The Chief Nurse of London on Leadership and Purpose: In Conversation with Karen Bonner MBE
May’s Monday Muse is a special edition to celebrate International Nurses Day on 12th May.

The Power of Not Waiting for Permission: In Conversation with Louise Hazel
I first met Louise in 2019 while completing my final-year dissertation, which explored the barriers elite athletes face when building themselves as personal brands. At the time, she had just moved to Los Angeles to launch her boutique training facility in Hollywood, and I remember being in awe of her bravery - choosing entrepreneurship in a foreign country when London wasn’t ready for her vision. Writing this feature years later, her journey resonates so deeply. At 19, during
