23.01.2022 I can't remember where I found this picture but I LOVE IT! We really need to stop focusing on all the things we don't do right and others do better. Things they have but we don't. We are all imperfectly perfect. Be confident in that. So many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and forgetting who we are. Only when you start to accept Everything that you are ...And are not.. Only then, you will truly be content!

23.01.2022 There is something so beautiful about pursuing what sets your heart alive. It doesn't matter if no-one else gets it. It doesn't matter if it's not a grand fast way to fame. It can be a slow, quiet walk towards the purpose you have been created for. My goal for 2020 is to do more positive behaviour change workshops to empower young adults in schools. If you know a teacher interested please let me know!

23.01.2022 Dear teenage girls, There is No fun in perfection . You are perfect in your imperfections. What advice would you give your teenage self?

23.01.2022 Missing my live workshops so much! Now more than ever I have been reflecting and contemplating on what I want in my life. At any stage of life it's such a good reminder to know when you love what you have, you have everything you need. All we truly need is God, food, water and shelter. The rest is just bonus. All the material things mean ABSOLUTELY nothing! All that matters is the well being of people in your life

22.01.2022 Have you ever felt that you wont ever be good enough no matter what you do? Do you constantly flick through your wardrobe with nothing to wear Do you freeze at the thought of sitting an Interview? ... Is public speaking a real fear? These were all thoughts I had too! Learn how to strategically dress for your body shape. How to confidently speak at an interview Tips and tricks to master public speaking. Transform yourself from the inside out! Ask me how

21.01.2022 Its so so easy to scroll on instagram and think oh I wish I had her life what she does for work is so much better then me why cant I have that? We often hear about peoples struggles previously and how amazing their life is now but no one forgets to tell you that even if they love their job or found their passion there are still bad days. True fact: I still get nervous before every talk and have a mini panic attack about wether the students will like me or not!! Social media has created jealous behaviour over illusions. Some of us are envious of things, relationships and lifestyles that do not actually exist in real life!

21.01.2022 Some food for thought... I absolutely love visiting schools and inspiring young adults! Today these 3 words outside the school really left me reflecting on all the things I do. I can eat all the kale, buy all the things, lift all the weights, take all the trips, throw everything out that doesnt spark joy, work 14 hour days but if I dont GROW IN LOVE and reflect Gods love then I will never find peace or purpose!

21.01.2022 The ultimate dressing formula. Ideal structure to get dressed - it makes things so simple!

20.01.2022 I make all my students accountable for everything that we have spoken about to ensure that they have implemented what weve discussed. Nothing makes me happier seeing the photos and reading the feedback knowing that there has been a positive change

18.01.2022 I use to fake being sick so that I didnt have to deliver a public presentation at school (sorry Mum!), now speaking is my passion! Sometimes our biggest fear leads to our purpose! I love these workshops where I get to empower others to maximise their individuality and be confident! ... Video coming soon on what I think about confidence!! Stay tuned

18.01.2022 Inspired by a girl in grade 6 and her drawing She said: everyone is half happy and half sad. But they just pretend to be full happy. We all need to be more real with our struggles to help those going through something that we have overcome! ...

18.01.2022 Everyone meet Bruno . I must admit I do like dogs but I never understood why Johnny is so obsessed with Bruno . Treating him like his best friend! I was reflecting and thinking about what he does and who he is and here are some reflections . 5 things you can learn from Bruno- 1. BE YOURSELF!!! Bruno doesnt care what other dogs think of him. He dont compare himself to any other dog. He accepts himself. Bruno is unapologetically authentic . Learn to be yourself! It will help... you live a more fulfilling life 2. FORGIVE- if you dont give your dog a treat , if you dont walk them or if you accidentally hurt them they dont hold it against you or keep a record of wrong doings. I always personally struggled with this one. Lets Choose to forgive ourselves and others. Forgive! 3. LIVE IN THE NOW- they play, they nap, they stretch and they sit in the sun . They dont worry dwell on the past or concentrate on the future- they live in the moment. Be mindful and be present. Love each moment. Life is a gift! 4. BE EXCITED- if they have a bad day or they dont get what they want they always greet their lives with excitement and love . Life is so short . Be excited. Woooohooo!!! 5. SHOW KINDNESS & COMPASSION- everyone you meet is going through a struggle that you know nothing about . Everyone! Dogs dont have the right words , they are just there for you. A kind shoulder to lean on. Being there is enough There are so many more lessons we can learn from dogs . Thank you bruno for always being nice to me! In three words Bruno is joyful, passionate and loving!

