I spent the first 25 years of my career crawling up the ladder in public relations and advertising agencies, despite warning signs, you know, the little whispers and incidents that scream “You are in the wrong job… on the wrong career path… living someone else’s life!” In 2002, after ignoring these whispers and incidents, I finally experienced a series of unfortunate events (two inoperable brain tumors that led to the loss of my job, which led to the loss of my identity by losing my title, which led to the loss of house and everything in it) that led me to where I am today.

All of this had to happen (because I used to be stubborn) to steer me to what I love. What I was born to do. Bringing people brands to life… bringing people to life when they really know their true brand and bring it into their life with intention and authenticity.

In truth, every person already has a “brand.” You’ve been building your brand over time with every word, every action, and every impact you make on other people and in business. The question is, “What happens because of you?” In other words, “What do you want your impact to be?”

I help people understand and leverage their brand – what they are known for and what happens because of that – to get what they desire in work and life. Some people need a brand “refresh.” Some need to take a hard left- or right-hand turn – jump off the track – burn the boat – take a new path. Some need a gigantic mirror put in front of them to see what others experience and to put a bigger light on their greatness. Modesty, as it turns out, is often at the core of our limits – modesty can cost us the dream job and everything that comes with it.

I help people tell their story and understand the impact of their image, their brand voice, and the experience of knowing them or working with them with every action, behavior, and genuine personality quirk. I help people know and leverage their impact and their beautiful, wonderful, awesomeness.
