Dionne Smith, Founder DPS Brand Consultancy Ltd

​As a personal coach and business brand consultant, I work with new entrepreneurs and established businesses, to help them learn how to develop themselves, their business and their team into an authentic, influential and powerful brand. ​ Creating a successful brand takes time, but the benefits you and your business receive definitely make the focus and investment you need to get there worthwhile.​ ​ The most important thing is to start from the inside and work outwards. Stay focused on your mission, vision and your values and use them as your foundation to build a consistent, strong and trusted business that always strives to deliver on its brand promise. Having worked for over 25 years in the public and private sector, my experience has taught me that in order to create a successful brand, you need to invest in yourself (and your team) as well as your business. ​ It's also been a personal journey of discovery for me and it hasn't been without it's challenges in pursuit of learning more about myself and having the self-confidence to value myself and everything I have learned. I now use my skills, knowledge and experience to fulfil my passion of helping others to do the same. ​ The reason people work with me is because I care about what matters to them. I'm honest, open and genuine in my approach and I don't try to force people down a route that's not right for them. Your success is relative to you and the determination your have to be successful.