17.01.2022 I am so glad I quit my office Job and followed my passion. Its not always easy but its totally worth it. Love being able to empower others around me

16.01.2022 Your nose is the right shape. Your skin is the right shade. Your height is perfect . Your hair is the right texture and colour. Fact : Absolutely everything you dislike about your physical appearance is just a thought in your mind. Let that sink in! In the workshops I facilitate I teach girls and women to look at their body with the same set of eyes but see things differently!

15.01.2022 Too many days are spent comparing where we line up to other people we may or may not know. Wishing to be things we aren't . Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses . If only we could all accept everything we are and aren't . The secret to self confidence isn't to stop caring about what people think. Its to ensure your opinion of yourself is more important then anyone else's. I absolutely love being able to positively influence teenagers through my workshops.

14.01.2022 I once applied to study this course myself . Being bullied at school, having low self esteem and fearing public speaking, I still pinch myself that I get to have a direct impact, influencing positive behaviour change! That feeling is better then any title, status or achievement. Thank you girls for being so beautiful! Discussing Wardrobe, Speech and Interview techniques.... valuable content on dressing strategically to suit your personal brand. mixing , matching and co-ordinating your wardrobe. Public speaking skills, voice projection, clarity. Preparing your resume and making a positive lasting first impression! If you have ever thought about personal development. Start here.

13.01.2022 Had the most wonderful time with Isabella discussing her wardrobe and her personal brand. You are never too young to start being self aware and being strategic with your life! We spoke about a clear structure moving forward. I am truly so grateful for every single person I get to meet on my journey. I get the chance to learn something from them myself!!

13.01.2022 This time last year I sat down at dinner with my Mum and clicked Share post to tell the whole world that I took a leap of faith and started my very own small business after I received a government grant to help fund my start up. Before that I was employed by high end people that I admired and inspired me however did not treat me with kindness. I made a bold decision to stop looking at others for inspiration and become my own inspiration!... It was not about making a million dollars, having a million followers or following into the trend of starting a business just because. To me it was about finding inner fulfilment everyday. I realised that my inner talents are what God gave me and what I do with it is my gift back to God! What people dont showcase online is that its hard work. You still doubt. Youre still uncertain and you definitely dont have everything figured out! Our time on earth is limited and I am here to fulfill my purpose in the hope of inspiring those who my follow my journey to do the same! Perfect love casts out fear. I love what I do and fear will not hold me back. I cant believe its already been a year, its just the beginning. What do I do? Find out here: www.catherineayad.com.au

11.01.2022 SO EXCITED to let everyone know that our workshops are coming back!!! Holiday courses running through November, December and January. Due to Covid classes are strictly limited to 10 participants so make sure you secure your spot ASAP!... No better time to improve your self confidence, self esteem and overall health and well-being. I am seriously so excited to have these workshops back face to face!!

10.01.2022 I am super excited to start running the workshops at Suzan Johnston these school holidays!!! Developing your personal brand, self-esteem, confidence and self-awareness for life! Such great reinforcements and reminders as you come out of isolation and back to some normality. These workshops are so close to my heart and I cannot wait to meet everyone very soon!

09.01.2022 They said be the person you needed as a kid this has honestly made me the person I am today! Blessed to be mentioned in an article about finishing schools. Enjoy reading! https://mobile.abc.net.au//how-to-eat-a-banana-a/10553942

09.01.2022 I absolutely love that I get to influence people positively through what I do. Im OBSESSED with women and their wardrobes. Not because I love fashion, but because I love helping others feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. Using clothes as a tool to achieve this.

09.01.2022 This feedback is priceless!!! I LOVE the Womens image development workshop at Suzan Johnston Australia where I get to empower women to use clothes to maximise their individuality! If getting dressed has become a chore for you get In touch

08.01.2022 As a Positive behaviour change facilitator I have the privilege of meeting a lot of people and hearing so many inspiring stories. I never take that for granted. Ever. I don't always get the opportunity to know whether or not those people have implemented a change in their lives or if it has truly helped them. When I receive an email like this my heart literally bursts with happiness knowing what I do actually makes a difference. Its a reminder that not everyone will give you validation or acknowledge what you're doing but that's ok! If you truly believe in yourself and love what you do, know that is making a positive change! I am constantly thanking God for what I get to do.

07.01.2022 When I run these workshops I always remember how I thought when I was a teenage girl . The things I cared about. The people I spent my time with and the habits I built. The work I do is so close to my heart! I dont teach these girls to be pretty on the outside. I remind them how beautiful they are already on the inside! Change happens from the inside out!! ... Our stories are all so unique and not worthy for comparison. ACCEPTANCE is our secret weapon! workshops include : Deportment, Posture and Body Language Speech enhancement, communication skills, wardrobe styling , health and emotional wellbeing and interview techniques. Want to find out more? Get in touch with me!

