10 People You Need to See Before 2027
2027 is nearly here, and if you’re planning for it, you don’t have to do it on your own.
These are ten people I’d happily send you to (caveat: one of them is me). Some will help you make a plan. Some will help you feel like yourself again in your business. And some will help your photos, your home and your wardrobe catch up with the person you’ve become.
These are all women from my communities, and I’m proud to call them friends. I know each of them personally, and I’d vouch for their work any time.
I asked each of them which offer they have that would help a business owner in 2027.
1. Someone to arm you with a plan for the new year
Megha Singh, B-Inc Asia
In a two-hour strategy session, Megha works through where your real opportunities are, which clients to go after, and which services keep selling whatever the economy does. You leave with a quarter-by-quarter plan for 2027, with revenue targets, and a follow-up call in the first quarter to see how it’s going.

Rebecca Downie
Rebecca’s 90-Day Visibility Programme is for women building a business after corporate, and founders whose expertise isn’t getting seen. She helps you get clear on what you want to be known for and shape your message, then builds a visibility strategy around where the people you want to reach are already looking. You leave with that strategy and a practical plan for using it. And since she’s also a photographer, if you choose the photography route, you get 75 brand images and video clips to go with it.

Mangla Sachdev, Expat Business In A Bag
Mangla is a relationship marketing coach, and she specialises in helping expats. She gives very practical, concrete insights: whenever I finish a call with her, I walk away with at least three new ideas. She’s offering a free 30-minute call, because she loves meeting new people. If you’re not sure where to start, start here.

2. Someone to align your spiritual and pragmatic plan of action
Niki Torres, Applied Instinct
Wired to Lead is for founders who’ve done all the quizzes and want to actually use what they found out. Over six sessions in three months, Niki starts with your strengths: what you’re naturally great at, and the ones you’ve leaned on so hard they’ve started working against you. Human Design then shows how you’re built to make decisions and use your energy, and she also includes a tarot session to help you find the answers to some questions. You leave with your Leadership Blueprint, a way of leading, selling and planning your week that feels like you.
Yen Ting Chong
Yen Ting practises Chinese metaphysics, and her personalised 2027 business calendar is built from your birth chart. It marks your favourable days through the year: for growing your wealth mindset, connecting and collaborating, being seen (her Peach Blossom Days), learning and taking action.

3. Someone to elevate your brand image
Two brand photographers with two different ways of working.
Nina Mucalov
Nina takes vibrant, candid shots of founders, so their warmth shines through. She photographs female entrepreneurs in Singapore and London, and she’s brilliant at helping you feel confident in front of the camera. If you want fresh photos all year, she has annual packages too.

Silke Dietz, Zebra Jojo Photography
Silke’s photos have a refined aesthetic: polished and elegant. Choose her if you want imagery that matches the elevated brand you’ve built. Her Styled Edition is the full package: a prop stylist and a makeup artist plan your looks and set for the day, so you just show up, and you leave with more than 100 edited images.
4. Someone to help you get clarity on your space and your style
Everything above works on your business. These two work on the home you run it from, and the way you show up in it. An organised home and a wardrobe that works both mean fewer decisions every day, and more room for everything else.
Nathalie Ricaud, Get Organised and Beyond
Nathalie has been helping people organise their homes for years, and she’s great at finding the calm in the chaos, however your home looks right now. Her Home Space Planning Consultation is for when you’d rather do the decluttering yourself, but need someone to tell you where to start. You pick her brain, online or at home, and leave with a plan for your space that you can follow on your own.

Gracia Habre
Gracia is a personal stylist, image consultant and elegance coach. She works with women in a new chapter whose wardrobe hasn’t caught up with them. I’ve had the honour of going personal shopping with her, and she has an eye for what looks good on people. She helps you break out of old habits and step into the woman you were meant to be all along.
5. Someone to help you build your team of AI assistants
Melody Bay, Ambidextrous Labs
Want AI to take some of 2027’s admin off your hands? That’s me. I’ve built a strategy planner, a social media workflow, inbox capture and a few other skills for overwhelmed founders. In a half-day session, I set them up around your real week.
Here’s to a good 2027.
