In 2018, I made a big decision. After 16 + years in financial planning, I decided it was time for a change - not because I had the next big thing lined up, but because I felt a deeper calling. 

I wanted to create something that was truly mine, something that could make a real difference. 

So, I sold my financial planning business and took a leap into the unknown.

My journey began with a podcast. The goal? To inspire and educate, to touch lives in a meaningful way. It was a new chapter, one that brought me to LinkedIn to share my thoughts and connect with others. Little did I know, a simple video post in April 2018 would turn everything upside down. 

Suddenly, companies big and small were reaching out, drawn to the unique blend of my corporate background and this fresh, authentic approach I was taking on LinkedIn.

It was a lightbulb moment. The corporate world was hungry for genuine connection, for personal branding that resonated on a human level. 

So, I founded a new venture focused on just that. Helping leaders and entrepreneurs across the globe build powerful personal brands on LinkedIn became my new mission.

Fast forward to today, I've had the privilege of hosting the most successful entrepreneurs on my podcast, speaking at events worldwide, and most importantly, guiding others to find their purpose and voice online.

If you're looking to elevate your personal brand in an elegant and sophisticated way, a personal brand that's both authentic and impactful, send me a DM. 

I'm here to share what I've learned and to help you elevate your personal brand on LinkedIn.

CEO & Founder

WHAT I DO: I help entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs & C-Suite executives converge their emotional intelligence with their social presence so that they can become “Thought Leaders” in their niche and ultimately create a lasting impact on people’s lives.

WHY I DO THIS:  I am determined to help people find that inner “greatness”. We all have this “greatness” inside of us. Not only do I help my clients find their greatness, I help them reconnect with their “why” so that they can speak through their PURPOSE. 

YOUR existence matters and YOUR message matters. 

WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE:  The reason why I have been so successful is because I am focusing on my own “greatness” as well as leveraging my “natural gifts” which include communication, education, inspiration and impact. 

THE RESULTS:  As a result, I have grown my network from 500 to 25,000 + in < 3 months, with 2 Million + views on my content, with organic reach, an engaged community (who are advocates of my mission) but most importantly have resulted in quality in-bound leads into my business that has helped my business grown exponentially.

The internet is gaslighting people into thinking their career isn't valuable.

Because we've started using visibility as proof of value.

Big following? Must be successful.
Viral post? Must be credible.

And behind the screens, good people with solid careers start doubting work that already feeds families, builds companies, and solves real problems.

I had a conversation with someone recently.

He kept saying he wanted to "be the person" people ask for advice.
To solve problems.
To be known for something.

Meanwhile… he already is all of those things.

He builds systems.
That's how his brain works.
That's why he's highly paid.
That's why people rely on him.

But social media had him thinking he needed to change paths.
That his work isn't good enough.
That it isn’t visible enough.
That he should do what everyone else is doing.

And I said to him:

"Why are you trying to abandon the thing you're already great at… just because it's not currently glorified in the way you want it to?"

Of course, change careers if you genuinely want to.
But don't do it because social media keeps elevating the same visible paths:
Coaching. Podcasting. Quote graphics. Lifestyle content.

Some of the most valuable work in the world is quiet.
And a lot of "visible success" isn't even real.

Sometimes we don't need a new identity.
We need a clearer relationship with our own value.

So tell me...
What's the thing you're already great at that you've been tempted to walk away from because of what you see online?

This is how I am preparing for 2026.

Me, my co-founder, and our Head of Operations are in Malaysia for 3 weeks.

Not a vacation. A working retreat.

Why Malaysia?

→ Great standard of living. 
→ Fast internet.
→ Affordable. 
→ Peaceful. 

But the real reason? 
Distance creates focus.

How We're Structuring It:

In the Morning, we protect 4 hour block for the needle movers, priorities, systems, and bottlenecks.

In the Afternoon, we're working on content.
We are making our audience one of our biggest proofs.

In the evening, Reflection. What worked. What's next. 

I would say, if you’re a founder, pick a place, get together with your core team at the end or start of the year and lock in for 2-4 weeks.

Review the last year
→ Find the bottlenecks
→ Find what you need to avoid
→ Find the patterns you need to double down on
→ Then build a one-year vision plan for your company and work towards that.

Remote is powerful. But nothing beats being in the same room when you're building the foundations.

There's something special about aligned work, when the right people focus on the right things at the right time.

Life is easy when you have systems in it.

We're building ours now. So when we get back, the business runs smoother, faster, and with less stress.

Have you ever done a working retreat with your team or co-founder? How did it change your business?

P.S. - I Flew 6,000 miles to stare at spreadsheets, slides and boards. Worth it.

10 truths I wish someone told me 2 years ago.

1. If you want trust, create unfiltered video content.
2. If you want productivity, protect your mornings.
3. If you want clarity, build metrics dashboards.
4. If you want authority, teach what you know.
5. If you want profit, operate with integrity.
6. If you want momentum, done > perfect.
7. If you want leverage, hire values first.
8. If you want speed, batch your work.
9. If you want retention, overdeliver.
10.If you want peace, build systems.

Most founders will read this and do nothing. Don't be most founders.

→ Save this & Pick 3. 
→ Track them for 30 days. 
→ Your business will thank you.

P.S. - My Flight delayed due to snow in Amsterdam. But I'm still working, because systems don't care about weather. Build them right and your business moves even when you can't. 😁

I don't usually record like this. 

But these lines needed to be said differently. 

→ Raw 
→ Direct 
→ No filter

The truths that change your life are the same ones that change your business.

Listen to them in the video...
