In this episode:

I don’t know about you – but as soon as someone says the word “niche” I want to cringe into a little dark corner of ignorance, poke my fingers in my ears and pretend it’s not important.

If you feel the same – you are in good company. My guest in this episode has actually made this subject a whole lot more palatable for me. I’m not a fan of the word niche…but the concept of narrowing your focus and attention makes a world of sense to me.

In this episode, I talk to Evelyn Starr, who is a US-based marketing consultant and brand expert who has deep and wide experience in helping clients to navigate their world and help them to articulate and commit to what their specialism is.

What you will find in this episode is that Evelyn neatly brings us around to how joyful it would be to not only work out what your specialism is, but how much more joyful your working life could be if that specialism is magically linked to your own ‘why, or your brand’s purpose.

Curious? Come join us.
