Biography

British author Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself-everyone else is already taken."

The world of work has never been more competitive. You need to be, too. And I'm here to work with you or your employees to articulate the unique and valuable traits that distinguish you from others--in and outside of work.

Together we will complete a Personal Brand Inventory that documents your peak life experiences; values; accomplishments; strengths and skills; dreams; hobbies; struggles--even quirks--and how these experiences have shaped you. This prepares us to create a Personal Brand Statement (your unique characteristics, and to whom and why they matter) and a Value Proposition (what you uniquely deliver that is of value to your target). These, in turn, help us to incorporate your Personal Brand into your resume, LinkedIn profile, personal biography and so on.

I work primarily with high potential, mid- or senior-level corporate executives and Human Resources or other personnel responsible for talent development. I coach one-on-one as well as in groups, and facilitate personal branding, mentoring and presentation skills workshops. Together we find the path of greatest satisfaction using vetted coaching tools and processes tailored to the individual.

My passion for personal branding and career strategy comes from a love of collaboration and inspiration, and from long-term experience using branding and advertising best practices of Fortune 500 marketers such as AstraZeneca; Colgate; PepsiCo; one of the Big Four accounting firms; Johnson & Johnson, multiple global pharmaceutical firms, and other major corporations.
