Sometimes we get stuck.  We’re yearning for something different or trying to make a change, but can’t seem to make it happen.  Events can turn our world upside down.  We might be faced with major personal or professional changes, or significant life transitions.  Deep down, we know progress is possible, but can’t seem to move forward.

We work with people, brands, and businesses to ignite brand new beginnings. We understand how new beginnings can be far from easy:  fear, uncertainty, loyalties can hold us back and we find ourselves repeating the past rather than truly creating the future.  

Our programmes, coaching, consulting and creative conversations make brand new beginnings easy, enjoyable and effective. Together we’ll unlock new possibilities, purpose and progress for you.

We're inviting you to make a brand new beginning.  To appreciate the past, come fully into the present and creatively build your future.

Do you want to make a brand new beginning for yourself, your brand or your business?

Brand New Beginnings: Principles

  • Endings and beginnings are an integral part of life

  • Brand new beginnings are intimately connected to endings; there is no new beginning without an ending, and how well we end significantly influences how well we progress

  • Making a brand new beginning means honouring the past, being fully present in now and exploring how we want to be different in the future

  • Brand new beginnings are created by embracing what is happening now, exploring and generating new possibilities and expanding into a new, more progressive and purposeful space

  • A brand new beginning connects people to what matters most, igniting a greater sense of meaning, purpose and success

  • A brand new beginning becomes manifest in how we behave every day, inspiring growth, energy and progress

Brand New Beginnings: Practice

There are three core stages to every Brand New Beginning:

Embrace
Embracing what is happening now, what is ending and creating positive endings

Explore
Exploring vision, purpose, core values, generating and exploring new possibilities

Expand 
Expanding into these possibilities, creating a compelling future that is manifest every day

Whilst there are three core stages to making a brand new beginning, we adapt our approach to every challenge, ensuring we meet the unique needs and context of each person, brand and business we partner with.

Testimonials

  • “For years I'd been struggling to create a brand and branding language that felt right, Katie helped me articulate my brand in a way that aligns with who I am and where I want to take my business. Because of her help, I'm now enjoying my business more. I HIGHLY recommend working with Katie whenever you get the chance.”

    Carolin, Coach

  • "Katie is a truly wise and compassionate leader and coach. What I appreciate most about working with Katie is her ability to ask great questions and her challenge to consider options beyond the obvious. These natural gifts of hers have given me greater confidence in my own ability to trust my decision making and my path forward. "

    Scott, Entrepreneur

  • "As a 56-year-old woman, I have lived through so many versions of myself. But letting go of one version and living into the next has rarely been easy. Working with Katie is like having a doula to support and help you give birth to your next version joyfully."

    Shari, Global Insights Director

  • "Katie supported me in building our brand framework, intertwining our purpose into all touchpoints. This framework is our golden thread, running through every decision we make and action we take. We now have the ability to effectively communicate this domestically and across all our global markets. Without Katie’s insight, experience and thought-provoking challenges we would have done what we thought was right, but not what was right."

    Claire, Marketing Director

  • "Through working with Katie, I experienced insights, expanded awareness and new ways of seeing things. Her facilitation and coaching include embodied approaches that got me out of my head and into a more embodied experience. Katie’s wisdom, creativity, and intuition make her a powerful coach and facilitator. If you are wanting to shift and grow, you are in good hands with Katie."

    Cindy-Lou, Coach, Facilitator, Author
