...Lagoon's dozen tented rooms offer simple, rustic comforts underneath thick Makuti thatch. Its handful of suites - a more recent addition to the resort costing another witch doctor and a couple of goats - boast plunge pools and space for private dining. Just make sure you're hungry: dishes like crab ravioli in white wine and saffron sauce or grilled squillfish, all served up by local staff, make the best of what the island's waters offer...

But after 10 years, she broke off and started Global Lead Management Consulting. She likens her decision to leave P&G to a hermit crab deserting its shell to seek a better one. "I was fueled by fear and driven by faith," she says. "I'm scared of drowning, and that's why I scuba dive. You've got to face up to the fear and own it to get to the next level...
