When the world wobbles, your brand can steady you.

There’s a lot going on – in the world, in business, in our brains 🫨

But guess what can help?

(No prizes for guessing, BTW - the hook kind of gave it away!)

👉 Your brand can be a place to come back to.
Not just for your clients – for you.

When things feel shaky (world events or just a messy Monday), a strong brand foundation makes the ground feel a bit firmer under your feet.

It reminds you:

✨ Who you are
✨ What you stand for and why
✨ And how you do things differently

📉 During past uncertain times, my clients who’ve stood firm on their brand foundations and have confidently kept showing up?
They are the ones who kept getting work.
The ones people remembered when the time was right.

So when things are feeling a bit wobbly, take a breath and come back to your brand.

It’s your anchor ⚓

Use it to secure your footing and then keep showing up – in a way that feels like you - again and again.

Consistency is the key.

It builds know, like, trust.

And trust in yourself? That’s contagious 😉

🧭 Want to start building your brand foundation?

Comment “BREAKTHROUGH” to get my Free Brand Clarity and Breakthrough Challenge.

I’m Kate - Brand Coach, Designer, and your go-to for spotting what makes you brilliant (especially when you can’t see it yourself). Give me a follow if you’ve got a hunch that strategic branding might be a game-changer and fancy knowing more.

“The person attempting to travel two roads at once will get nowhere.” – Xun Zi

This quote popped up on Insight Timer this morning, and it was like a universal nudge – you know the sort.

Last year, I was definitely guilty of trying to do all the things.

Some of the big, important stuff didn’t get a look in.

But this year, I’m doubling down on being intentional. 🎯

✨ I’m blocking off chunks of time in my week to focus – properly focus – on the things I’ve wanted to do but haven’t created space for.

✨ I’m planning my week instead of flying by the seat of my pants – I’m definitely a go-with-the-flow type.

✨ I’m working with a coach to keep me on track. I’ve asked not to be let off the hook; I know what I’m like!

It actually seems to be working, I’ve been a lot less tempted to pick up my phone for a scroll (my not-so-favourite avoidance tactic) or accidentally grab the Hoover.

Okay, I’m only two weeks in, but you’ve got to start somewhere!

It’s not perfect (mornings are still a battle when it’s dark and cold 🥶), but I’m determined to stick with it.

Why does it matter?

Because this isn’t just about ticking off tasks or feeling productive.
It’s about making space for something bigger – put my big girl pants on bigger.

There’s a project I’ve been thinking about (and avoiding) for a while (hmm, do years count as a while?), and for the first time, it feels like I actually might make it happen. (More on that soon 🤞🏽)

I took a break from social media last year, and I realised how much I missed connecting with you all. So, in the spirit of intentionality, I’m diving back in.

In the meantime, here’s your universal nudge from me:

What’s that one big thing you’ve been putting off?

The one that keeps popping into your mind but never makes it onto your to-do list?

What’s one significant step you can take this week toward that project?

Let me know, and let’s get intentional together 😊

I’ve been mixing business with pleasure, resulting in the best before and after! 😍

💇‍♀️ I’m all about having a good hair day, and Nicola has been my go-to for that for years. So when she asked me about rebranding, I had the inside scoop on what makes her brand tick.

Nicola felt her current branding didn’t feel right any more. I hear that all the time from my clients – you start a business, throw together a logo, and off you go. Then a few years down the road something feels off.🙈

➡️ But here’s the thing: a brand is way more than just a logo or a pretty font. It’s how your clients feel about you, the entire experience, your values, and those little details that set you apart. 💖 And just like a great hair colour, your brand takes time to develop.

I held up a mirror for Nicola so she could see what makes her business so special. Together, we worked on applying the perfect styling to communicate everything visually and verbally to her ideal clients.

🌟 I guided her through my discovery process, digging into her story, strengths, values, and what she envisions for the future.

Letting go of what no longer serves you can be tough during a rebrand, but it’s also empowering and energising! 🤩

As well as a visual overhaul, Nicola made the brave decision to go with a name change. Seeing the results and hearing feedback from her clients, she agrees it was worth it. 🌈

🗣️ “Kate is a true professional and made my rebrand seamless from start to finish. Her ability to understand me and my brand personality was impeccable, and she managed to capture it perfectly. I’m absolutely delighted!”

Together, we landed on a relaxed chic and oh-so-natural look that has filtered through the salon interior, signage, website and printables.

