#106: 5 Ingredients of Your Brand. With Colette Stevenson.

In this episode of Make It Real Trisha talks with Colette Stevenson who is a brand designer and inventor or ‘Postagrid’ - a beautiful approach to Instagram that harnesses impact rather than influence!    Colette takes us on a journey from teaching English in Japan to starting her branding business - and includes her ADHD perspective and the moment she understood how her creativity could be used to explain and engage.   In the podcast you will learn:   The difference between your ‘brand’ and ‘branding’. A human insight into finding yourself through embracing the unknown. The wonders of transferable skills. The 5 ‘V’s to figure out before you settle on your branding. A new approach to Instagram Make It Real is the refreshingly real and really useful podcast for small business owners who are keen to learn from others but deliver with their own stamp and soul.  This show, hosted by the forensic ‘unsquasher’ Trisha Lewis, will equip and inspire listeners to show up and share - with fearless joy.    Described as being like ‘sitting down for a natter and a cuppa with a pal’ - Trisha’s enthusiasm, curiosity and easy on the ears voice will pull you in - and her ability to pick fascinating guests and get the very best out of them - inspiring! There is natural humour and plenty of lightbulb moments that ping in real time.  For more information about this week’s episode, head to https://trishalewis.com/podcast/
