leadership position for a divine reason, and that is to inspire nurture and create positive impact. To ensure that you lead with connection to yourself and your higher purpose, I would always advise to have a personal coach/ mentor to keep your leadership approaches aligned to your true authentic self.

PGMAG: Please tell us more about your business.

JM: I’m on a mission to empower professional career-seekers with the tools and techniques to showcase themselves with confidence, authenticity and impressiveness!

Nothing lights me up more than helping professionals understand how employers make their decisions, what strategies catch their attention, and how to prove that they are the best candidates for the roles that they want.

Largely mentoring and advising highly talented individuals into senior leadership roles in a range of sectors including; Procurement, Marketing, Tech, Further Education, Health (to name a few), my knowledge of the employment sector ensures

Branding so that my clients understand their competitive edge and overall core offer.

• Sharing Career Search Strategies that cut through the competition and fast track the process to an ideal position.

I developed my own interview technique, The Interview Story Impression Technique because I feel strongly that the current interview techniques such as the STAR technique are not fit for purpose in today’s highly competitive employment sector, and I really believe that interviewing can be empowering (when you know how). I also recently created The Peacock Effect three step system that explains how to proudly and powerfully apply and interview through: 1 – Getting into Peacock Mode 2 – Using Peacock Words 3 – Fanning Your Feathers

JM: Paul McKenna - I can make you rich, The Secret, and Charles Dickins (the books that my Grandad had me read at a really young age).

INTERVIEW WITH:

DR. JACQUELINE KING (DJK) PGMAG: Dr. Jacqueline, so good to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

DJK: It is my pleasure!

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

DJK: I am Dr. Jacqueline King, the CEO and Founder of Black Women Empowered, a global Ministry/Network that empowers mostly women from all over the world for the last ten years. It is my passion and purpose to encourage people.

PGMAG: As a leader, what are some of the keys to leading a successful team?

DJK: The key to leading a successful team is listening and teaching. Leading by example is very crucial. Not just giving orders but helping people grow into their purpose is the sign of a great leader, in my opinion.

PGMAG: It’s ‘black history’ month here in the UK. As a strong advocate for the black community in the USA and around the world, what needs to be done in order to create a harmonious environment for all – especially for the ethnic minorities?

DJK: The most important thing that we can do is work together. So many people want to work alone, that has prov en not to be an effective way to get things done and we really need each other to be successful.

28 NOVEMBER 2021

PGMAG: What is your message for world leaders?

DJK: My message is to write the vision, make it plain and stay committed to the vision.

The reason most leaders fail, or I call them visionaries, is because they give up when they don’t see instant results. One of the reasons that BWE has been successful is because we never quit, people came and people went but we stuck with the vision. Its ok to fine tune or tweak it but don’t abandon it.

DJK: We have several businesses, the main one is the Ministry on Social Media with over four million followers (Black Women Empowered Incorporated) on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter and TikTok. we also have a Media Production company, I am in Partnership with Annette Groves and we have produced several documentaries and many encouraging contributors and interviews.

Our newest business is our Sisterhood Membership blackwomenempowered. net where women can join and share their businesses, ministries, social media and just connect with other Queens from all over the world.

PGMAG: In the wake of covid-19, the world was turned upside down within a few months before our eyes. As a global voice, what can be done to mitigate the damages caused by the pandemic?

DJK: All we can do at this point in my opinion is get the vaccination and be a voice to those who have not gotten it yet. We have lost so many people because of fear of the

of authority, how can more women be supported to take on leadership roles?

One of the reasons that BWE has been successful is because we never quit, people came and people went but we stuck with the vision. Its ok to fine tune or tweak it but don’t abandon it. vaccination and misinformation.

Now that we are getting to somewhat of a normal life, we must pick up the pieces and start over, if necessary, if not we must rebuild. This means thinking outside of the box, using our creative minds to come up with new and innovative ways of doing things.

PGMAG: What are the top three books that changed your life?

DJK: Of course, the Bible is number one. I loved Michelle Obamas book “Becoming” and the last one is Vindication of Broken Women who Possess Deep Wells by Dr. Oscar Underwood.

