Lovely listeners, we're dropping in between episodes this week because both of us are incredibly excited about Fi's new Brand Catalyst Programme and I wanted to give her the opportunity to share that excitement and take the chance to celebrate.

In our conversation we talk about how the programme came about and some of the strategic considerations we have had to make with regard to how it sits within the rest of Fi's work. We talk about Fi finding her flow and the creative unfolding edge of her business and why she is so looking forward to the new year. So alongside the what, the why, and the how of the programme itself, there will no doubt be some behind the scenes insights that we hope will be equally valuable.

Happy listening and we look forward to being back on Wednesday with the next full length episode.

To find out more about the programme you can visit https://www.thebrand-stylist.com/brand-catalyst-programme and if it resonates, I wholeheartedly invite you to take advantage if the whacking great £300 off that Fi is offering if you book before 29th November.

Style and Substance - Avoiding Stagnation in Business
play

10/16/24 • 42 min

How to Keep things Moving and Avoid Getting Stuck in a Rut.

Welcome back lovely listeners to our last episode of the season before we head into the half term break. As we look forward to the last quarter of the year we are all about keeping the mojo going, maintaining momentum and avoiding that joy sapping, energy draining business limiting experience of being stuck in a rut. We cover a whole load in this conversation including modelling out some of how Fi avoids stagnation in her own business, why frustration can be a handy motivator, the importance of plateauing every so often, why momentum isn't always about be more, do more, have more and how to connect with our innate drivers. There's also a mention of the upcoming breakfast event and a reminder if you missed out on joining us due to being sold out so quickly, we have opened a wait list for the next one which you can find over at https://www.thebrand-stylist.com/the-breakfast-event. If you'd like to be the first to hear of the next event and get priority access for booking then just pop your details on the form and we'll be in touch very soon.

Happy listening lovely listeners, we really hope you enjoy the show.

Hello lovely loyal listeners, firstly a huge thank you for supporting the podcast, subscribing and being so quick to tune into today's episode.

A technical glitch meant that instead of the 38 minute part 1 episode that we had intended, the full 1 hour episode went live first thing. We've now corrected it, but if you've already subscribed and downloaded the show, your podcast player is likely still feeding you the one hour episode. Great if you'd like to listen to the whole lot in one go, but if you'd rather, as we intended get the episode in two (slightly more boundaried) shorter episodes then you simply need to mark that episode as played and restart your app and the new part 1 should magically appear. Thanks for bearing with us and apologies if you thought we'd gone slightly mad. Thanks again for listening.

Style and Substance - Renegotiating Boundaries Part 1.
play

10/02/24 • 37 min

Setting expectations and managing yourself and your clients when things need to shift.

Boundaries are tricky to set and hold for many of us, but absolutely essential when you want to do business on your own terms. This episode is split into two parts and this week we are talking about ways to establish boundaries and manage expectations up front, to avoid things having to get sticky.

We are reframing boundary setting, helpful for those conflict avoidant folks amongst you, and we dig into what to consider and how to manage it when life happens and our capacity and availability shifts. There's some tips in there about what to think about when re-setting boundaries in a kind and human way and plenty more coming up next week.

We really hope it's helpful and look forward to part two next week.
