Niche Talks™ - #16 Penny Lee and Manpreet Dhesi

In this episode, we discuss your niche, giving you space and time with Manpreet Dhesi. Manpreet leads with how a family bereavement and a health scare brought home the importance of this. When life happens, how does a niche focus help protect your time? It enables you to be clear about what you need, what you are going to do, and what you are not going to do. Holding your ground through stable and unstable times. Manpreet is a Strategic Communications Consultant and Founder of Studio Dhesi. Communications for a world we are all working to improve. Working with clients who have big ideas. Ideas that are large-scale, radical and innovative. Across government, industry and the private sector. Creating clarity for those big ideas. Making human connections that inspire people to do something different. Delivering real impact and change for the society we live in. Putting people and the planet front of mind in everything she does Studio Dhesi is a certified B Corp, meaning that the whole business has been measured and evaluated for their social and environmental impact. For your niche and big ideas – clarity comes with the bonus of boundaries. Boundaries are not just for work-life balance, but for a better life balance all around. A gentle trigger warning that we discuss grief and mortality, a very personal share from Manpreet that is an open and healthy discussion.

Niche Talks™ - #15 Penny Lee and Nicola Phillips

In this episode we are talking about your niche giving you a voice with Nicola Phillips. When you are able to be authentically yourself with what you do – when you have created your own way – providing you the platform to speak up on issues important to you. Nicola is an Award Winning Chartered Landscape Architect who has grown a people focussed business putting humanity back into her practice. Out from the big glass offices and from behind large pr machines. Nicola’s first bold move was simply calling her practice by her name in a predominantly male dominated industry. Known as the great landscape architect she is, Nicola has got vocal about gender pay gap issues. The response can be surprising when you put yourself out there. Speaking up in your niche. No more hiding and no more apologising. Humans are out there. And bringing your story as part of your niche can be a powerful force for change. Let’s hear what Nicola has to say.

Niche Talks™ - #14 Penny Lee and Ingrid Raphael

In this episode we are talking about celebrating uniqueness with Ingrid Raphael. Finding your niche by recognising your own uniqueness and what you can offer that is beneficial to others. Ingrid works from her boutique skin clinic in North London having niched down from generalist beauty into healing skin care. We discuss getting to learn what you love and the realisation you need to break the rules to be able to do the work how you believe it should be done. Wanting to do things your own way. Questioning if you are doing something purposeful. Something that matters. We talk how the more focussed you become the wider the learnings. As Ingrid says ‘like Alice in Wonderland getting curiouser and curiouser.’ Learning the Ingrid Raphael way. Her energy and belief in not just skin deep but soul deep – we can question, when it comes to your niche – how deep can we go?
