PUBLISHER'S NOTE

Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw

Welcome to the January 2026 edition of Powerhouse Global Magazine, where we proudly celebrate vision, courage and impact.

This special Top 50 Female Leaders to Watch in 2026 edition is more than a list — it is a declaration.

A declaration that women across the globe are not waiting for permission to lead; they are building legacies, reshaping industries and influencing change with purpose and authenticity.

The women featured in this edition represent diverse sectors, cultures and leadership styles, yet they are united by one powerful thread: impact.

These are leaders who lead from within, innovate with integrity and use their voices to uplift others. They are change-makers, trailblazers and legacy builders whose work will shape conversations, communities and economies in 2026 and beyond.

At Powerhouse Global Magazine, our mission has always been clear — to amplify voices that matter, spotlight leadership that transforms, and inspire the next generation of global leaders. This edition

reflects that mission beautifully.

Each story shared here is a reminder that leadership is not defined by titles alone, but by influence, service and the courage to stand in one’s truth.

As you turn these pages, may you be inspired to rise boldly, lead unapologetically and embrace your own power.

The future of leadership is inclusive, purposedriven and undeniably female.

Welcome to 2026.

Welcome to the Powerhouse era.

With love and friendship,

GLOBAL COLLABORATION

LADY ANITA DUCKWORTH-BRADSHAW

Building Bridges for a Connected World

In an increasingly interconnected world, global collaboration is no longer a choice—it is a necessity.

From business and education to leadership, innovation and social impact, the ability to work across borders, cultures and perspectives determines how effectively we solve complex challenges and create sustainable progress.

Global collaboration is the intentional act of partnering beyond geographical boundaries to share knowledge, resources, skills and influence for a common purpose. It requires more than technology; it demands trust, cultural intelligence, shared values and a commitment to collective growth.

WHY GLOBAL COLLABORATION MATTERS

The challenges facing the world today— economic uncertainty, climate change, inequality, leadership gaps and digital transformation—are global in nature. No single country, organisation or individual holds all the answers.

Collaboration enables diverse voices to contribute solutions that are more innovative, inclusive and resilient.

When people from different regions collaborate, they bring unique perspectives shaped by culture, experience and context. This diversity

fuels creativity and drives better decisionmaking. It also fosters mutual respect and understanding, breaking down stereotypes and strengthening global relationships.

In business, global collaboration opens access to new markets, talent and ideas. In leadership, it cultivates empathy and adaptability. In social impact work, it amplifies reach and accelerates change.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN COLLABORATION

Technology has transformed the way we collaborate globally. Virtual platforms, digital workspaces and real-time communication tools have removed many physical barriers. Today, teams can meet, plan and execute projects from different continents with ease.

However, effective collaboration is not guaranteed by technology alone. Without clear communication, shared expectations and strong leadership, digital tools can become sources of confusion rather than connection.

Successful global collaboration requires intentional structure, clarity of purpose and humancentred leadership.

CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMOTIONAL AWARENESS

One of the most critical elements of global collaboration is cultural intelligence. Understanding different communication styles, values, time orientations and decisionmaking approaches is essential for harmony and productivity. Leaders and collaborators must practise active listening, patience and openness. Respecting cultural differences does not mean avoiding difficult conversations; it means engaging with sensitivity and curiosity.

Emotional intelligence plays a vital role in navigating misunderstandings, managing conflict and building trust across borders.

COLLABORATION AS A LEADERSHIP IMPERATIVE

True global leaders do not seek control; they seek connection. They understand that influence grows when power is shared and voices are valued. Collaborative leadership is rooted in humility, vision and service.

Leaders who champion collaboration empower others, encourage cross-border partnerships and create safe spaces for dialogue and innovation. They focus on impact over ego and long-term legacy over short-term gain.

Moving Forward Together

Global collaboration is about unity without uniformity. It allows us to honour our differences while working towards shared goals.

As the world becomes more complex, our ability to collaborate globally will define our capacity to lead, innovate and thrive.

Now is the time to build bridges, not walls. To listen more, learn continuously and lead with purpose. When we collaborate globally, we do

more than exchange ideas— we create a future shaped by collective wisdom, shared responsibility and meaningful impact.

Global collaboration is not just about working together; it is about growing together.

Join us for the Powerhouse Global Women VIP Retreat scheduled for 16th January 2026—an exclusive, transformational experience designed to empower, elevate and reposition women for greater impact and leadership.

In addition, we invite you to sign up for the Powerhouse Global Speakers Virtual Summit, slated for 24th January 2026. This dynamic global gathering will bring together leaders, speakers and changemakers from around the world to share insight, strategy and inspiration.

Step into a powerful new season of growth, collaboration and global influence.

DIALOGUE. FAITH. HUMANITY.

PROF. OLGA MROZ

“A woman’s true power unfolds when she rises — and lifts others with her.”

I am deeply grateful to POWERHOUSE GLOBAL Magazine for the opportunity to stand on this stage and share my thoughts and ideas. I am proud to be part of Powerhouse Global Woman. This is not just a community — it is a space where women grow, inspire, and bring more light into the world. It is a powerful reminder that we are capable of far more than we imagine. It is a call to action, an invitation to be the person who creates change. And each of us is part of this force.

