PR with Heart LIVE Workshop with Kat Byles

5 alignment keys to grow your audience and impact for a thriving business and world

This workshop is for creative leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers, healers, therapists, artists and coaches with a desire to do business differently.

  • Become the visible, confident, leader of your business.
  • Create a consistent flow of opportunities you love to serve your audience with your books, products, service, fill your programs and retreats.
  • Create real, authentic relationships with your audience
  • Share your heart’s message and expand your positive impact.
  • Grow into the go-to recognised authority in your field.
  • All aligned with your true nature and purpose

You are done with pushy manipulative marketing that hurts.

Fears of being visible and speaking out.

Posting into a social media algorithm void leaving you deflated questioning your value.

Being burnt by marketing formulas that aren’t a fit for you.

Trying to do it all, spinning your wheels, nervous system overload.

Plateauing, hitting up against an invisible barrier keeping you stuck.

Thankfully there is another way.

During the workshop you will:

  1. Explore PR with Heart and the transformation it makes possible
  2. Learn the 5 alignment keys for a consistent flow of opportunities to meet your audience
  3. Address any self-sabotage around being visible and take the next step

There’s plenty of time for your questions and a special gift to you to grow your successful business.

PR with Heart begins with CONNECTION to your Heart’s wisdom and Source, universal energy.

This is blended with a simple and effective PR structure honed over 30 years bringing you gently into ALIGNMENT with your true nature and purpose, into relationship with the fresh creative emergence and what you are called to create now.

This opens you up to CLARITY, a pathway and flow of PR opportunities natural to YOU. What was previously challenging becomes inevitable.

If you love it you can join the PR with Heart program, so I’ll share a little about that too: https://www.katbyles.com/products/pr-with-heart/

Meet Kat

Kat has worked with global brands and entrepreneurs making a difference for 30 years including Homeless World Cup, Nike, Desmond Tutu, Muhammad & Lonnie Ali, Colin Farrell, Erica Cantona and Lewis Hamilton.

She was the founder of Authentic PR, for businesses with a positive purpose; and global communications director for the Homeless World Cup, positively impacting 250,000 people homeless worldwide and generating over £25 million in media coverage. She was Executive Producer for the documentary film ‘Kicking It’ narrated by Colin Farrell, selected for Sundance Film Festival and sold to US Sports channel ESPN; and the Homeless World Cup feature film with Blueprint Pictures (Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) made for Netflix.

Then she burnt out and followed her heart to Antigua, where an immersion in nature restored her wellness; and then inspired a new way of being in business – True Business.

She has poured this success, love and life force into PR with Heart for creative leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers, healers, artists and coaches to connect to their heart’s wisdom and creativity and grow their audience and impact for a thriving business and world.

What others have experienced.

“My PR plan became the creative, energetic heart of my project. What emerged was surprising, energising, and far larger than I expected. This has given me the courage to do effortlessly what I previously believed would be challenging. I cannot recommend Kat more highly. She is world-class.” – Simon

“When I aligned with my Heart new financial partnerships came knocking at my door, my website traffic went up by 50% and my turnover up by 30%.” – Lynne

“I feel so grateful for exactly where I am. For creating the path of my dreams, the life I want, for being in flow and aligned with my heart’s true purpose. Kat’s wisdom from the PR with Heart course has been so valuable – given me the springboard and motivation for the next phase of The Mindful Kitchen, and I am EXCITED! I can feel the life force running through my veins. So connected with Source and at peace. I feel I have everything I need in this moment.” – Bex

I’ve created my whole PR with Heart plan. Thanks to you I got into Yoga Magazine. You gave me the courage to go for it. Now I have a book review and article in November and a second article in December.” – Sue

“Kat has cleverly produced probably the most enlightening and uplifting PR course ever! I was surprised and delighted by the deep levels it hit and the unexpected outcomes – money flowed in from many different places. Very highly recommended with bells and om”s.” – Helena

What happens to business when you align with Source, Divine Intelligence?

We had a beautiful opening circle for The Divine Plan, and with it the quietly exciting launch of this True Business School, for creatives with heart who want to do business differently.

This month our focus is Divine Inspiration. What business will you create with Divine Inspiration? My experience has been a business in harmony with your True Nature and the Earth. A business that nourishes and brings peace, deep fulfilment and prosperity for ALL. A whole world away from the traditional business I built.

