My girlfriends got me through the day while being bullied at school. My grandmother consistently encouraged and allowed me to be myself, and my mother constantly supported me through thick and thin. All these women have had a positive influence on my life.
However, in society, and especially in the media, women are oftentimes not treated as equals. Because of that, I wanted to dedicate this article to some of the most amazing women in business, who, in their own way, have not only influenced my life but the lives of millions of people across the globe.
That said, and in no particular order of merit, please allow me to introduce you to… Eleven Rockstar Women In Business You Should Know This Year!
Isabell Rodriguez – Scandinavia’s #1 Women’s Confidence Coach
Would you be able to overcome sexual abuse, age five? What if you had run away from home to seek refuge in a women’s shelter, aged 14? And what do you think your future would look like after years of physical and mental abuse?
If you had no other choice but to live through those life-changing events, as well as the destructive consequences of eating disorders, self-hate, alcohol and drug addiction, would you have even survived to tell the tale?
Well, not only did Isabell Rodrigez survive those experiences, she flipped them upsidedown, turned them around and created the, ‘Rebuild Your Life Program which she now uses to help women break free from their traumas and reach their highest potential.
Isabell is also a children’s activist whose story, currently being evaluated in Sweden, may lead to a possible change in the law concerning child abuse.
Isabell is also an international speaker and award-winning author of, Isabell Then & Now. Her compelling story formed the basis for an award-winning movie about her life (filmed in Sweden), which won the coveted Kristallen award in 2017. In addition to giving back, Isabell lives in Costa Rica where she hosts High-end business Mastermind retreats for women.
