I am passionate about personal branding of executives because it is rooted in thought leadership.Â
Thought leadership is the new marketing currency & an integral part of any modern leader's personal and professional development toolbox.
I am an entrepreneur, global speaker, show host & personal branding expert.
My goal: to inspire 1 million people to impact others by standing out, speaking
up, and building radically authentic personal brands.

I was not "supposed" to be an entrepreneur. I was a writer, teacher and thinker destined for academia - but I could not shake the desire to inject the business world with the power of poetics.
I launched this business to work with the smartest, most inspiring individuals I could find. They have inspired me tenfold in the process.