PGMAG: Women are powerful forces and the world need more women to lead. As a woman who is in a position

DJK: Women should be looking and learning from those women who are already leading. This are the role models. If you can find a woman who is willing to mentor, that’s even better. I have always studied those who are successful in every position I have held.

PGMAG: Finally, what would you say to your younger self?

DJK: I would say that you should have listened to the wise counsel of my Mother, it would have limited many mistakes that I made in life.

However, I did learn from many of them regardless.

PGMAG: Thank you so very much for your time.

DJK: I’m so pleased to share my experience. Thank you too.

GEOFFREY RIDDLE (GR) PGMAG: Geoffrey, so good to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

GR: Your invitation was a pleasant surprise. I’m honored, thank you!

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

GR: I am a professional speaker, strategist and sales trainer for the luxury market. Currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Avid golfer, voracious reader, writer & podcaster. My passion is the dramatic impact that can be made by the power of the spoken and written word, hopefully exemplified in my book, “The Art & Science of Luxury Selling,“ available in 2022.

PGMAG: As a strategist, what are some of the keys to winning in life?

GR: First, accumulate knowledge. The internet has eradicated the excuse, “I don’t know.” Our phones have all the world’s information at our fingertips. Second, focus.

There is power in doing one thing at a time until finished. Multi-tasking is a myth. Third, be prepared! When I speak, I have twenty times the information I may need on hand. Fourth, know, understand and welcome roadblocks and objections as positive life turning experiences.

Fifth,TAKE ACTION! Action conquers fear. I am a ready, fire, aim person.

It takes money, time and persistence to build a brand. Your key people need to be as passionate about the brand as you are, not just working for a paycheck.

PGMAG: The shift the world experienced in recent time due to covid-19 changed the way people live and do business. As a leader, what would you suggest to those who oversee global affairs, to start considering in order to prevent such catastrophe from happening again?

GR: Always keep in mind the best interests of the people and the country you serve, without regard to your own career. Learn from the mistakes of other countries. Never stop asking, “what if?” Know who the bad guys are and keep an eye on them. Ignore the media, do your own homework. Do not make decisions that overtax your country’s resources.

to build their brand?

GR: It takes money, time and persistence to build a brand.

Your key people need to be as passionate about the brand as you are, not just working for a pay-check. Social media is not a panacea, but only one part of a bigger plan. Learn how to sell. Nothing happens unless somebody sells something.

Know how accounting works and be vigilant with financing.

Above all, make sure you have a compelling story and never, ever, ever give up.

GR: The speaking part of my business is a prospecting tool.

My audiences discover most of what they need to know about me, my style and how I can help them in about 30 minutes.

It results in them calling me instead of me calling them.

Strategy sessions with company leaders are about asking tough, provocative questions, challenging the way they think and coaching them through a process to achieve their goals.

the most challenging and time consuming. So I break it into two parts. Briefly, I gather information, interview staff and sit in on presentations.

I present my findings and recommendations for which I charge a fee. If they decide to use me to develop their sales process and coach their team, the discovery fee is waived and we agree on a training price.

Simple and straight forward makes it easy for them to decide.

PGMAG: As a renowned speaker, what are some of the keys to delivering an impactful presentation?

GR: I like to open with a story. Since the dawn of time, humans have been hard wired to pay attention and learn the moment a story begins. The story should make only one point. Want to make another point, tell another story. Use stunning visuals but reduce words on the visuals to the bare minimum. You want the audience listening, not reading.

Regardless of your subject knowledge, the audience will have trouble remembering any more then, three key points.

Powerful Global Women Foundation (Powerhouse Charity) was founded in 20l6 in Nigeria, West Africa,

by Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw. The core objective of this organization is to transform the lives of women and children, through various projects centred around the need of the service group.

In 20l6 Lady Anita single handedly fed over 400 children as part of “project feed l000 children globally”, and held an empowerment conference for the women. Through this project, so many women have gone to do great things with the knowledge they gained from the event.

She recently held a life transforming event for women in Lagos, Nigeria as part of International women’s month celebration 20l8. The turnout was very encouraging. She is working towards supporting more families to keep their children and wards in school through” project back-to-school” starting in September 20l8.

We are seeking for global support from individuals and organisations who would love to be a part of this service to humanity.