Business without heart and Inspiration

In a traditional business, without heart and inspiration, I was BUSY on trains, planes and in a different office each week as a global communications and PR director. I loved orchestrating, producing, achieving, believing I was making a difference. This hooked perfectly into my need to feel important. It also whipped me up into an over-stimulated frenzy with accompanying anxiety and the  painful emptiness of withdrawal when I slowed down.

Business with heart and inspiration

In my True Business (led by heart and inspiration) my true nature as a pioneer is forefront. My office is outside in the warm, natural beauty of the Caribbean, my business attire a mismatched bikini. As I immerse deeper into my purpose of connection, creativity and community we are birthing a new way of being in business. There is flow and freedom. It can be exhilarating. Mostly it is calm with a healthy sense of curiosity. I’m still a little stunned business can be like this.

What is your Tale of Two Businesses? 

Which one do you choose?

If you’d like to explore come and join us in The Divine Plan for our Live Divine Connection on Tuesday 1 December 2020 at 7.30pm UK. Register here

We will be diving into…

  • The traditional business you create without Divine Inspiration and Heart. What hooks you in and can trigger a move back when vulnerable?
  • Your True Business, the business you create with Divine Inspiration and Heart. What are the key qualities? What delights you about it?
  • Your natural vehicle for receiving Divine Inspiration and your relationship to your Divine Heart’s Wisdom in business.

Then you can choose!

And if you’d love to continue to create your True Business with Heart and Divine Inspiration as a much loved habit stay in The Divine Plan for as long as you like.

It’s £40 per month or register for the annual membership and receive two months free. Take a look and join here (scroll down to ‘Join here’ at the bottom and choose the monthly or annual membership.)

Here’s to The Divine Plan unfolding for your True Business.

Much Love,

Many more women are feeling called to express their true voice. To speak up, stand up for what they believe in.

This can bring up fears and vulnerability as well as the opportunity to break old patterns of keeping quiet to avoid conflict and replacing with courage, learning to be with the discomfort of disagreement and growing your resilience.

We need women’s voices at the table, feminine wisdom opening up new pathways and ways of being. We need women reclaiming the basic human right to speak.

Have a listen to what women in Obama’s cabinet did to ensure their voices were heard – now known as The Shine Theory – which ultimately resulted in more women’s voices at the table.

How can you amplify women’s voices in your business and community?

If you’d like to grow your visibility and voice naturally join us for PR with Heart.

After a five year contribution to Urlings Cricket Club, where my partner Trevor Erskine was VP and Captain, I offer up a few musings on the ups and downs of a village cricket club and what’s needed for there to be a future for cricket in Antigua. 

Trev and I stepped down because the executive want funds donated for Nets and a grassroots program for children to be misused for the Club House build. We can’t support that. Raise more funds to continue the club house build. Don’t abuse the generosity of donors and steal the opportunity to play cricket from children.

We leave Urlings CC with $EC44,000 for Nets and a grassroots program that can run for a couple of years. A deal with Neil Radford to provide professional nets at factory cost and 5 newly trained coaches. Laid out and ready to go, anything less than a thriving grassroots programme is a failure. We watch with interest.

Incredibly more than 500 cricket lovers gave money, love and encouragement to Urlings Cricket Club to raise a total of $EC135,000 EC or £42,000. Children in UK schools sold lollipops at their sports day. Cricket clubs hosted fancy dress parties. England cricket fans bought drinks from the Urlings CC bar at the West Indies Test Match. 140 people attended a dinner with Michael Holding and Andy Roberts spending £24,000 on auction prizes generously donated.

To all of you Trev and I say THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are awesome.

Trust is important. When a person gives money for children to play cricket you use that money for children to play cricket. When you give your word Mr President, keep it. When you give your written word Mr Treasurer, keep it. Walk your Talk. This is even more important in a country with a culture and reputation of corruption.

£42,000 is a lot of money. For that we all want to see kids playing cricket.

Cricket in Antigua, how brilliant you could be. Right now it’s full of old men talking about the glory days. Glorious they were, yes. 50 years ago. Current day facilities are non-existent or derelict. Clubs can barely get a team together and youth development is minimal. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Work with the men and women passionate about cricket NOW. Those on the cricket field with the vision, rolling the pitches, showing up to coach kids in their free time. Support them. Move away the men robbing energy because they want to be the ‘Big Man’. They are destructive. If they were going to contribute anything to grassroots cricket in Antigua, they’d have done it by now. Stop the culture of undermining. Celebrate achievements and learn appreciation. You will create and build this way.

