At the very least, I’m gonna be inspiring. Step into your Big Deal Energy with me on June 23, 3:30 - 6:00 pm. It’s 2.5 hours where you’ll get to forget what the world has told you and really be you.

You’ll walk away with a plan, confidence and group of people cheering you on.

If we want to change things, it’s gonna require a different approach. Integrated + face-to-face + interactive + community + fun. Not doing anything is just not an option for business owners.

If we want to change things, it’s gonna require a different approach. Integrated + face-to-face + interactive + community + fun. Not doing anything is just not an option for business owners.

If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re never gonna get there. Your personal brand is how you get what you want.

It’s how you show up in the world, both online and offline. It’s the consistent thread that runs through everything you do.

For me, that means being unapologetically direct, embracing irreverent humor, and always prioritizing relationships (handwritten notes, giving versus expecting). It means rescuing dogs (okay, maybe hoarding them), advocating for my community, supporting women and never turning down a good happy hour.

What’s yours? How will you be remarkable? Your Big Deal Energy is waiting to be unleashed. It’s time to stop being invisible and start being unforgettable.
