Most professionals don't need more motivation. They need clarity. They need frameworks that work. They need to see themselves in stories and feel like “yes, this is for someone like me.” That’s exactly why I wrote Unforgettable Presence. I didn't want to create another vague guide about “being more confident” or “commanding the room.” I wanted to give people actual tools — clear language, real-world examples, and practical strategies they could use immediately. Here are a few of the messages...

Earlier this month, I gave a talk on Unforgettable Presence to thousands of Amazonians (aka Amazon employees :) — and I haven’t stopped thinking about the feedback I received. It reminded me why I do this work. I want people to walk away with real tools, a sense of clarity, and the confidence to grow their career in a way that feels true to who they are. From quiet power to frameworks that stick, it’s incredibly affirming to hear how Unforgettable Presence is landing in rooms that matter....

Did you know there are FOUR generations currently in the workplace? I recently moderated Robert Half’s Real Talk series on one of today’s biggest (and most interesting!) workplace topics: leading across a multigenerational workforce. We talked about a ton of topics you won't want to miss, from rethinking succession planning and why career ladders aren’t the only path to growth anymore, to reframing generational “stereotypes” into generational norms so everyone can lean into their strengths....

I’m so excited... because my SXSW session idea is officially live! 🥳 And I need YOUR help! Over the last few years, I’ve met so many incredible women building things—businesses, podcasts, communities, content. But too often, we’re building alone. This meetup is a space where you do belong. It’s called: You Can Sit With Us: Female Founders & Creators Meetup. But here’s the thing: SXSW picks sessions based on public voting. So if you want to see this kind of room exist at the conference, I’d...

This Made My Entire Week! 💙 I was scrolling LinkedIn last week when I saw this post from Jimmy, who bought 25 copies of Unforgettable Presence to give away to his community. His reason? Jimmy said, “This isn't just another career book. It's a guide for professionals who know that being great at your job isn't enough anymore.” As a fellow introvert, Jimmy said the book speaks to him and he couldn't wait to share it with others.
