    #171. I read 150+ books in one year. Was it worth it?

    If you’ve ever wondered how to read more books, or asked yourself “Is it actually possible to read 100 books a year?” — this episode breaks it down. I share exactly how I read over 3 books a week for one year, not by forcing myself to read faster, but by building simple, sustainable daily reading habits that fit into real life. This isn’t about speed reading, hustle culture, or unrealistic daily routines. It’s about making reading feel enjoyable, calming and consistent — even if you’re busy, distracted, or haven’t considered yourself a “reader” in years. In this episode, we’ll talk: - How to read more books without reading faster - The daily habits that helped me read 100+ books a year consistently - How to build a daily reading routine that actually sticks - Why reading more books improves focus, reduces stress, and expands perspective - Whether reading 100 books a year is really worth it I also talk about the long-term benefits of reading more — from connecting ideas across disciplines, to improving decision-making, creativity and mental clarity. Whether your goal is to: - Read more books in a year - Build a daily reading habit - Replace scrolling with something more meaningful or simply enjoy reading again this episode will help you rethink what’s possible with reading — and how small habits compound over time. 👋🏽 Hi, I'm Dianne - personal brand coach, consultant and speaker for emerging leaders, executives and entrepreneurs.

    #170. Create a signature colour palette for your visual identity

    Ready to elevate your visual personal brand with a signature colour palette? If you’re serious about building a recognisable, refined and emotionally resonant personal brand or business brand, your colours matter more than you think. So, make sure your inspired branding stands out in style. In this episode, I walk you through how to create a signature colour palette that strengthens recognition, builds trust and elevates your entire visual identity — across your website, LinkedIn, YouTube, social content, wardrobe and even interiors. This isn’t about randomly picking “aesthetic” colours for your personal brand. It’s about designing your visual language with intention. We’ll cover how to: • Use Pinterest to moodboard like a designer (before touching Canva) • Curate and refine your palette inside Canva • Navigating perfect shades and HEX codes • Co-create and refine ideas with ChatGPT as your creative partner • Add emotional resonance to your branding by naming your colours • Soft launch your new visual identity through tiny experiments• Commit and “ship” your brand evolution with confidence. If you’re looking to: – Rebrand your business – Refresh your visual identity – Strengthen brand recognition – Build a cohesive aesthetic across platforms – Use colour psychology strategically – Elevate your professional presence This is your blueprint. Your colour palette is not decoration. It’s a visual identity architecture. When done well, it quietly communicates confidence, clarity and consistency before you ever say a word. If you’re reinventing, refining or stepping into a more elevated chapter of your personal or business brand — this is how you do it intentionally. 👋🏽 Hi, I'm Dianne - personal brand coach, consultant and speaker for emerging leaders, executives and entrepreneurs.

    #165. The quiet luxury of the new rich. Work from home. Work from anywhere

    Is working from home or working from anywhere the ultimate form of quiet luxury — or just another workplace trend? In this episode, we explore how remote work, flexible work and reduced commuting are reshaping not only careers but also mental health, financial wellbeing, and overall life satisfaction. Drawing on research into the mental cost of commuting, the financial burden of daily travel, and the link between time autonomy and happiness, this conversation reframes work-from-home as more than convenience — it's the new quiet luxury. Long commutes are consistently linked to higher stress, lower happiness, reduced leisure time, and increased financial pressure. When you remove or reduce the daily commute, you don’t just gain hours — you reclaim the quiet luxury of energy, focus, and choice. This episode examines why time sovereignty, schedule flexibility, and control over your environment are emerging as modern markers of success and a luxury lifestyle in careers, especially for professionals, leaders, creatives and consultants. We also unpack the idea of quiet luxury at work — a concept rooted in discretion, ease and autonomy rather than performance or status symbols. No hustle culture. No performative productivity. Just quiet luxury that fits your life. If you’re thinking about: - Working from home - Hybrid work models - Work-life balance - Career satisfaction - Personal brand alignment - Designing a more intentional professional life this episode will give you a grounded, research-backed perspective.Quiet luxury isn’t about working less — it’s about working without unnecessary friction and stress. 👋🏽 Hi, I'm Dianne - personal brand coach, consultant and speaker for emerging leaders, executives and entrepreneurs.
