What makes a 6 Star Leader? Is the 6th Star really 5 plus 1? These are the questions that we answer through our conversations with guests who are driven by a purpose bigger than themselves and have a desire to reach more people. Our guests are successful business owners, entrepreneurs and passionate professionals who always aspire to evolve, improve, and better themselves and the lives of those they impact. Most often they put the customer experience at the forefront of everything they do. Each week your host Aveline Clarke creates a space where she and her guest have a conversation about what it takes to bring that 6th Star to the world through their business. This isn’t one of those podcasts where the hosts fire questions at an interviewee in the hot seat; it’s a collaborative exploration and ongoing global conversation about customer journey excellence, employee engagement, humanising business and what that 6th star really means, and how it can be used to create more impact for a better future for us all.

Something Interesting About You:
I started out as a medical anthropologist where I realized that the impacts of industrialized culture on indigenous peoples was causing the same mental and physical illnesses that we struggle with. I speak Spanish. I started visiting Mexico when I was 14, lived in Spain for 2 years and did my doctoral research in Cuba under Castro's rule, where I witnessed first hand the impacts of dictatorship, poverty and the US embargo on everyday people there. I also teach one yoga class a week for fun, do aerial and am passionate about dance, including its healing potential.