Have some women at the table. There were times at committee meetings when men and Sir’s were outraged that I spoke on behalf of myself and Trevor. ‘Trevor, you can’t be a man and talk for yourself?’ They said. Embarrassing. What century are we in people? Women on the Antigua and Barbuda Cricket Board, Women on the West Indies Cricket Board, Women at the wicket smashing a six in Antigua, where are you? You are long overdue.

Teach competent organisational skills to sports clubs. It takes 18 months to set up a Friendly Society in Antigua, to open a bank account and set up an Exec Committee with a constitution. After all that effort the Treasurer doesn’t have to submit accounts, the Secretary doesn’t have to take minutes, the president can do what he wants,  the Executive Committee can dwindle to 3 people. There is no accountability.

Team with up with UK clubs and form friendships across the water, share ideas build relationships. Send players to the UK for the experience of playing on other surfaces and to broaden perspectives. Receive their players here in Antigua. Build an international community around coaching and leadership.

Work with the football community, unite instead of fight, build bridges not walls. While pitches are shared between football and cricket teams, co-ordinate so the football season finishes in time for the cricket season to begin. So that kids, youth and athletes can play both sports if they want to.

Right now, Urlings CC can just about make a team. This was beginning to change. Trevor nurturing a couple of youngsters onto the team and building the resources for a grassroots programme. Magnify this.

We leave you with few highlights of what was described by ‘The Big Men’ as the ‘Trevor and Kat Show’. Trev, I am so proud to be part of your show. A show all about the love of cricket, dedication to children and youth in Antigua playing cricket. I salute your heart, your vision, your patience and dedication. Put your sunglasses on if you can’t deal with people shining and sharing love.

A few highlights….

Setting up the Friendly Society, Executive Committee, Constitution and Bank Account, 18 month’s learning Antigua’s processes and systems.

The Urlings Cricket Club Emblem designed by George Williams

Trev setting up the Urlings CC Kids Club. Every Friday on the field, races, training, juice and ice, lots of fun, laughter and good times. Seeing two of those kids go on to play in the Urlings CC team.

Lord Taverners kit donation arriving for seniors and kids. Seeing the kids show up to the senior matches proudly wearing their first set of cricket whites, wanting to play.

Organising for Kofi James, Liberta to attend Lansdown Cricket Club, Bath, the club Sir Viv Richards first played at in Somerset. Kofi came back to captain the Leeward Islands. Playing cricket with my nephew and Kofi in Victoria Park and eating ice cream.

Organisng the West Indies Foundation Level Coaching for 14 coaches from Urlings, Jennings, Mahico, Rising Sun. They also received their child protection and First Aid and I remembered it’s the people playing cricket who love cricket that’s where it’s at.

Writing successful grant applications for Jumby Bay Foundation and Sir Andy Roberts Foundation both providing 10,000 EC for the Club House building, a home for training and learning of youth locally.

3 days, should have been 5! at the England v West Indies Test Match running the bar, meeting all the England fans supporting Urlings CC. Their G+T’s got stronger on day 3 drowning their sorrows.

Selling 20 copies of Simon Lister’s book ‘Fire In Babylon’, signed by Sir Andy Roberts to kick off the fundraising campaign, chatting with Simon Lister five years later at the London Fundraiser.

Organising a sold out London Fundraiser with a dear friend Paul Snudden. Michael Holding and Andy Roberts shared their stories and an auction raised £24,000. Michael Holding mentioned Urlings CC on the Sky TV Ashes coverage! Michael also insisted on paying for his ticket for the dinner too. We can all learn from this gentleman’s grace.

Fundraising over EC 134,000 – 90,000 EC towards the club house and EC44,000 towards nets and grassroots kid’s program.

For the Love of Grassroots Cricket, Community and Next Generation.

With all the ups and downs and uncertainty it’s easy to have emotional overwhelm, emotional spikes. And then decision making, focus, creating our business goes skewiff!

Blue Mind Medicine, time out with water, can help reset our nervous system so we can make decisions and create from a calm, connected, serene space.

