Her one passion...
My true passion is to empower and challenge women all over the world to live on their own terms.
Her pet peeve...
I hate it when I see a conference that has only male speakers.
Her biggest challenge...
Growing from and dealing with my feelings of powerlessness.
One thing she’s proud of...
That I’ve built a business with a purpose that resonates with people.
One word to describe her...
I would say “visionary”. Everything I do is about building a better future.
SIMONE HENG
Professional speaker and founder of CourageousSpeaking.com, an online subscription portal that provides personalised coaching on public speaking

Her one passion...
I’m on a mission to encourage people to find their authentic voice and to speak that voice in the world.
Her one belief...
We’re placed on this planet to connect with other people, and that human connection is what makes us happy and healthy; it’s why we’re here.
The best advice she has received...
That what other people think of you is none of your business. Once I realised that some people are just not going to like you and what you have to say, and I learnt to just speak to those who are supporters, my entire life changed.
On her success...
I’ve always had this intuitive voice that has pushed me to challenge myself and to get myself out of situations that didn’t serve me. Leaving my job to set up my own business was one of the best things I ever did and it was all because of that connection with my internal voice.
All jewellery worn throughout the shoot are from the Tiffany & Co. T1 collection.
