After 10 years in business, Nicole, the owner of Masion Brocante (May-zohn Berh-cont), knows the ins and outs of her product line—but she also knows there's always room for growth. In this coaching session, we dive into pricing strategies, improving margins, and the small but impactful shifts that can lead to big results. Together, we explore how increasing her average order value, expanding into wholesale, and refreshing her social media presence can help her build a more profitable and sustainable business.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that success isn't about overhauling everything at once—it's about making intentional changes. Whether it's refining pricing to improve profitability, focusing on the right products for wholesale, or engaging followers in a more meaningful way, every small shift adds up. Nicole and I also discuss the importance of stepping back and evaluating what's working (and what's not) to make informed decisions for future growth.If you've ever felt stuck or wondered whether you need a big change or just a small tweak, this episode is for you. Join us as we break down real, actionable strategies that can help you optimize your business, increase sales, and create a more sustainable path forward.Resources:Follow Nicole on InstagramCheck out Masion Brocante's website hereInterested in a one-on-one coaching call session with me that will be aired on the podcast?

Have you ever wondered why some individuals in your workplace seem to be targeted with rumors, isolation, or even task manipulation? If so, you're not alone. In today's episode, we delve deep into an issue that's unfortunately widespread yet often swept under the rug – mobbing or workplace bullying.Host Denise Cooper is joined by the highly esteemed Organisational Psychologist, Zoe Fragou. Zoe brings a wealth of knowledge to this important topic, backed by her qualifications which include an MSc in Human Resources Management, a diploma in Business Coaching & Mentorship, and a Certificate in Agile Leadership. In this enlightening conversation, Zoe takes us through a deep dive on the topic of mobbing. Mobbing refers to the targetted act of trying to push someone out of an organization. Most often, this happens because a person thinks differently, they represent a change in the status quo, or they're being targetted for being part of a historically marginalized community. Fragou highlights that mobbing is not a random act but an intentional, damaging strategy often targeted towards individuals bringing changes or diversity to the workplace. She stresses on the need to focus on the harmful actions rather than the underlying motivations. Moreover, Zoe imparts practical strategies to spot and counteract mobbing, emphasizing the significance of respecting personal boundaries and tackling toxic behaviors head-on. Be sure to listen to our first interview with Zoe Fragou, available to listen to here.

When conflicts arise, as they inevitably do, they can be buried, mishandled or left unresolved, marring our experience and performance.In this episode, we delve into an in-depth exploration of the nature of conflict and its role in both our professional and personal lives. We attempt to unpack the complexities and dimensions of conflict, looking at its root causes, its evolution, and its potential to catalyze change and growth. Rather than viewing conflict as an undesirable aspect of our lives that needs to be eradicated, we aim to understand it as an integral part of human relationships that, when handled properly, can lead to innovation, empathy, and collaboration.With Kimberly's expert guidance, this episode will equip you with a fresh perspective and effective tools to transform how you perceive and handle conflict in your personal and professional life.THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWWhat is involved in mediation?