Wallace J Nichols in his book Blue Mind provides research, stories and evidence explaining why we are happier, healthier and more connected by water.  The blue, red, grey mind concept is a simple way of understanding the contribution of water to our mental health.

Blue Mind – calm, connected, serene, space for grace and inspiration, able to receive

Red Mind – action, decision making, anxiety, pushing, city

Grey Mind – burnt out, disillusioned, indifferent, depressed

Where are you right now?

The antidote to Red and Grey is BLUE – get to the Water.

Where is the nearest water body you can be with or get in?

If there isn’t one, visualise being under a waterfall cleansing any negativity, anything you no longer need away. Take a long bath with epsom salts, stand under your shower for a little bit longer and breathe.

I’m so grateful to the shade of the sea grape tree, dozing whilst listening to the waves and the peace.

Bring your nervous system, your focus, back to your calm, core centre, back to your heart and inspiration to create your business from here, from Source.

Much love, until next week. x x

PS You can listen to the True Business Podcast with Wallace J Nichols for some more Blue Mind inspiration for your business too.

Come with me on a walk – 3 minutes of beauty

And listen to your heart.

When you listen to your heart in business you take a very different path.

A business that leads with your creative spirit, honours your heart and is in harmony with the Earth. A business with connection, compassion and kindness.

My productivity this week has gone out the window. Overwhelm, anxiety and scattered thinking.

My egoic mind wanted to push through, write my book, now you’ve got the time!

My heart invited me to go on a beach walk.

A walk into beauty, calming my mind, soothing my soul.

Returning grounded, peaceful, present.

Come with me into these little blasts of beauty.

Listen to your heart.

What does your heart want to share with you?

This week’s wisdom from the Sea.

Much Love x x

Are you in harmony with the natural cycles of Nature, with your natural rhythms, or do you fight against Nature? Push yourself when you know you actually need to rest and rejuvenate?

True Business reveres Nature – it is sacred, inspiration, power.

The Water Lily has inspired me to close my business at dusk, to rest, to rejuvenate. I can have a bad habit of picking up work in the evening to finish off, send that invoice, edit that chapter. Watching the Lily close reminded me to go to the beach, walk, swim and close for the evening to rest.

This week…

.1. Schedule in time to be with Nature, to receive inspiration and flow.

.2. Close your business at dusk with the setting sun and the Water Lily.

.3. During your day notice the environment around you. Give your thanks to the plants, trees, flowers. 💕🙏🏻💕

Join me for The Antigua Retreat in March or December and Create your True Business from Source. katbyles.com/antigua.

I’d love to invite you to Antigua.

To take the last place on the March True Business Retreat from 16-23 March 2019.

A special time to dive into the sunshine energy and turquoise Caribbean Sea to explore and create the next chapter of your business. To pour pure source inspiration into you and your business.

When you do you have an energy that can sustain you and carry your forwards; an energy that is attractive and opens up opportunities naturally in alignment with your true nature and purpose. This is the pathway of your heart – creativity, love, joy, vitality, fun and freedom, receiving rather than all that blood sweat and tears, leaning in, pushing and struggling we’ve been told business is.

Through the week we connect to your true purpose, your 3 prosperity pillars, your audience, the layers of your heart’s offering to serve your audience, and the financial structure to create confidently. You leave with a solid True business structure and plan aligned with your true purpose, your pathway forwards and a 5 year map that will bring wellness, fulfilment, prosperity and legacy.

We have our creative sessions in the mornings, giving you the afternoons to enjoy the beach, the pool, the sunshine and assimilate all the goodness before a sunset debrief.

There’s yoga, swimming, paddle boarding, beach combing and a very special photo shoot with Yensa Werth, a talented local photographer, designed to unleash your creative spirit, to set it loose to lead in your business. You will love it.

It’s a holiday with lovely women too. We visit lots of beautiful places on the Island, including some favourite beaches, a drive through the rainforest, Sheer Rocks, which was voted one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, English Harbour and Nelsons Dockyard. On your day off your have the option to have a massage, Reiki, go on a boat tour or spend the day reading your book or writing at the beach, whatever you’d like.