But to awaken this power, we must remember three simple yet profound words: Dialogue. Faith. Humanity.

Dialogue — because every transformation begins with a conversation. A conversation with ourselves when we ask honestly: “What do I want? Who must I become?” And a conversation with others when we build bridges instead of walls. Our ability to listen and truly hear helps us create communities where women lift women.

Faith — because without faith, it is impossible to move forward. Faith in our own strength. Faith in our purpose. Faith that every step, even the smallest one, matters. And when there are people beside us who believe in us, we begin to

believe in ourselves even more. Humanity — because at the end of the journey, it is not the volume of our achievements that matters, but the number of hearts we have touched. Helping others is not an obligation — it is an honor. It is what makes our legacy real and alive. If we want to change the world, we must begin with kindness, empathy, and the willingness to reach out a hand.

These three words — Dialogue, Faith, Humanity — lead us to a new form of leadership.

Leadership not about power over others, but about inner strength. Leadership that means not only moving forward but guiding others with us.

Today, I want to say to every woman:

You can become a Woman of Power. A Woman of Purpose. Not perfect, but authentic. Not flawless, but committed.

A woman who knows why she is here and whom she can inspire through her example.

A woman who leaves light behind her.

SUE RITCHIE

HOLISTIC HEALTH AND FERTILITY SPECIALIST

For many couples, the journey to parenthood does not unfold as easily as expected. What begins with hope and excitement can gradually turn into frustration, self-doubt, grief, and exhaustion. As a Holistic Health and Fertility Specialist, my work is dedicated to supporting couples who are struggling to conceive by helping them clear the often-overlooked blocks to fertility and create the optimum environment for new life to begin.

Fertility is rarely just a physical issue. While medical tests and interventions play an important role, they often focus on isolated symptoms rather than the whole person. Our reproductive health is deeply influenced by nutrition, gut health, hormone balance, stress levels, emotional wellbeing, mindset, lifestyle choices, environmental toxins, and the quality of our relationships — including the relationship we have with ourselves and with our own bodies. I work primarily with professional women and their partners who are navigating busy

lives while carrying the emotional weight of trying to conceive. Many come to me feeling disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, and quietly blaming themselves. My role is to bring them back into alignment physically, emotionally, energetically, and particularly for women to create an environment where their body feels safe, supported, and ready for conception.

One couple I worked with had been trying to conceive for seven years. They had been turned down for IVF due to weight-related concerns, and the woman had been diagnosed with PCOS. By the time they reached out, they felt defeated and were not sure how they might realise their dream of having a baby. Through a personalised 60-day programme, we focused on gut health, nutrition, reducing inflammation, emotional support, and rebuilding self-belief. Two months after completing the programme, they conceived naturally and today they are parents to a healthy baby.

The impact of the work I do goes far beyond conception alone. Couples often tell me they feel calmer, more confident and more empowered, When we nurture the whole person mind, body, and spirit we don’t just support fertility. We lay the foundations for healthier parents, healthier pregnancies, and healthier babies. To me that is the best gift we can give to a future child.

Member of The Association of Transformational Leaders for Europe, Ambassador for Women of Contribution, Nutrition Sponsor of the world record expedition. Last year she received the 1 Million LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD in recognition for the amount of people that have been positively impacted by her wellness services. Izabella’s journey in the wellness and personal development industry started after her own near-death health experience. It set her on a quest to discover what impacts health and to find the optimum strategies to deal with the physical, mental and emotional health challenges in an ever demanding world. In the development of her programmes and philosophies, Izabella has trained with world renowned scientists, including Dr Louis Ignarro, a Nobel Prize Winner in medicine, Dr David Heber, the Founder and Director of the Centre of Human Nutrition at UCLA and her personal mentor, Jim Rohn. Over the last 30 years, Izabella has worked with thousands of people, in the UK and across Europe, speaking, training and coaching dynamic individuals and organisations to raise awareness

about how what we think, what we eat and what we do habitually, impacts our energy, performance, our physical and mental health and in fact the quality of our entire everyday life. Izabella has become a passionate advocate of the need for a holistic approach to achieving more powerful, successful and fulfilled life, equipped with the 'nutritional' tools that feed not just our bodies, but our minds and our spirit. She understands that an extraordinary life demands optimum health, vitality and emotional stamina, but most of all, harmony. It is especially important for busy leaders and entrepreneurs, particularly where family responsibilities add to professional ones.

"It's a privilege to share the learning of the last thirty years and see how clients transform their lives by releasing the power they have within to make the changes needed. I bring the tools and the knowledge, they find the strength and the courage to change. It really is a delicious, inspirational process.”

Izabella lives her own philosophy and sees every day as an opportunity to feel good, grow and contribute more. “When I look back at 23 year old me, experiencing paralysis, panic attacks and fear, I feel grateful for this blessing in disguise because I now live such an energetically fulfilling life, completing ultra-marathons and arduous challenges - but the best of it is helping others and contributing to their lives. Health really is your ultimate wealth and so my mission is to make your life richer; healthier, happier, more delicious."

