This week, I’m talking about purpose — what it means, why it matters, and how it can be the driving force behind your visibility and personal brand. Inspired by a recent conversation with Patrick Grant, of Sewing Bee fame and Community Clothing, this episode is all about showing up with intention and impact.

Patrick Grant's Book- Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How having fewer, better things can make us happier.

In this episode of More Impact, I discuss the biggest misunderstanding around personal branding—and how it's showing up in workplaces every day. Whether you're introverted, early in your career, or simply unsure how to “do” personal brand, this conversation will help you shift from performance to presence and authenticity.

Has this inspired you to make a start on your personal brand?

This episode explores a topic that affects every interaction you have—whether you’re in a meeting, giving a presentation, or even just walking into a room: nonverbal communication.

We often focus on what we say, but people pick up on how we say it and how we carry ourselves far more than we realise.

Research suggests that over 50% of communication is nonverbal—so even if your words are polished, your body language could be sending a completely different message.

In this episode we cover how to project confidence and empathy, practical steps to make sure your nonverbal cues align with your personal brand, and how to read others to strengthen relationships and influence.

What if some days life is ordinary. No hustle, no levelling up. No striving to be the best you can be.
