    Key Takeaways:

    Unmasking for Connection | Tanya Lawrenson
    Oct 14 2025
    How authenticity, vulnerability, and safe spaces transform relationships.

    In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Eminence Project, Briony Liber sits down with Tanya Lawrenson, founding director of Trucks, Machines and Components and Africa Machinery and Equipment, for a conversation that goes far beyond crankshafts and components.

    Together, they explore the emotional terrain of authenticity, the cost of masking, and the courage it takes to make yourself visible — especially in industries where vulnerability is rarely welcomed. Tanya shares how her first business became a safe space for herself and others, and how her journey of unmasking has led to deeper human connection, more meaningful relationships, and a redefinition of success.

    This episode is a raw and resonant reflection on what it means to be truly seen and how creating safe spaces — personally and professionally — can change everything.

    Key Takeaways:
    - Why masking your true self leads to disconnection, burnout, and loneliness
    - How Tanya built a business that became her emotional refuge and support system
    - The role of vulnerability in building trust and ethical business relationships
    - Why authentic connection is more valuable than surface-level success
    - The emotional cost of keeping up appearances—and the freedom of letting go
    - How unmasking leads to smaller circles but deeper, more fulfilling relationships
    - Practical reflections on how to create safe spaces and show up more authentically

    Whether you are navigating leadership, entrepreneurship, or personal growth, this episode offers a deeply human reminder: being seen for who you truly are is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself — and others.

    Whose Life Are You Living? | Petro du Pisani
    Jul 17 2025
    Making conscious choices to reclaim your time, energy, and purpose.

    In this episode of The Eminence Project, Briony Liber sits down with Petro du Pisani - executive coach, adventurer, and conscious pauser - for a powerful conversation about what it means to live a life of your own design. Together, they explore the journey from unconscious conformity to conscious agency, and the courage it takes to step off the corporate treadmill and into a life that truly aligns with your values.

    Petro shares her story of leaving a successful career at the age of 51 to take a year-long sabbatical filled with experimentation, reflection, and rediscovery. From yoga teacher training in the Maldives to trekking the Himalayas, she reveals how she used this time to reconnect with her purpose and redefine success on her own terms.

    This episode is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: whose life am I living? And if it’s not yours — what would it take to change that?

    Key Takeaways:
    - Why we often unconsciously follow life paths shaped by others’ expectations.
    - How to recognise when your values and your lifestyle are out of alignment.
    - The role of the inner critic — and how to balance it with self-compassion and courage.
    - What it means to make yourself your own “Eminence Project.”
    - How to experiment with new ways of living, even if you can’t take a full sabbatical.
    - The power of doing a “time audit” to reclaim space for yourself in your own life. Connect with Petro on LinkedIn · Visit BrionyLiber.com · Instagram · Follow The Briony Liber Coaching Group on LinkedIn · Connect with Briony
