About
1. Big-brand expertise applied to personal influence. Before founding The Personal Elevation Lab™, I helped build brands including AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Revlon. I bring that strategic perspective to helping professionals communicate their value and become recognized for their expertise. 2. A message that speaks directly to overlooked talent. I connect with accomplished women who have done the work, earned the credentials, and delivered results—but whose visibility hasn’t caught up with their ability. My sessions help them recognize what needs to change and take ownership of their next move. 3. Practical tools audiences can use immediately. Participants leave with concrete strategies to articulate their value, strengthen their professional reputation, and pursue opportunities with greater intention. Every session connects inspiration to action. 4. Experience with respected organizations. My work has included Microsoft, Duke Energy, Deloitte, and Magellan Healthcare. As a TEDx speaker and author of Undeniably Fierce™: The Personal Elevation Playbook, I bring corporate experience, storytelling, and a clear framework for personal elevation. 5. A connection between individual growth and organizational goals. My topics help organizations develop women who can communicate their contributions, build influence, and position themselves for leadership—making visibility a practical part of talent development.