JUSTINE SCOTT-GRAY

My story begins with dyslexia, a silent barrier that left me feeling unable to express my emotions or experiences in writing. Much later I would discover that poetry would become the tool that helped me find my voice, and ultimately, save my life.

Eventually, I hit rock bottom. I had spent years putting my husband and children before myself, slowly disappearing under the weight of responsibility. As the saying goes, the treasure I sought was in the cave I feared to enter, I had to face that truth.

My turning point arrived quietly. One morning, I simply put on my boots and took my dogs for a walk. I did it again the next day. And the next. Those early walks became a ritual of rebuilding. I grew stronger, fitter, and more connected to myself. Eventually, I left behind the walking stick I needed after two knee operations and found myself climbing the hills of Scotland, rediscovering both my resilience and my poetry.

Poetry helped me process grief, confront my fragility, and embrace healing. It gave me the courage to publish a book, something my younger, dyslexic self could never have imagined. After two years of hill walking, I booked a trip to climb Kilimanjaro. That decision was my declaration to the universe: I was no longer small, afraid, or lost. I was finally, unapologetically, myself.

Today, I bring that transformation into my work as a holistic leadership coach and consultant.

SHERRY ANN DIXON

EMPOWERMENT. LEADERSHIP. UNQUENCHABLE MOTIVATION. HOPE.

These are perhaps some of the best ways to describe the skills and talents which have served to define Sherry Ann Dixon over the years. Such traits have also enabled her to rise through the echelons of professional society in order to arrive at the pinnacle of success. Her accolades are as impressive as her personal sense of duty to the public and therefore, it only stands to reason that a modicum of recognition is in order. Having said this, greatness is not only measured by one's list of prior accomplishments. It is also gauged by the impact that an individual has upon the world. This is when Sherry Ann Dixon truly begins to shine. In many cases, greatness is born at an early age. It is therefore no surprise that Sherry Ann began displaying many of the traits mentioned above at a mere six years old. Whether referring to her adult roles as a magazine editor, a motivational speaker or as the founder of Women on the

Crossroads, there is little doubt that her impact has been felt throughout numerous communities. The fact that she chooses to continue her work into the present day is a further testament to her unwavering commitment to empowerment through both personal and societal change.

An Unparalleled Level of Hands-On Experience

Unlike some other personalities who have been honoured in recent times, Sherry Ann Dixon has based many of her principles upon interactions with some of the most well-known personalities in the world. These include (but are certainly not limited to) Sir Nelson Mandela, Dr. Maya Angelou, Margaret Thatcher, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence. It is often said that we build ourselves by standing upon the shoulders of giants, so it is only logical to observe that her ability to gain inspiration by these true global icons has served to shape her empowerment techniques over the years. A Constant Sense of Personal Evolution - Sherry Ann Dixon has likewise made it a point to constantly evolve in terms of her professional and interpersonal skills. Originally stemming from a background in beauty and public relations, she has since branched out into the worlds of editing, journalism, transformational lecturing, and mentoring. This multi-faceted approach has enabled her to reach out to various segments of society; particularly the BAME community, women and children. Thus, she also serves as a powerful role model who continues to inspire the younger generation. These are perhaps some of the reasons why she was honoured enough to deliver keynote addresses to both the House of Parliament and the House of Lords; two accolades which should never be taken lightly.

BELINDA PARKER-BROWN

Belinda Parker-Brown lives and works in the United States of America (U.S.) as a community mobilizer which is a noun quite different from the verb or action phrase, “community mobilizing”. By the time that activity gets underway as part of Parker-Brown’s good government advocacy, she has looked beyond related incidents and seen the pivotal, underlying malfunctions, dysfunctions, and/or corruption of U.S. government. Her instincts and vast network of personal contacts then serve well in solidarity building for solutions. Parker-Brown is a visionary and accordingly detects, harnesses, and orchestrates synergy among stakeholder group leaders, even when that potential is far from obvious to most onlookers.

Phenomenal orchestrating for justice is second nature for Parker-Brown. However, she is as skilled as a seasoned diplomat. With notable ease and accuracy, Parker-Brown translates

some of the most complex considerations of history, law, and political science into language and concepts that resonate among the masses. Fannie Lou Hamer. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Malcolm X. Professor Angela Y. Davis. Glimmers of all of these remarkable change agents are regularly seen in Belinda Parker-Brown. To know her is to witness how America’s Statue of Liberty would look and seem as a walking, talking human being.

VIRGINIA VALLELY HENSEL

Iam from the Midwest in the United States, brought up by two depression era parents who taught by example, the meaning of service. Thanks to their example, I have been a eucharistic minister, worked in a soup kitchen founded by my mother and served along side my mother on the board of directors for the Center for Street People. Even more than serving my community, I learned to reach out to individuals, the hopeless and helpless, the lost and the lonely, making family out of strangers. There will never come a day when there isn’t room for one more at my table and in my heart. Virginia Vallely Hensel
