In this episode, professional organiser Kath Holmes shares insights into her profession, including how she approaches decluttering, the emotional aspects involved, and tips for staying organised.
I imagine you're reading this having never realised that Professional Organiser is a job that actually exists. With only 400 of them in the UK, it's not surprising you may never have heard of them. Made popular by TV shows both here and in the US, professional organising has grown into a legitimate and in-demand profession, with both accreditations and a full-on Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers.

In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Adam chats with Elise Hughes, Personal Stylist from the House of Colour.

Thanks to films and TV, when we picture personal stylists, we picture judgy dismissive types, suggesting expensive one-time outfits, and only available to the rich and famous. But what if instead, working with a personal stylist could make you feel empowered, and help you get the most value out of your clothes?

“When you know what suits you, you can feel confident buying something more expensive, rather than something on sale, because you know it will last for years and you will get the value out of it.”

On this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Adam is joined by Dawn Hardman, a DISC Practitioner, to understand what exactly it is that she does.

When we think of personaility tests, it's easy to think of online quizzes with ridiculous results, but a DISC assessment is anything but that. A DISC assessment undertaken with a licensed DISC Practitioner can be transformative for both individuals and teams. It enhances self-awareness, improves communication, and can lead to better team dynamics. If you’re looking to get a better understanding of how you or your team can work more effectively, undertaking a DISC assessment could be a worthwhile investment.

"Ultimately, everyone wants the same result. They just get it
in a different way, and it's just having that understanding."

In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Adam is joined by Dr Lizzy Bernthal, a renowned speaker, coach and author to discuss resilience.

Resilience is often misunderstood, but crucially important. It's the skill that helps us to endure and overcome the most difficult challenges we face in our lives. But as Lizzy explains, we show resilience everyday, even when we get out of bed when we don't want to.

"Resilience is not just for strong people. When facing adversity, you don’t feel resilient, but you are."
