Feeling like we’re now fully back to normal with so much excitement about life after the experience we went through during the pandemic. This has revealed that human beings are resilient, have love for life and that we’re greater than the situations that occur in the world. It is with great pleasure that issue 5 comes with those vibes. The vibes that electrify the beauty and impact of stories and knowledge of the powerful women.
These women have revealed that women are indeed a force for good and that knowledge is a key catalyst in transformation. At Stellar Woman magazine, we’re excited to be joining in the celebration of Her Majesty the Queen of England’s Platinum Jubilee. The Queen is so STELLAR!! I have always loved and admired Her Majesty. I have, however, greatly been touched by her dedication to service especially towards the Commonwealth. Her 21st birthday speech in Cape Town is a must watch. I was blown away by the words that seemed to have come true.
The day I watched it, I had several questions for the Queen. Did she mean what she was saying? What would the 21-year-old princess say to the 96-year-old Queen today? Or, what would the Queen say to her 21-year-old self if we went back in time? Her speech made me understand the power of Words and Intention. She has walked the talk and served with poise and dedication. She is the longest reigning monarch of the UK, having been on the throne for 70 years! The Queen has seen a total of 14 prime ministers during her 70-year-reign! Britain and the rest of the world join in celebrating this great achievement. We congratulate the Queen and wish her a long life.
Learn more about her work and family in this special issue. Issue 5 focuses on strategies for growth. It has been a privilege to tap into these beautiful stellar women’s stories and knowledge and to spread them to other women across the globe. We continue to be moved by the generosity of every woman who is able to share her time and knowledge and experience. All the Stellar women stressed the need for Strategy for success. The women interviewed all agree to the importance of strategy and give their opinions on why it is important. If you’re aware of what strategy is, and you have one, then you are one of the very few as we have learnt that not many people or business leaders have one.
Our cover woman Alison Edgar, who is Chief Smasher of goals reckons that success cannot happen without a clear strategy. She has an MBE, which is Her Majesty The Queen of United Kingdom’s honour of Member of the British Empire for her work in helping entrepreneurs. It is no surprise that she is called the entrepreneur’s god mother. She puts a lot of effort in helping women-owned enterprises and empowering young girls to believe in themselves. There is so much to learn from her life story including the fact that her entrepreneurship journey started at 46 after raising her children.
