Personal Branding, PR and Thought Leadership for Women Leaders & Founders - Speaker, Author, Advisor, Podcaster & Community Builder


It's Time to Elevate Your Professional Visibility and Build Industry Influence

Hi, I'm Michelle, aka "The Brand Therapist,℠" a certified personal brand and PR strategist, speaker, and author whose mission is to empower you to "put yourself out there to make your unique mark on the world."

Through my "Powerfully Position Yourself™" initiative at Standout Women,™ I speak, train, and advise women leaders and founders to recognize their value, boost visibility, and confidently stand out in their fields to seize more opportunities with thought leadership-focused personal branding and PR opportunities.

With two decades in B2B communications, executive marketing roles, and a master's degree in PR, I know first-hand the power of visibility, branding and thought leadership to gain more recognition, establish your authority, and reach your personal and professional goals.

When you're ready for bigger opportunities you can't afford to be unclear and invisible. It's your moment to shine. Let's get you visible for more impact, influence, and industry advantage. I'm here to support you all the way.

Let's go,

MIKE PERKINS
FOUNDER FRONTLINE HR SOLUTIONS

She consolidated and simplified my marketing messaging.

I was frustrated and concerned that I was not effectively marketing my services. Michelle helped me better define my messaging and offerings. She is a pleasure to work with, has a lot of great ideas, and utilizes a marketing development method that's helped me attract more referrals.

JARED AMARAL
FOUNDER, CHIEF DATA SOLUTIONS

She challenged me to be specific about my ideal client avatars and to communicate my offerings in straightforward, compelling ways.

Michelle's guidance was instrumental in helping me organize and focus the marketing chaos in my mind. If you're a corporate professional turned consultant or entrepreneur needing help, Michelle will steer you in the right direction.

SCARLETTE ACEVEDO
MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR, PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH PROMOTION EXPERT

Michelle is an expert when it comes to personal branding.

After contacting 25 LinkedIn coaches and was fooled by a few, I found her and have been working with her for a few months now. She's helped me bring my uniqueness out and has honored my true self. I wanted to find an expert and she was completely worth the wait.


More About Me...



  • My mantra is #PYOT ("put yourself out there") to help 1,000,000 women experts become visible and visionary authorities in the next 10 years and do big things + change lives with their knowledge and ideas.
  • Connection, empowerment, and community are my top core values, and why I believe personal branding, when done right, humanizes our relationships, grows our community, creates lasting change, and builds our businesses.
  • I spent my early career in PR and my previous role in a executive marketing in B2B professional services.
  • I'm a curious extrovert and constant learner as an Enneagram 2 and ENFJ. My Top 5 Clifton Strengths are: 1. Empathy; 2. Ideation; 3. Input; 4. Developer and 5. Connectedness
  • I'm all about a challenge. From exercise, eating healthy or even posting consistently on LinkedIn, I have to constantly set challenges to leave my comfort zone for my growth zone.
  • In 2021, I challenged myself to post every.single.day. on LinkedIn. It was a (crazy?) idea but I did it, with 532 posts to my name. Definitely a #PYOT year.
  • In 2022, I fulfilled a "bucket list" dream and authored my first book, The LinkedIn Branding Book with my LinkedIn "partner in brand."
  • I'm now working on my second book on my powered by Brand GPS, my 7-step personal positioning and visibility system for building, marketing and publicizing your personal brand.
  • My daily posting led me to start my LinkedIn personal branding community, The #365 Creators, where I empower 1,600+ (and growing) global professionals to "put themselves out there." It's free, join us!
  • Outside of work you can find me enjoying warm and sunny Florida with my husband and three children. I'm an animal lover and nature evangelist, drink insane amounts of hot tea and am always on the hunt for vintage/mid-century finds and gluten-free treats on my travels.
