This month's speaker will inspire you with her personal and entrepreneurial stories. Helen Elizabeth Evans is the daughter of Welsh ex-patriots. She grew up in rural Swaziland, was educated in apartheid South Africa and then moved to London on her own at age 24, where she began a corporate career that included Pathe Entertainment, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Virgin.
Helen never expected to run her own business but through illness became an accidental entrepreneur, importing French furniture, running property services companies, pioneering the introduction of interpretive fingerprint analysis to the UK and now helping people create truly fulfilled lives, by finding their purpose and expressing it through their work. She is known as the UK's No.1 Scientific Hand & Fingerprint Analyst. She has been featured in a number of magazines, and been on Channel 4 and Channel 5.
She has a reputation for being a warm, engaging speaker, refreshingly honest, with a delightful sense of humour.
Helen is married with 2 children and currently lives in west London.
