I'm so glad you're here

We haven’t met yet, but I’m willing to bet this: you’re brilliant at what you do, and more of the right people should know about it.

Like many of the clients and audiences I support, you’re ready to get visible, build your personal brand, and become a recognized authority in your industry. But with so much conflicting advice out there, it’s easy to feel stuck when you’re ready to put yourself out there in a bigger way.

I’ve seen firsthand how challenging visibility can be, even for highly accomplished women. No matter how experienced or qualified you are, stepping into the spotlight can still feel uncomfortable when your message isn’t clear enough for the right people to act on it.

Meanwhile, you’re watching others land media features, speaking opportunities, and recognition you know you’re capable of too.

That’s why I created the Own Your Lane™ Recognition Roadmap: a strategic personal branding framework designed to help women experts clarify their message, position their expertise, and become known for the work they do best.

As the founder of Brand Leaders and the She's Visible™ movement, I’m passionate about helping women experts and leaders close The Recognition Gap™ and gain the visibility, authority, and opportunities they deserve.

Through my speaking, coaching, books, and podcasts, I help women amplify their authority, grow their influence, and become the ones who get booked, featured, and chosen for their work and ideas.

Because the world needs more women on stages, featured in pages, and earning better wages.

Let’s make it happen together.

When you're ready for bigger opportunities, you can't afford to be unclear, unsure and unknown.

With the mantra of "Put Yourself Out There" to "Own Your Lane. Own Your Future," I empower women in business and audiences to build their visibility, personal brands and thought leadership. This is your moment to put yourself out there and own your lane, make a meaningful impact and income with your brilliance. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Powered by Human Connection

  • With a mantra of "put yourself out there to own your lane and own your future, I'm here to empower, educate and equip 1,00,000,000 professionals (with my books, training, speaking, podcasts, training, media, and more) by December 31, 2034 to become standouts in their industry.
  • Connection, contribution, and community are my top core values. Personal branding, when done right, humanizes our relationships, grows our community, builds trust and relationships and creates lasting change. I believe faith, fun, fulfillment, and financial prosperity are the driving forces that empower us to inspire and support others.
  • I spent my early career in PR and my previous executive level role in a marketing for B2B professional services — legal and property insurance, as well as planning, managing, promoting and hosting large scale industry conferences.
  • I'm a curious extrovert and a 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, running, posting consistently on LinkedIn, or writing my books, I have to constantly set challenges to leave my comfort zone for my growth zone.
  • In 2020, I fulfilled my dream (after years of being stuck) to launch my brand strategy consultancy and Feb. 1 is special for me as my "Founders Day."
  • 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. My daily posting led me to start my LinkedIn personal branding community, The P.Y.O.T. Community, where I empower 1,700+ (and growing) global professionals to "put themselves out there." I also launched a LinkedIn livestream show of my solo podcast, The Business of You. 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" which was born from my second co-hosted podcast, The LinkedIn Branding Show.
  • In 2023, I stepped into my new positioning as TEDx Speaker, Author, Podcaster and Personal Brand Strategist and pivoted from coaching to strategy roadmaps, workshops and speaking. I also rebranded/relaunched my solo podcast, and narrowed my lane to serving women in business. (A dream I started in 2017 and wrote in a journal in September 2019). It feels good to "redirect."
  • After years of guiding experts, leaders, and entrepreneurs to communicate their value and gain visibility, I realized there was a need for a foundational and easy-to-follow framework. This led to the creation of the Own Your Lane,™ Recognition Roadmap, a 4-step system that removes the guesswork from building your personal brand and quickly positions you for next-level opportunities. 
  • On January 1, 2024, with a focus on thought leadership/authority-focused personal branding, I created the Own Your Lane™ framework and announced a book series to teach experts globally to confidently set themselves apart, step into the spotlight, and seize next-level opportunities with my Own Your Lane™ framework and book series. 
  • In 2025, after launching the Own Your Lane™ book series and Position Yourself Planner and serving global clients remotely for five years, I was invited, pitched, and accepted into Co:Lab, a business growth accelerator with Brand Leaders, my PR, brand positioning, messaging and visibility training + events platform to speak, train and work with clients in-person and online across the US and internationally.
  • In October 2025, my advisory launched She's Visible,™ my speaking and training arm that partners with ERGs, organizations and groups to help women leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs be noticed, known, and chosen for their brilliance across their companies and businesses. In 2026, I launched my Start Being Seen™ initiative for my keynote speaking and She's Visible platform.
  • When I'm not speaking, advising, writing or podcasting, you can find me outdoors enjoying warm and sunny Florida and spending time with my husband and three grown children. I'm an animal lover and nature evangelist, walk, work out and dance to 80s music, drink insane amounts of hot tea, and am always on the hunt for unique antiques + mid-century/vintage fashion finds, and gluten-free treats on my travels.
