My mission is to provide professionals with inspiration and actionable advice so that you can build your personal brand and become a better communicator.
I definitely didn't get here overnight though.
Contrary to popular belief, great speakers are not born. I believe everyone can be a better presenter - you just need to know what works and put some effort in.
I became fascinated by the art of effective communication because for a long time l was petrified of speaking in front of groups and thought that anyone that could do it was amazing.
My fear of speaking cost me career choices - I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering but couldn't see myself managing people on a construction site. I went to law school instead thinking that becoming a lawyer would make me more confident. It didn't! However, through that journey I somehow discovered the world of personal development and realised there were things I could do to change my mindset and learn practical skills to help me become a confident speaker.
Fast forward a few years - now I spend all my time helping other people become better communicators through my books and workshops.

What's more, I realised that success in your career is more that just about presentation skills...
The world of work is changing rapidly and it's hard to keep up - especially if you are just getting started in your career. Letting employers and clients know what you can offer must be prioritised in a very competitive environment. Shaping your Personal Brand - reputation, identity and so much more is crucial.
That's why I have expanded my work to cover career building - getting clear about your Personal Brand, learning skills and setting impactful habits.
