Did you know there are 4 types of holiday-makers – and they can all (lovingly) drive each other mad?! 😅

I’m writing this from sunny Mallorca… where I definitely shouldn’t be working…

But I couldn’t resist sharing this:

If your summer trip has had a few tense moments… you’re not alone.

Holidays are meant to be relaxing, but with different personalities, budgets, age groups, expectations, and travel stress often all swirling together – it’s no wonder they can feel anything but calm at times!

Here’s a quick “Holiday Survival Guide” based on the 4 colour personality types I use in my Strengths Unlocked system:

Which one sounds most like you?!

🔵 The Planner (Blue)

Wants an itinerary. Asks “What exactly are we doing and when?”

Last-minute changes cause mild panic!

🔴 The Go-Getter (Red)

Wants to do everything! Activity booker, day trip planner, mission to make the most of every minute.

Lie-ins are a waste of time!

🟡 The Socialiser (Yellow)

Wants shared fun. Doesn’t mind what’s happening as long as everyone’s getting along and doing it together, probably makes new friends on every holiday!

FOMO is real!

🟢 The Chiller (Green)

Wants to go with the flow. No plans, no stress. Trusts it’ll all work out.

Rigid schedules, no thanks!

💡So what happens when you mix all four on one trip…?

Yep, exactly! 😅

But it doesn’t have to end in chaos!

Here are my top 3 tips for holiday harmony:

1️⃣ Know your colour – Planner, Go-Getter, Socialiser or Chiller – and share what matters to you on holiday and why.

2️⃣ Understand who you’re travelling with – what might they need to enjoy the trip?

3️⃣ Rotate the ‘lead’ – each person gets a day to set the tone. One day full-on activities, the next totally chilled, the next centred around fun with everyone.

Most importantly – remember the point is to find the moments of calm, connection & celebration - and enjoy it!

Whether you’re abroad or doing a staycation, here’s to making memories, laughing through the bumps, and honouring what helps you recharge.

🌴 Now back to the beach… (or at least trying not to overanalyse the family dynamics at dinner 😂)

Which one are you? And who or what do you enjoy the most or stresses you out the most on holiday?!

How do you speak without notes and remember what you’re going to say?

This is a question I’m often asked, and tonight, I’m putting it to the test… again!

I’m entering the North West regional heat of the “Professional Speaker of the Year” competition this evening with my 8-minute talk:

“Your Mind is a Stallion – The Neuroscience of Self-Leadership in a High-Pressure World.”

No slides.
No prompt cards.
Just me, and a few strips of paper sellotaped around my house! 😄

As I walk from room to room, each wall jogs my memory of the next story, insight or metaphor.

It’s a technique that uses the power of place and movement – and it works!

✨ My brain gets its cues from the tree painted in the hallway.

✨ The clock reminds me of the acronym I’m using.

✨ And the talk ends outside in the garden!!

And if you notice my hair is a “bit done” it’s because it’s curled ready to “drop” but hopefully still be presentable ahead of The Speaker Awards & Summit tomorrow night, in London, where I’ve been shortlisted in the Best TEDx category!! 💫

A massive thank you to my fellow
The Professional Speaking Association
friends and the speaker community for all the love and support – especially
Martina Witter Bsc, PG Dip, MSC who’s competing alongside me tonight and Valerie Jacqueline Ritchie who’s going to capture it on video for me.

💥Let’s gooooo!!! - wish me luck!!💥

“I fear upsetting people, I hate feeling I’ve done something wrong” - is this a fear of yours?

I had a chat about this with the mum of one of my young clients today and we spoke about how:

- a fear of upsetting people or wanting to “people please” can be the natural and beautiful strength of empathy in overdrive.

- there is a difference between be “nice” all the time and wanting to “please everyone”, and knowing that you are a good person and always trying your best.

I’m a recovered people-pleaser myself, are you?!

How did you overcome a fear of upsetting people, or if you haven’t yet, and it’s affecting your life, relationships, career or well-being - feel free to give me a call!

I was so busy learning the steps I forgot to take dancing photos!! 😱

Today was my first Charleston lesson for “Strictly Hospice” on 6th September in aid of Hospice of the Good Shepherd

I’ve been:

✅Swivelling
✅Chasseying
✅Zig-zagging
✅Kicking
✅Doing lifts!!
✅Flying in on a broomstick!

😮😨😅

It’s all getting rather real now - especially even starting to think about costumes and finding a “Glenda the Witch” one as the song I’m dancing to is “Popular” from Wicked!!

