Empower your inner leader: A Shero's journey to overcoming self-sabotage
Strategist and coach Aneesa Theron. Image: Supplied. On 30 August a Women's Month event is set to cut deeper than surface celebration. SHE Leads A Shero's Journey - Break Free from Self-Sabotage to Empower Your Inner Leader, will be held at InuWell at the V&A, a sanctuary for transformation, chosen with intention. Led by neuroscience based leadership strategist and coach Aneesa Theron, the event is for women across corporate, entrepreneurial and public sectors, who are ready to release perfectionism, people pleasing, imposter syndrome and burnout, to reclaim their power. Aneesa, founder of CRAFT Advisory Services, brings evidence-based tools rooted in neuroscience, systems thinking, and positive psychology to individuals and organisations seeking authentic meaningful change. Her clients span corporate teams, founders, and leadership programs across sectors. The event comes at a time when employee wellbeing, psychological safety, and authentic leadership are no longer 'soft skills,' but critical growth factors for teams and economies. We are planting seeds for women who are ready to lead authentically from within, and in companies that are ready to invest in real, human transformation. With rising disengagement, mental health decline, and overextended teams, this work is no longer optional. 'Women are the backbone of society, but we can't keep pouring from an empty vessel,' Theron says. 'This is personal,' Theron says. 'I didn't just study the science, I lived the survival. Raised in volatility, I became a people pleaser, saviour, and high performer to survive. These masks came at the cost of my voice and wellbeing. This event mirrors the very journey I took to break free, and now I empower others to do the same.' Video Player is loading.

Loch Lomond high ropes course reopens under new ownership after sudden closure
Owners Ian and Rhonda Fraser have taken over the high ropes course at Lomond Shores - which was known as TreeZone before its shock closure last year. A popular Loch Lomond aerial adventure course has reopened with new owners following its shock closure last year. Ian and Rhonda Fraser are the new owners of the high ropes course at Lomond Shores, previously known as TreeZone. Now rebranded as Go Wild Loch Lomond, the attraction promises fresh excitement for thrill-seekers. The TreeZone Loch Lomond facility ceased operations last October, while their Aviemore location continues to welcome adventurers. In a statement released last October, TreeZone expressed "with regret" their decision to close the site, citing the complexity and size of their business as reasons for refocusing on other ventures. The new owners are determined to enhance the experience, with Rhonda saying: "We're delighted to be able to once again offer the Adventure Tree Top Experience at Lomond shores both to the local community and visitors to the area. And while the ropes and zip lines are still here with a brand new first course on offer – and even more thrilling, what we're building goes far beyond the trees integrating our passion for coaching and self development, using 'The Hero's Journey' as one of our pillars to build from, but also working with other local businesses." She continued: "This isn't just about reopening an adventure course. It's about connecting people, championing local businesses, and making sure our community is at the centre of what happens here in Loch Lomond - including future proofing the interests of other local, family run adventure businesses by working together. "We both come from backgrounds rooted in this. Ian has spent an active 30 years+ climbing, cycling, and guiding in the outdoors - he's even a former Scottish Madison Champion and has bagged more than 150 Munros, is on the Scottish Cycling Committee and Scottish rep on the British Cycle Committee with a passion for track and road coaching." Rhonda went on: "I have over 25 years experience in small, family run businesses and have a passion for these collaborating together, having spent nearly a decade as Chair of the Queen Margaret Drive Community, helping organise the annual QMD street festival and countless local projects and fundraisers. I was honoured to be awarded the Responsible Business Champion for our constituency." Ian and Rhonda explained their decision to partner with neighbouring enterprises stemmed from recent discussions surrounding local developments. "We know there's been a lot of talk lately about local developments and that is why we've started working with other local businesses to make it easier for visitors to discover and book the amazing things on offer in the Loch Lomond area," Rhonda added. "Keeping the emphasis on the incredible family run businesses that have served the area and visitors for generations using our incredible location at Lomond Shores and plans to add to and develop our website in conjunction with these businesses. "We're not a corporation. We're a local family with an invested interest in the local area and businesses working together. So whether you're running a local business - guiding hikes, renting paddleboards, offering yoga by the loch, or running a lovely B&B - we'd love to hear from you and have a chat about working together. "We're here. We're open. We are excited to get going and we'd love for you to be part of this next chapter for not only us, but Loch Lomond and the surrounding area."
