Inside The Realm of Thought

Elaine’s mission was to capture the unique essence of not one, but two women who are not standard models, in a single shot! Camera lens, lights, make-up artists and holding hands included- the perfect picture was shot that day to capture their dual beauty and charismatic energy.

What a staggering image!

Credit must go to Elaine’s photographic talent. Behind Elaine’s camera lens is a creative genius which opens a certain kind of door that you never have entered before, a door to your own heart. You can read her column ‘Through The Camera Lens’ each month and in this edition she brings you “Her Voice” ( page 106).

So, I want to take an unapologetic bow for June’s cover to Elaine Pringle and Darie Nani, our Artistic Director – who’s combined effort captured the essence of Women Rock Switzerland.

So who are the women who rock Switzerland?

Denise is a Fulbright Scholar, author, and vocational psychologist and she has been gracing world class stages, speaking in over 30 countries. Being a certified teacher, she’s developed real expertise in human development, lifelong learning, and maximizing human potential. She uses emotional mastery to unlock the power of human hearts!

Michelle (who’s dad passed away suddenly just over a year ago) is building on a legacy that her father created while leading a communications company in the USA for almost four decades. A national-level college athlete, she began her working life as a sports coach at an Ivy League university in the USA. As fêted as she was, Michelle worked harder than she needed it to, and she is been ranked in the top 1% of Executive Search professionals in North America. Give her five minutes of your time and she you will give you the world!

When Elaine introduced Michelle and Denise, they loved the idea of sharing the opportunity with their members and decided to select 1% of their group to contribute to this edition. They selected 40 rare female mavericks who are self-leading and deliver their unique solution to health, wealth, wellbeing, art, tech, travel, communication and beauty, all the while enjoying motherhood.

I am excited to see how they will each adapt to a new, magnificent version of themselves, as compassionate mothers and exceptional women, opening up the home of their big dreams to a wider diversity of professional women. To be featured in Sovereign is to commit to building a world that is inclusive for both men and women of different philosophies , ages, countries and cultures, for the betterment of all.

This is how I imagined Sovereign to be: a limitless vault for future memories from millions of people who are closing the achievement gap together. When you are a Purposeful Leader, it is not about standing up for yourself anymore but is about an unwavering belief in those you lead, building them up into confident creatives who can deliver their unique solution.

If you are waiting to board your flight and reading June Sovereign in either British, Swiss or German Airports lounges, be ready to face the first wave of 40 Women Who Rock Switzerland. They’ve arrived! As you discover them one by one, you will enjoy their resolute confidence, graceful laser determination to be seen and have their voice heard. Please take advantage of the rich media features and connect with them while still reading their story.

What better way to inspire a younger generation of women, our daughters and granddaughters, who, yes, are born to lead, to build their personal and professional success?! Can we, at least, agree that if we really want to inspire them to be more, we must publish their mothers’ and grandmothers’ story first, showing the world what they are made of?

Exceeding the word count again, but I have to say this before I dive into July’s edition: Social edification helps you make a significant difference in your professional game, and it is not the news feed algorithm that matters but the realm of thought shared with millions of people we can inspire together, people who might take a leap of faith and become the Sovereigns of their own life. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Women Who Rock Switzerland!