It’s £2950 and includes 7 nights luxury accommodation in your own double bedroom with en suite bathroom, breakfast, all transport on the Island including to and from the airport, welcome dinner, Sheer Rocks celebration lunch, Yoga, Paddle boarding, photoshoot and all the creative time with me to design your True Business structure. Amazing amazing value.

Have a look at www.katbyles.com/antigua and give me a shout with any questions. If it is seriously calling you message me and we can do an decision making session together – kat@katbyles.com

Please do feel free to pass this invitation along to any women who come to mind that would love to pour all this goodness in to themselves and their business too.

Until then. See you in the turquoise!

Much love,
Kat x

Peace under a grape seed tree.

Reflecting after a remarkable December True Business Retreat in Antigua.

Creative spirits were set free into newly designed expansive True Business structures – True Business structures designed from our higher natures.

All four women signed up to return next year. WOW.

There are natural, heart-led collaborations emerging between all of us.

We are letting go of old collaboration stories that left us all frazzled, pissed off, burnt out from the lack of mutual reciprocity.

There is simplicity and strength, so much strength in each woman, in each business, in the group, in my business and in the True Business model.

I’m learning that as I connect to source inspiration, show up and serve, letting go of my expectations and any attempts to manipulate and control the outcome is way beyond my imagination.

That I love listening deeply in each moment to what is wanted and needed, choosing to go with the flow, and that the more I relax the better the retreat, the deeper the connection, the more powerful the experience.

All four women loved the delight of connecting to their hearts true purpose and the certainty of success, energy and desire they now feel around their True Business.

They loved too the simple True Business model with its 3 steps of connecting to source, receiving their unique true business blueprint and taking skilful action to bring it to life.

My relaxed flexible focused facilitation style and ability to create tangible end results from the heart, the insights that spring forth from that space for everyone.

That business can be feminine and a vehicle for the full joyful expression of their creativity, make a difference and create legacy – YES!

Antigua, the magic of the island and All the beautiful places we visited, the turquoise sea, butterflies, so many butterflies. The inspiration that pours into us from the Caribbean Sea.

The magical photo shoot with Yensa at Mermaid Gardens. I’d love to share so much more about this one day but for now want to hold the mystery for future women who will immerse in this beauty and liberation.

There is so much goodness from the week that my mind has a job to process it all to understand all the different levels of connection, benefit and impact.

And I noticed my fear rising that success in my business will lead to being publicly wronged, shamed, humiliated, that it’s not safe to win, and that Im ready to let this old limiting story go.

I fell in love even more with my True Business unfolding and with the True Business Model born of inspiration from the turquoise Caribbean Sea, a Business model that has the potential to serve thousands of people to create the businesses they were born to build, to create a new way of doing business that creates wellness and fulfilment and prosperity.

It’s going to be a gift working with these four powerful, smart women with a blend of true purposes that couldn’t be any more perfect to bring our businesses to life over the next five years.

Business doesn’t have to be blood sweat and tears, hard work and burn out. It can be a blend of beauty, truth, relaxation, creativity and joy. It can be so natural to you that it doesn’t feel like work.

Join me for the 16-23 March 2019 Antigua Retreat.Katbyles.com/antigua for more info.

Wellness. Inspiration. Fulfilment.

Set up an Antigua Exploration Session if you’d like to speak, tune into your end result and make your decision.

See you in the turquoise.

Xx

What they say

“The greatest gift from True Business has been simplicity. It has allowed my offerings to emerge and they are all things I never thought I’d be able to do as work. Photography and taking people into Nature feel so obvious as they are part of me. The business I needed to bring to the world has now been allowed to emerge.”

Edward Pike, Spiritual Mentor, Photographer & Writer

“Kat is a powerful, imaginative and intuitive leader with a great capacity to see a vision and make it happen. What sets Kat apart is her heart. She works with passion and exudes creative energy and enthusiasm that is both inspiring and contagious.”

Mel Young, president, Homeless World Cup

“My PR plan became the creative, energetic heart of my project. What emerged was surprising, energising, and far larger than I expected. This has given me the courage to do effortlessly what I previously believed would be challenging. I cannot recommend Kat more highly. She is world-class.”

Simon Haas, author, The Book of Dharma

“Kat’s like a spark plug. You come away ignited.”

Wendy Richmond, founder, Yellow Bicycle PR

“Kat prodded my intuitive thinking into reality. I created a better working space and products and generated more income for my business.”