🙏If you have any pennies to support my fundraising target for the 🌟INCREDIBLE hospice🌟 I would be BEYOND grateful.

The £££ target worries me even more than the dancing!!

Thanks, Cat xx

I’m all set up for my “Beyond Banter” sessions for the Personal Tutors Conference at City of Wolverhampton College today!

“It’s just banter” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot.

❓When does it cross the line into causing harm, and if we witness that line being crossed, what do we do?

➡️ Have you ever had to deal with a situation like this? What did you say or do?

Today I’m with pastoral staff and I’m sharing practical, trauma-informed tools to confidently tackle tricky topics like:

1) Misogyny, sexual harassment and gendered assumptions

2) How to be a “rising tide that lifts all ships” using knowledge of strengths psychology and my “Strengths Unlocked” approach.

3) The power of re-direction, metaphors and mindset shifts to change thoughts, emotions and behaviour over the longer-term.

Change doesn’t always start with confrontation. Sometimes it starts with a single sentence that lands differently, and changes how someone thinks.

That’s what I’m aiming for!

I’m so grateful to be here - thank you to Larissa Astara Gray for recommending me - and to be part of another college taking meaningful steps towards long-term cultural change.

Ever feel like you’re getting in your own way… but you’re not sure why?

That was exactly the case for a brilliant young man I worked with last week.

At just 21, he had a powerful business idea.

But low self-esteem, lack of motivation, doom-scrolling, emotional eating, and procrastination were stealing his energy, his clarity… and his confidence.

Together, we used my BREAK method to uncover the root cause of his self-doubt — and rewire the self-confidence that had been buried beneath the surface.

But the real game-changer?

🧠 Discovering his strengths.
Not just the ones that make him stand out…
…but the ones that had been tripping him up.

Here are his Top 7:

• Strategic Thinking
• Empathy
• Analytical
• Courage
• Leadership
• Decisiveness
• Influencing

They’re incredible, and brilliant for running his own business…

But…..

🌀 His strengths were in overdrive.

🔹 Courage made him lash out at injustice and had got him in trouble in the past

🔹 Empathy & Leadership meant he fought every battle, to his own detriment

🔹 Decisiveness & Influencing led him to act too fast and feel the fallout later

He wasn’t “not good enough”.
He wasn’t lazy.
He wasn’t unmotivated.

He had just subconsciously become used to using his strengths in a way that protected him… but also sabotaged him.

Now?
He’s learning how to dial his strengths up and down, depending on the situation.

He feels more in control, more grounded, and more like himself than ever before.

✨ That’s the power of understanding your subconscious beliefs and your strengths.

It’s why I use Strengths Unlocked with every client I work with – from age 6 to 76!

Would you like to know the 7 strengths that make you 1 in a billion?

Drop me a message – I’d love to show you!

Do you share some of the strengths of my client?

If so which ones?

I don’t think many people know this… but I’m a military wife. And I wouldn’t be doing what I do today without that part of my story.

This and I’ve been reflecting on how the military lifestyle had shaped everything – my business, my book, my perspective, and my purpose.

📍 My first ever therapy qualification was paid for by the British Army – a relationship therapy role with Relate.

I supported fellow military couples and families across multiple bases, wherever we were posted.

📖 My first book was written during a time I felt anything but “calm and content” – my husband was on the front line, and I was navigating solo parenting, uncertainty, and my own emotions.

So I wrote a book filled with real-life stories of people in similar shoes who didn’t just cope – they “rose like phoenixes”.

🧭 And when we “settled” into “married-unaccompanied” military life (which basically means holding the fort while your partner comes home whenever they can!)…

I couldn’t get a “normal job” – there were too many unknowns, too much unpredictability.

So I built my own!

One of the first things I did was join
West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce and I’ve never left!

💫I evolved from a counsellor to clinical hypnotherapist, speaker, strengths psychology coach and founder of Building Your Confidence Ltd

🌟I’ve learned, cried, juggled, grown, and found a mission that lights me up every single day!🌟

📣So this is a shoutout…

👏To the military.
👏To the chaos that forged my calling.
👏To my fellow military spouses – for the invisible resilience, love and strength you show every single day!

➡️ I’d love to hear from others whose career paths have been shaped by a life you didn’t plan but wouldn’t change?

Has your story taken unexpected turns too?

Happy Armed Forces Week 🇬🇧
With love, gratitude, and deep respect.