By developing her voice and messaging, Nicola’s brand now radiates her warmth and expertise and communicates the incredible experience she and her team deliver.

Mixing business with pleasure can really lead to something special. 💫💖

Go and take a peek at the website and if you’re looking for a hair refresh or a brand refresh, you can give either of us a call.

💗 Big update: From crafting brands to creating balance – I’m thrilled to share a new project close to my heart.

This design is more than just pixels on a screen - it represents my passion for wellness and self-care.

😍 Say hello to my new brand... Kate Pollitt Holistics

Designing brands has been my thing for 30+ years. Recently, I’ve turned my creative energy into something more personal - throwing my heart and soul into teaching something else I love... Movement and Meditation! 🤸🏼🧘‍♂️

I've trained hard all year, qualifying as a Level 3 Pilates Mat Teacher in August and cementing my years of meditation practice into a teaching certification in September.

I know! It’s all come as a surprise to me, too! 😅

The challenge has pushed me miles outside my comfort zone, but it’s so exciting to step out from behind the screen and help people in a brand new way. ✨

Desire Branding continues to be part of my life, but you’re now just as likely to find me on the Pilates mat as the mouse mat.

So, join me for a different design adventure, one with a brief to better your mind, body and spirit - come and hang out with me .uk over on Instagram

On Thursdays, at 6pm, you'll find me teaching beginners' mat at The Pilates Hub in Clitheroe - you’re welcome to join me there too.

Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to share this new chapter filled with movement, mindfulness, and a lot of joy!

Turns out e-bikes are epic! 😮

As a regular hardtail rider, I’ve secretly wanted a go for a while. The uphills kill me every time! 😅

This weekend, up in Dumfries and Galloway, I got my chance.

Mr Pol and I hit the forest trails at Kiroughtree, one of the seven stanes, and popped our e-bike cherries 🍒

Damn! It was fun. 🤩

All the joy of the downhill with none of the brutal punishment of the uphill. 🥵

There was even a TURBO button 💥

I’m amazed we resisted the extra helping hand this long.

We went further and faster than ever before using our own pedal power. 💪🏼

It did feel a bit like cheating, but I’ll live with the guilt 😆

This wouldn’t be a business post if I didn’t draw a parallel with slogging solo uphill in your business, rather than getting a helping hand.

If you’re ready to give your brand a turbo boost, you know where I am 😉

I’ve been on a play date today!

Well, it’s tricky to call it work.

It’s always fun when I’m on a client photoshoot with this camera wielding wonder 😀

Pavel Szylobryt and I met years ago in slightly strange and special circumstances involving a steam train 🚂 and my Dad’s ashes ⚱️

He’s been stuck with me ever since, because he’s my main man when it comes to brand photography and video 📸

Together we decide on best shot set up, help clients to relax, and I’m in charge of clearing clutter from shots, rearranging limbs and carrying Pav’s kit 😅 while he works his magic.

If you don’t already know him and you’re a keen photographer, check him out on YouTube, where you’ll find him reviewing the best kit in the business.

https://www.youtube.com/pav_sz

It took three attempts to get a selfie we were both happy with - anyone know a good photographer? 😆

Would you go into business with your friend?

⏪ In October, my bestie Joanne and I disappeared to Yorkshire for two days to reflect on “what next?” for our businesses.

There’s nothing like a change of scenery to give you a fresh perspective.

💭 A shared dream revealed itself, and we talked about combining our skillsets, purpose, and passions to make it come true.

Next news, we were motoring up the M6, making calls to register our new business, ‘Soul Sister Retreats,’ and viewing our first luxury venue in the Lake District.

😅 It happened so fast we may have broken the speed limit!

From best pals to business partners in the blink of an eye.

Superpowers synchronised, we’re gob-smacked at what we’ve made happen - alone, we’d be thinking about it forever. 💥

Being back in a team has given me a new lease of life 🥳, and between you and me - it’s SO MUCH FUN it seems wrong to call it work. 🤫

✋🏽 We haven’t entered into this lightly - we’ve both seen business partnerships ruin friendships.

📜 Serious ground rules are in place - our “Gob on your chin” weekly check-in, inspired by a wild swimming incident, nips any niggles in the bud (ask, and I will elaborate 😆)

💚 We’ve also crossed our hearts, promising our friendship comes first if there’s ever any friction.

