Josephine is a freelance writer living in London who specializes in How to articles and Career Development. If she is not browsing through the shelves in bookshops, she will be power walking around parks to keep fit. Jo is a movie lover who enjoys watching big budget blockbusters as well as golden oldies starring icons like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. One of her guilty pleasures is watching reality TV shows like the X Factor, Strictly and the Only Way Is Essex. She spends hours streaming these fluffy light entertainment shows on her laptop. They are a form of escapism which allows her mind to wander. For Jo, empowerment is a transformation of a person’s mind and soul through personal development and ultimately to realize their full potential for their lives.
