MY STORY
THE GREY CEILING
I’m in my early 30s sitting across from the global Human Resources Director at one of the top global branding firms, and I’m asking why I continue to get passed up for a promotion.
Her response. “You don’t have enough gray hair.”
Translation: I didn’t look old enough.
Apparently, I needed to look a certain age in order to be seen as credible in the eyes of the C-Suite and Fortune 500 executive clients.
In that moment, I learned that perception is everything! No matter how solid my qualifications or credentials, people’s perception of me would matter more.
Several months later, I was fired due to “corporate restructuring.” I was devastated because I loved the opportunity to work on many high-profile corporate accounts such as AT&T, Abbott Nutrition, Intel, Lilly, Motorola, Novo Nordisk, TD Ameritrade, and Xerox.
Then, after a series of other personal life-changing events, including a romantic break-up, I fell into a dark depression and questioned what to do with my life. I went on a spiritual retreat in Sedona, Arizona to “find myself.”
Shortly thereafter, in January 2011, I launched my own branding agency, called Branding For The People, with a vision to brand the companies and people who are truly making an impact in the world.
I’ve helped over 1,000+ CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs of 7, 8 and 9 Figure businesses across various industries, including Professional Services, Personal Development, Leadership, Health and Wellness, Education, Finance, and Tech. In addition, I’ve spoken on stages at several major entrepreneurial and business conferences, and I authored a best-selling book.
So, I believe (grey hair or not), that I’ve earned my chops in the world of branding.
“MARKETING HELPS YOU EAT DURING THE DAY…BRANDING HELPS YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT.”

Keynote Talk:
How To Build An Authentic Brand For Business Growth
Description:
In an era where consumer trust has taken a nosedive across all industries, integrity and authenticity have emerged as what matters most. More than ever before, people are holding brands to a higher standard. The landscape is changing for brands. Here’s the truth: the more authentic your brand, the more attractive your business will be. The more attractive your business, the faster business growth will be.
Keynote Talk:
The Future Of Personal Branding
Description:
In today’s hyper-connected, socially-informed, and media-driven world, the interest of Personal Branding continues to rise among entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and employees. Gone are the days when a polished image was everything. Now “polished” is suspect, stories are scripted, and messaging is spun. Authenticity, vulnerability, and inclusivity are key ingredients for today’s Personal Brand. However, new questions arise as we think about the future of Personal Branding: (1) How can Personal Brands confidently share their message without fear of being “canceled”? (2) How can Personal Brands be visible, while also maintaining a sense of privacy?