As long as our vision and values align, we can do this! 🤩

👉 What would worry you about doing business with your bestie?
👉 If you’ve done it, what tips do you have for us?

We’re living our best lives and keep pinching ourselves.

👇🏽 One look at our retreat, and you’ll get why.

😍 http://bit.ly/3ETBYBr

We already have six wonderful women joining us in April to relax, reconnect and rediscover their JOY in a truly stunning location.

🧘⛰️🍃🥾💦🎨

We’ve room for four more.

Fancy joining us?

We’re sharing our passion project adventures on Insta and Facebook .uk - we’d love you to drop in and see us.

It will be branding business as usual here (mostly 😉)

If you want to make progress, take a step back.

I went to my Pilates reformer class this morning - the same as every Monday.

Today was different.

For one, we were in a new venue.

Was I a bit excited that it’s now right around the corner from home, and I can be there in 2 minutes on foot? Oh yes 🙌🏼

It was also exciting to have a fresh start, fresh energy, and go back to basics.

We focused on our positioning, alignment and core muscles. Stuff we learnt ages ago but has slowly slipped away.

Rather than rushing randomly through the actions, we were in the moment, feeling into every move and executing it with purpose.

💥 What a difference!

It was a reminder of why we were there and how to dig deep and achieve it. 🤩

Funny how a fresh perspective, stripping everything away, and going back to basics can be so powerful.

It gives you renewed focus, clarity and confidence to go all in and come out stronger 💪🏼

🤔 Ever thought about what would happen if you did this with your brand?

☕️ If you’re keen to find out, drop me a DM and let’s chat about going back to basics and getting brand clarity and confidence.

🤫 I might even be up for divulging who my amazing Pilates teacher is, and the location of her fabulous new studio.

20/07/2022

🤔 Do you stop and reflect?
Or, do you finish one thing and dash to the next?

🛑 My coach friend always tells me to stop and take it in.

I need the reminder.

So, yesterday, after opening the doors to my new group programme, I had a little think.

Here are my top three takeaways from the past eight weeks:

💡You don’t need to do everything alone - it’s slow and painful - getting help is where it's at!

I’m a bu**er for doing it ALL myself, but not this time. Solo Kate would still be staring at the first hurdle, wondering how to get over it, and thinking about some distant launch date in 2023. Talk about time and energy suck! Investing in help from people in the know, it went from being a seed of an idea to launch in two months, with none of the usual head banging on brick walls.

💡You underestimate how much you underestimate yourself

Funny how we can never clearly see what we bring to the table. The stuff that comes easily, well, it’s no big deal. When other people point out your skills and strengths, you see superpowers where you once saw “it’s just something I do”.

💡Surround yourself with fun and creative people, and amazing things happen

I got much more out of the past eight weeks than a group programme. Working on your own, it’s incredible how quickly you forget the thrill of working with other people. There’s been lots of creative thinking, revelations, laughter, clapping, whooping, high-fiving, and firm friends made.

Come to think of it! I got a flavour of exactly what my clients will experience in my new ‘Brand Clarity and Confidence Accelerator’ programme 😃

If you’re a coach (or know one) who is currently banging their head on a brick wall, wondering what makes you different, so you can stand out in a sea of coaches, and want to have some fun figuring it out, here's a link to find out more:

Do you wish you could jump for joy when talking about your business and do it in a way that generates results - like an inbox full of ideal clients ready to sign up?

Are you ready to step into YOU and stand out in a sea of coaches?

Brand Clarity and Confidence is the missing jigsaw piece holding you back from getting where you want to be.

Whether that’s:

🤩 Raising your prices
🤩 Securing that first high-ticket 1-1 client that pays in full
🤩 Running sell-out group programmes
🤩 Talking about your services with pride and confidence because you know the value you offer is off the charts 📈

You’ve been trying for too long to build a business with no foundation, but fear no longer, because I have the answer.

🎉 I’m excited to announce my new group coaching programme ‘Brand Clarity and Confidence Accelerator’ is here to empower you to:

💥 Attract dream clients
💥 Do more of the work you love
💥 Raise your profile
💥 And your prices!

I’m going to drop a link into the comments where you can find out more and book a compatibility call.

We’ll explore where you are now and where you want to be, and I’ll show you how going back to basics will transform your coaching business, and fill you with clarity, confidence, direction, purpose, and excitement for the future.
