We are pleased to share the 38th edition of Powerhouse Global Magazine with the world. In this edition we have featured some incredible leaders who are transforming lives globally. At pgmag, our core objective is to continue to showcase the brilliance of leaders and aspiring leaders from around the world, and this we have kept on since the inception of this publication in 2018. We have seen massive progress in the lives of those we have served. No wonder a wise man said, the greatest form of living is service. When we set out on this journey, little did we realise that it would become what it is today considering the recent global challenge (Covid-19). I am amazed at the progress we have made with this act of service to humanity. The articles and interviews in this edition would provoke positive change in the mind of the reader. One of such is that of Powerhouse Cordelia Gaffar – a woman with a bold transformational story. We are excited to present her as the cover girl for this edition. Pgmag is currently being read in over 100 countries of the world. This could not have been possible without your support – thank you for believing in us. I want to use this opportunity to celebrate our global family – especially the lead designer of the publication. We got here because we refused to give up on our mission to keep on shining light for others to see. Thank you to all of you.

DR. NOELLE HUNTER (DNH) PGMAG: Dr. Noelle, welcome to today’s interview with Lady Anita. DNH: Thank Lady Anita. I am elated to share this time with you. PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers. DNH: I’m Dr. Noelle Hunter. I’m a lecturer of political science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where I teach courses in international relations, U.S. government, public policy and federal institutions. I’m also president emeritus and co-founder of iStand Parent Network Inc. iStand is a voluntary NGO dedicated to reuniting families whose children are victims of International Parental Child Abduction, or IPCA. At iStand, we connect parents and families with peer support and resources to bring their children home from international abduction. iStand was founded in 2014 by parents like me whose children had been internationally abducted to a foreign nation. In 2011, my daughter was parentally abducted from the USA to Mali. For nearly three years, I appealed to Heaven, mobilised a global support network, made countless trips to Washington DC to advocate for her return, and even went to Mali twice pursuing my daughter. Through God’s spectacular power, she came home and now I work closely with other advocates to help 12 AUGUST 2022 # ISSUE 38

My foremost suggestion to the younger generation is to believe in the power and agency of hope. Our globalised society has abundant opportunities for them to create the type of world that they want to live in within their own lives and spheres of influence. Our interconnected, technologically-infused society has multiple gateways for building community and realising their unique gifts and talents. Most importantly, I encourage them to develop and actualize a heart of service. Serving others is deeply rewarding, and in the process of serving others, our noblest dreams are brought to life.

PGMAG INTERVIEW WITH
JULIAN ROBUS (JR) PGMAG: Julian, welcome to today’s interview with Lady Anita. JR: Thank you so much for inviting me Lady Anita. I’m delighted and honoured to be here. PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers. JR: Hi Everyone. I’m Julian Robus. The accidental creator of Happy Onion Living. A proven 3-step system that allows you to get rid of stress, anxiety, depression and unhappiness naturally. I’m a Happiness & Stress-free-living skills Mentor. And a self-realised Spiritual Teacher.
MY STORY - IN A NUTSHELL I was born in the UK. Had a rather unfortunate childhood. (Which I’ve since discovered laid the foundation for life-long unhappiness and depression). I was raised and educated in Germany. Came back to the UK aged 15. We currently live on the S.E. corner of the UK. In a little house by the sea. I’ve been married since 1986. We have two grownup daughters and 4 grand-monsters aged

7–11. And a little dog called Looney. I started my working life as an engineer, but soon fell into high level technical sales. In December 2008 (age 45) after too many high-pressure job roles and decades of battling stress, anxiety, depression and the general overwhelmingness of modern day life. It all became too much and I lost the will to live. I didn't want to be here anymore. Which made no sense whatsoever, because I had everything.

