The Loud Industry That Taught Me the Power of Quiet
My career started in the high-decibel, neon-lanyard world of meetings and events — a place where charisma often trumps clarity. But even in that noise, I found my groove. I learned that being the quiet one didn’t mean being invisible. In fact, it became my superpower.
I built a six-figure business in an industry fueled by networking and sales — two things I had zero natural skill for. I wasn’t the smartest, the savviest, or the most outgoing. My only real edge?
Was I smarter than the rest of my industry colleagues? Nope, not even close.
Was I more savvy in my sales messaging than my competitors? Sooooo far from it….
Did I have all the answers? Heck no!
The only competitive advantage I had was simple.
I showed up with clarity. With empathy. With genuine intent. And eventually, with a brand voice that helped others feel seen.
What I Know Now
The loudest voice isn’t always the most influential. Sometimes, resonance comes from someone who whispers the right thing at the right time.
Now I channel that philosophy into helping other introverts build brands they’re proud of — without shouting or selling their soul.
I teach strategies that work for people who’d rather poke themselves in the eye with a ring light than record a “Here’s what I ate today” video. Through LinkedIn coaching, personal brand strategy, and story-led content prompts, I’ll help you:
- Get clear on what you stand for (and stand out for)
- Create consistent content without panic-posting
- Attract aligned opportunities — without chasing them down
If you’ve ever felt like you should build a personal brand but didn’t know where to start (or how to do it without cringing)… you’re in the right place.
Let’s amplify your quiet strength.
To your success (and a stress-free content calendar),
