INTERVIEW WITH:
AGNES GEORGE (AG) PGMAG: Agnes, welcome to today's interview. AG: Thank you for the opportunity to be featured in Powerhouse Global Magazine. PGMAG: Please tell us a little bit about yourself. AG: I am an entrepreneur, a mother of one son and I have two beautiful grandchildren. I was educated in the Caribbean and attended the University of the West Indies where I became a certified, qualified teacher. I taught for three years but my passion was nursing so following my dream I travelled to the United Kingdom to fulfil the dream and help sick people. My passions are personal development and helping people, so firstly I obtained a certificate in management studies, followed by a first degree in nursing with higher degree, then a Masters degree in the Art of Midwifery. I was promoted to midwifery management, commissioned and managed a neonatal unit, which was highly rewarded and successful. I specialised in training of special care babies born to mothers with diabetes. I had a desire to learn about sickle cell and thalassaemia disease, and I'm now a certified specialist in this area. I have always felt a great calling to serve and reach people globally, having seen the devastation that diabetes causes. I found my purpose and trained to become a certified world class speaker, a certified Neuro Linguistic Practitioner (NLP), a Transformation Coach, a Diabetes Health Strategist, an Empowerment Mentor and certified leadership 46 DECEMBER 2020
trainer. As an entrepreneur I founded the Health & Mental Well Being Company: Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with Agnes George. I believe that everyone has a right to be healthy, and that everyone can achieve and maintain good health through health education and with support from a coach. I believe that we can achieve anything with the right mindset and never allowing our past to influence our future choices. PGMAG: As a leader, what are some of the steps required to remotely support our team at these challenged times?
