How many times have you felt like your circumstances have ground you to a halt? Like life dealt you a full stop. In just six minutes, Nikki Bush, Business Speaker and author's life shattered when her husband was murdered and her son was held at gunpoint.

This was the theme of my discussion with this powerful author and speaker. So often, leaders and authors on my book programmes say, “You don’t understand my situation.” And it’s true. Every story is different. But when change comes and it does for all of us, we have to ask, “Will it define me or refine me?”

In this interview, Nikki shares how she responded when everything changed. Yes, the fear was real; her emotions ran high and adrenaline surged through her veins.

She speaks about future-proofing your life, recalibrating after trauma, and understanding that tragedy can be a comma, not a full stop.

As authors, leaders, and parents, we cannot always control what happens to us. But we can choose how we rise.

If you are navigating massive change, loss, or uncertainty, this conversation is for you.

Join us this Thursday, 05 March, and watch the full video premiere. It may help you take back your personal power.

One of the biggest shocks for me? You could spend thousands of hours building a brand, pouring your heart, your creativity, and your money into it, and without the right protections in place, someone else could swoop in and claim it.

Claire shared practical tips for securing copyright assignments, navigating trademark classes, and protecting your intellectual property before it’s too late. This isn’t just about books. If you create, innovate, or sell anything, knowing these protections can save you from heartbreak and real financial loss.

Your ideas are precious. Protect them. Value them. Don’t let someone else cash in on what’s rightfully yours.

What every author should know about copyright law. What happens when someone steals your intellectual property as an author?...

🖋️ Six writers. One bold decision.

From Thursday, 06 November to Sunday, 09 November, six brave writers are stepping out of their comfort zones and diving headfirst into a new book journey. This isn’t just a weekend away. It’s a declaration that their stories matter.

Yes, the world is full of trade wars, deadlines, and demanding jobs. But legacy is not built in comfort. Legacy is forged in chaos, in the moments when creators decide that their words, their ideas, and their truth deserve to be heard.

This is an exclusive event, limited to a small group of writers who are ready to commit to their craft. It is already sold out, proving that courage and creativity are still alive and well in 2025.

Guiding them through this transformative experience is Kim Vermaak, a published author with more than 10 titles to her name. She is currently working on her 14th book and will be the writers’ guide through this emotional rollercoaster that sometimes leaves authors gasping for breath, but always leads to growth and impact.

By Sunday, these six writers won’t just have words on a page. They’ll have a new sense of direction, purpose, and a clearer vision of the legacy they’re building, one paragraph at a time.

📚 Watch this space for behind-the-scenes moments, creative breakthroughs, and stories of transformation from the .
