“People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do proves what you believe.” In this episode of the Books Made Me Do It podcast, Catherine shares with us how to communicate and adapt your mindset to inspire others, which she learned from Start With Why, written by Simon Sinek, author and inspirational speaker. He introduces the idea that great leaders inspire others by putting the Why (the purpose) before the How (the process) or the What (the product). By WHY, Sinek means what your purpose, cause or belief is? WHY does your company exist? WHY do you get out of bed every morning? And WHY should anyone care? Knowing WHY is essential for lasting success and the ability to avoid being lumped in with others. In this episode, Catherine will guide you through the process of understanding how to define your WHY. Are you ready to communicate like a leader, gain clarity on your WHY and inspire others to take action? ------------ For more tips on marketing, business and personal branding: ➡️ Follow our host Catherine Paquette on Instagram (@heyitscathp) ➡️ Visit Catherine's website: https://catherinepaquette.com/

“Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation.” In this episode of the Books Made Me Do It podcast, Catherine shares how to create an irresistible brand with sensory marketing through the lessons she learnt from Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul, written by Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, one of the first books she read about branding. In this ever-changing society, the most powerful and enduring brands are built from the heart. According to the author, at the very heart of being a merchant is a desire to tell a story by making sensory, emotional connections. Catherine discusses how companies that last are those that are authentic and put their customers at the heart of what they do. Are you ready to learn how to elevate your clients' experiences?

“We're capable of so much more than we realize. Most of us know precious little about what makes it possible to achieve and sustain excellence, especially as the volume and complexity of demand in our lives rise relentlessly.” - The Way We're Working Isn't Working In this episode of the Books Made Me Do It podcast, Catherine sits down with Ashley Werhun, CEO and Co-Founder of Mentorly.co., a cloud-based mentorship solution for businesses, schools, and organizations looking to invest in their people. Ashley chose to discuss the book "The Way We're Working Isn't Working" written by Tony Schwartz, a book she first read as a professional ballerina. At the time, it resonated with her in relation to high-level physical performance. Now, as CEO of her own company, the book has taken on a totally different meaning. This book introduces the idea that our ethic of “more, bigger, faster” is failing us, and undermining our energy, focus, creativity, and passion. As Tony Schwartz puts it, “we find ourselves in an energy crisis.” Catherine and Ashley share actionable tips and strategies to help you transform the way you work and live, and to manage the relentlessly rising demands we all face in an increasingly complex world. Are you ready to uncover why some things in your professional life aren't working, and what you can do to fix them!?

A true boss knows their worth, wants him, herself and others to succeed, and does whatever it takes to make it happen.” Catherine and Alicia share actionable steps and goal setting methods for anyone who wants to create success and live a life they're proud of.

“Don't get distracted by areas where you can't be the best. Focus. Evaluate your process and have the discipline to remove the activities or efforts that aren't getting you closer to achieving your goals.” - Good to Great Have you ever wondered how good can become great? Is it a random chance, or is there some common thread among the individuals or companies that were able to make the leap from good to great? These are some of the questions we'll be exploring in today's episode, as we discuss Good to Great: How some companies make the leap and others don't, a best-selling book written by Stanford professor Jim Collins.