07.01.2022 What does CONFIDENCE mean to YOU? This is what confidence means to me.... (sound on!) I love facilitating these empowering workshops

07.01.2022 My one piece of advice I wish I gave to my younger self and remember constantly is this: be comfortable and content with everything you have NOW!! So many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we arent. Every single person will have strengths and weaknesses , things they are more passionate about then others, likes and dislikes, things they can afford and other things they cant. Nothing eventually ever Falls into place life is a roller coaster every single day! Having my wisdom teeth removed recently and spending almost a week at home reflecting, sometimes even the simplest tasks we take for granted. You never realise how important the functionality of your mouth is until you cant chew!! Love your life that God gave YOU!

06.01.2022 To all my ladies, happy International women's day!!! There is so much to celebrate Today!... All the ladies that push boundaries and believe in yourselves, thank you! All the ladies who build strong business whilst raising a family and juggling so many roles at once, thank you! All the ladies who stand tall and use your voice to make positive behaviour change, thank you! All the ladies who are kind, courageous, witty, determined and strong , thank you! All the ladies that feel like breaking down on the inside yet wake up every morning and remain brave and fearless, thank you! Our generation is in need of some you now more than ever!!!! You are paving the way and your actions are influential so much more then you know! Thank you thank you thank you!

05.01.2022 Meet John. Meet Claire. After a few flight disruptions, I was on an emotional rollercoaster I met John and he gave me words of wisdom Never lose your temper or you will lose the battle ... he was so kind to me and he helped me and said , my daughter is almost your age and I hope that someday someone will help her. I say next to such a beautiful soul, Claire we spoke , laughed and exchanged stories I learnt from her that even when life seems so far away from what you planed , it always works out! Turns out she also did a course at Suzan Johnston when she was younger. Point: No one is a stranger, just friends we havent met yet!

05.01.2022 like most people I was constantly scared of Public speaking, putting my hand up to answer questions was daunting and hearing my own voice on camera made me cringe! I was paralysed with thoughts of what others are thinking of me and it made me sick. It didn't seem like my life changed, everyday seemed the same but years went by and I look back now and see how absolutely everything has changed! One day you will share your story of how you have overcome what you are going throu...gh right now and the most powerful, beautiful thing is that it will become part of someone else's survival guide! I get to share parts of my story constantly knowing it's empowering others in their life. Thank you God

05.01.2022 We can go to any Personal development workshop and Amen every point but if we dont apply it in our lives, nothing will change. Inspiration without implementation will never get you transformation! I love to keep my ladies accountable to make sure they actually apply what we speak about!

04.01.2022 I am constantly reading and hearing wonderful stories and examples of how those that I meet use what we discuss and how much it positively impacts their life. I've also had lots of instances where I receive negative comments and people saying what i do is very "surface" and has no meaning. I absolutely love what I do but I also understand that not everyone will get it and I am constantly learning that is OK! not everyone is going to be a doctor or a lawyer. we all pursue di...fferent paths and that's what makes the world a beautiful place. I absolutely love what I do but I also understand that not everyone will get it and I am constantly learning that is OK! not everyone is going to be a doctor or a lawyer. we all pursue different paths and thats what makes the world a beautiful place.

03.01.2022 In every workshop I deliver i remember this: they may forget what I say but they will never forget how I made them feel!! I am so blessed to be able to influence little minds and help them find their inner confidence to tackle anything that comes their way

03.01.2022 Womens image development workshop is one of my favourites to facilitate. We spent a whole day speaking about their wardrobes, speech and communication. The workshops are tailored to each individuals needs to ensure they get the most out of it.... Ladies, thank you!!! I had such a fun day

02.01.2022 There are times where people tell me I am so confident but I still get anxiety. There are times where people tell me I look so healthy but I have been eating junk food. There are times where people tell me I look so happy but Im feeling sad inside... There are times where people tell me I look Great but I feel ugly. No matter how many followers they have, what status they have, how much money they earn . Remember that we are all wired so similar and that every single person you meet is dealing with their own struggles so please JUST BE KIND!

02.01.2022 Ive been hearing so much side conversations from students at schools that I have been presenting at and here are a few suggestions that I would LOVE to spread (they might work for adults too!).... STOP scrolling on social media the minute you wake up! Stop deleting posts because they dont have enough likes... Stop trying to be someone you are not Stop comparing yourself to her, you are so beautiful! Stop believing that social media acceptance determines your self worth Stop feeling bad about your body and hating your skin Stop overthinking every little scenario Stop talking, Listen But please do NOT ever stop believing in yourself!

02.01.2022 https://vimeo.com/242005191 A year ago today! So blessed . I cant put it into words