kids and a dog - THEN YOU’LL BE HAPPY - B.S.
JR: 1. I really struggled with this When none of that worked I start distracting myself with endless shopping trips. Buying loads of stuff I didn’t really want or need. Driving too fast. Over eating. Binge watching TV etc etc etc. I didn’t know it back then, but all these were self-distractions. Unrecognised attempts to escape thoughts, feelings and emotions. And to try and fill the big empty feeling inside = UNLOVEDNESS. Over the years I’ve learned the hard way that there is only one way to genuine happiness. Become peaceful inside, reconnect with and live from your true self. When all of my personal development stuff didn’t works I started looking further afield. In my desperation I was prepared to try anything. And I did: NLP - EFT - Life coaching - Hypnosis - Reiki - Yoga. All great stuff, but ultimately empty in the longterm. Eventually, in 2010, I tried proper meditation. BINGO.
20 AUGUST 2022 # ISSUE 38
All in all my little search turned into a 9 year journey of selfdiscovery. Non-stop trial and error and 1000’s of hours of deep meditation. Massive improvement in my stress, anxiety and depression levels. In fact I was so blown away by it that I retrained and became a stress-reduction, mindfulness and meditation instructor the same year. But still, something was missing. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. All in all my little search turned into a 9 year journey of self-discovery. Non-stop trial and error and 1000’s of hours of deep meditation. Eventually I developed the right combination of strategies and techniques to clear negative thoughts and feelings. Stay calm, happy and productive. And handle life with ease every day. Now I help others free themselves too. PGMAG: In your capacity as a leader, what are the keys to
for decades. I either had it all together at work, or at home. One was always going great, whilst the other was in bits. I’ve had two burn-outs and almost a nervous breakdown from pushing myself way too hard for far too long. And for what? The next new motorbike, car or house - THAT WILL MAKE ME HAPPY. These are all endless no-win MindGames unknowingly bred into us by our society. They take us further and further away from happiness. How many super successful people do we hear about every day. Business people, musicians, TV personalities, film stars and sports superstars, who have everything. More money than they know what to do with. Yet they are miserable. Despite all their success. They feel lost, confused about life, lonely, incomplete and unfulfilled. What’s really going on? UNLOVEDNESS. They’ve gotten to the end of the rainbow, they’ve found the huge pot of gold – but no lasting happiness, no contentment, no inner peace.

Why they come up and how to clear them. And establish inner peace, the KEY to reasonless lasting happiness, joyful living and contentment. The “YOU MUST BE RICH, FAMOUS & SUCCESSFUL TO BE HAPPY RECIPE” obviously does’t work. When are we going to catch on? In my experience. The key to work/life balance is knowing how to live ONLY in the moment. And how to stay peaceful inside, at work, rest and play. Genuine happiness, contentment, health and productivity all flow from inner peace. PGMAG: Please tell us more about the ‘3-step’ system which you have created. JR: We are living in a media
The “YOU MUST BE RICH, FAMOUS & SUCCESSFUL TO BE HAPPY RECIPE” obviously does’t work. When are we going to catch on? created stress, anxiety, depression and unhappiness epidemic and it’s getting worse. We are being manipulated and controlled by greed, fear and scarcity. The Happy Onion Living program (H.O.L) is dedicated to the relief of human suffering from the Human-condition and the troublesome three. 1) Mind/thoughts, 2) Feelings and 3) emotions. Mind is totally misunderstood and therefore unmanaged. It is the root cause of all of our stress, problems, unhappiness and 90+% of our health issues. H.O.L. is a self-liberation system – it’s the ultimate lasting-happiness and stressfree-living program. Although I’ve mainly worked with business owners and entrepreneurs up until
generations to come. This program empowers anyone who’s ready to stop suffering. How to understand, neutralise and dissolve the real root causes of STRESS, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION, negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours – simply quickly and naturally. And to create a calm, happy, healthy, content and productive life you can enjoy. I’m living proof that it works. As are the staggering testimonials on my website. (HOL is my life’s work and it undoubtedly saved my life). In order to serve as many people as possible I’m now looking for forward thinking business owners who genuinely want to help their employees live happy, health, productive lives. Business that wholeheartedly implement the H.O.L. principles can expect to significantly reduce sick-pay and recruitment cost. Skyrocket staff retention, customer loyalty and profitability.

Love Of My Life By Antonetta Fernandes What was I before you swept me off my feet? Why did I allow you into my life? Was it the choice of giving and receiving that finally turned my head? Who knows a ‘gift’ such as this, oh Love of My Life, I never want you to let go. When I was hand-cuffed with an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation You gave me the keys to my heaven When I carried the heavy chains of bitterness You installed ‘Forgiveness’ oh Love of My Life, you set me free While reflecting on why we are so aligned together You were busy working on my Cortisol Wow what I got in return was Serotonin You are ‘Fabawesome’ oh Love of My Life, you are too valuable to let go We make a perfect team together because we share every moment with love You have given me the most powerful gift humans can give each other A powerful priceless insight to be ‘Madly and Truly in Love with me’ You are ‘Love’ oh Love of My Life, I am eternally grateful to thee.
