Summary
In this Executive Edge Magazine interview, global speaker, mind coach and bestselling author Sharron Lowe shares the philosophy and lived experience behind her work. Over three decades, Sharron has coached executives and beauty consultants for some of the world’s most prestigious luxury brands — including CHANEL, Christian Dior, Estée Lauder and L’Oréal — delivering bespoke programmes across more than 50 countries and earning a reputation as “the speaker and coach who adds millions to brands.”
The conversation moves between two interconnected stories: the corporate methodology and the personal journey that deepened it. On the professional side, Sharron unpacks the thinking behind her bestselling book The Mind Makeover: The Answers to Becoming the Best You Yet, explaining why she rejects the “what’s broken, what do we fix” model of coaching in favour of celebration, continual evolution and what she calls “productive disturbance” — the deliberate shift from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic, lasting change. She illustrates how her framework operates inside organisations using the analogy of a sat nav, requires absolute clarity on current reality and destination, and must always begin at executive level to travel through a business intact. One example: an audience of 1,000 beauty consultants whose mindset shift moved a brand’s market position for the first time in its history, generating millions in additional sales.
The interview’s emotional centre is Sharron’s account of a two-year period of profound personal loss and adversity, and the “coffee cup moment” that became her turning point — a smashed cup, a flip-chart pad, and the words “I can’t” struck through and replaced with “So I MUST.” That decision led her to the MindvalleyU stage in Amsterdam, where she delivered From Loss to Light, Setbacks to Comebacks and was voted one of the platform’s top speakers.
Sharron also addresses the wider cultural moment, offering a response to rising fear and anxiety in a fast-changing world (“Is this change difficult, or just different?”), and closes with practical guidance for aspiring speakers: earn the right to the stage, lead with service rather than ego, and start where you are.
It’s a candid, generous and quietly powerful piece — equal parts business strategy, mindset philosophy and personal testimony.
