Attracta Courtney
Founder and CEO
Attracta Beauty Awards
I am the founder and CEO of The Attracta Beauty Awards. I am a motivational beauty speaker, activist for ageless beauty and a former Health Care Professional and Professional Make-Up Artist.
Share an experience or challenge that has shaped you? Growing up and coming from Northern Ireland taught me that divided communities do not thrive. Follow your intuitive curiosity, speak up, and when you extend your hand or story in genuine friendship and kindness, momentous things happen and change.
Best piece of advice you have ever been given? Listen to people who desire you to do well.
What advice would you give to your younger self or a woman just starting her career? Follow your passion with action, don’t be discouraged with disappointment, continue to knock on many doors and some will eventually open, and when you least expect it opportunities arise. The quiet moments can be the most creative to solidify your vision.
What does success mean to you? Sleeping peacefully at night!
How do you handle challenges and changes? What's in your toolkit? When faced with challenges, it so easy to panic first, but then I go into silence and a quiet environment to process the task and brain storm positive outcomes - going for a walk in nature always supports this uncomfortable process for me, results come quicker when my mind is balanced and not in chaos. I practice simplification, mindfulness and breathing slowly, take time quietly to process the challenge or change - then communicate with the best people who can support you!
Why is it important to support women in business and women-led business? Sharing challenges and success is a very supportive way to encourage others to keep going to achieve their vision.
