Viveca Hess, J.D.

LinkedIn positioning gets you 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻.
AI readiness gets you 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 when the attention shows up.
 
And yes…they’re wildly connected.
 
Because what’s the point of a gorgeous LinkedIn presence if:
 
• your team is reinventing the wheel every Monday
• your “process” lives in someone’s head (and they’re on PTO)
• your people are using Shadow AI like it’s a secret snack drawer
• your competitors are quietly getting faster while you’re still debating 
  “Should we?”
 
Here’s the parallel most leaders miss:
 
𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿.  𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻.
 
Front door matters. (Hello, first impressions.)  But if people walk in and the kitchen is on fire…we’ve got a different - not good - kind of “hot lead.” 🔥
 
𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙄𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚:
 
I help you look like the person people 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to hire, refer, invite, and trust.
 
• Profile optimization (headline, About, positioning, proof)
• Content strategy (what to say, how to say it, so it doesn’t sound like a beige corporate memo)
• Content creation + management (consistent, sharp, aligned with business goals)
 
𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙄 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚:
 
I help you operate like the leader people 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 you to be once they find you.
 
An AI Assessment isn’t “let’s sprinkle ChatGPT on it.”
 
It’s:
 
• how work actually flows today (not the version in the SOP folder from 2019)
• where time leaks, bottlenecks, and handoffs are slowing delivery
• where AI can support speed + quality without turning your risk profile into a haunted house
• what policies, training, and guardrails need to exist so your team can use AI confidently
 
Why this combo matters (and why it’s rare)
 
Most people can help you with visibility 𝗼𝗿 operations.
 
But the advantage is when they work together:
 
𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 + 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 = 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀.
 
LinkedIn builds trust and demand.  AI readiness builds capacity and consistency.
 
One gets the right people to the table.  The other makes sure you can serve them without chaos, burnout, or “we’ll circle back in Q4.”
 
So yes, I still do LinkedIn.  And now I also help leaders answer the bigger question:
 
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻, 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲…𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁?
 
If you’re a leader, partner, or exec:  What’s your bigger pain right now - 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 or 𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆?

Former lawyer leveraging LinkedIn™ for lawyers to gain quality referral relations and connect with qualified clients efficiently ~ (when I’m not ocean swimming).

AI is writing beautiful “strategy” in organizations right now…and leadership is mistaking it for direction.
 
𝘼𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙚. 𝙄𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙.
 
And yet…I keep watching smart leaders hand it the keys like it’s been to a single leadership meeting, understands their org chart, and knows what “acceptable risk” means.
 
Spoiler: it doesn’t.  It’s just 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵.
 
Here’s what I’m seeing inside firms + organizations right now:
 
• People are already using AI (quietly ➛ what we now call "𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘐"  )
  
• Leadership is “exploring” AI (publicly)
  
• Policies are…somewhere between “draft” and “we’ll deal with it later”
  
• Everyone is buying tools before anyone agrees on the actual problem
 
This carousel breaks down what AI can do brilliantly (with right guidance)…
and what it absolutely cannot do (no matter how persuasive the paragraph).
 
If you’re a partner, executive, or leader trying to modernize without turning your operation into a shiny, expensive science experiment:
 
𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙥.  𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨.
 
What’s one task you’d 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 to stop doing every week?

AI Summarizes, You Lead

There’s “big consulting insight” and
 There’s “here are five shiny prompts, good luck out there.”

One is expansive and useful. The other is basically a fortune cookie with a keyboard.

Even McKinsey is saying the quiet part out loud: “Clients are tackling the complexity of moving from siloed experimentation to real impact,” (Ben Ellencweig, a Senior Partner who leads alliances, acquisitions and partnerships globally for QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey.)

𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨.

Because prompts don’t fix:
• messy data
• broken handoffs
• unclear decision rights
• misaligned stakeholders
• workflows that live in Sharon’s head (and Sharon is taking PTO)

And here’s the stat that should make every leader sit up straighter:
McKinsey reports 𝟲𝟮% of organizations are experimenting with AI agents, but only 𝟮𝟯% say they’re scaling an agentic system anywhere in the enterprise. 

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙖𝙥 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 “𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜” 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚.
𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 + 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚.

McKinsey-style insight can be powerful when it leads to real decisions, real prioritization, and real execution.

But “prompt packs” without a foundation? (Yep, they're everywhere...)
That’s just giving a toddler a power tool and calling it innovation.

If you want AI to drive growth, reduce friction, and create real competitive advantage, the conversation has to move past “cool outputs” and into 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨.

If that’s where you’re headed, I’m open to a thoughtful, low-pressure conversation to see what would actually be most useful for your stakeholders and your business.

(And if your current AI plan is...
“Step 1: prompts ➛ Step 2: ??? ➛ Step 3: transformation"?
We should probably talk before Sharon comes back from PTO to find her job replaced by a Google Doc.) 😱

Positioning Women Experts Into Visible Authorities┃Personal Brand, PR & Thought Leadership Strategist & Coach to Own Your Lane With More Visibility, Impact & Income┃Author┃Speaker┃80s Music Fan┃Own Your Lane™ Book 10/15

Hi, I’m Michelle. I transform hidden experts into visible authorities and so glad you’re here. 

If you've ever struggled to explain what you do, felt overlooked despite your expertise, or missed opportunities you knew you were perfect for, you're not alone—and you're in the right place.

After seeing brilliant experts stay invisible because they believed their work would speak for itself, I created the Own Your Lane™ Recognition Roadmap to help you become the go-to authority in your field.

THE OWN YOUR LANE™ SYSTEM

L – Launch Your Vision (Purpose)
A – Assert Your Difference (Position)
N – Navigate Your Brand (Package)
E – Elevate Your Authority (Promote)

OWN YOUR LANE. OWN YOUR FUTURE.
My mission is to position you for success. I speak, train, and advise experts and leaders—especially women in business—who are ready to be seen, heard, and sought-after. Together, we chart your one-page personal branding roadmap to give you the clarity, confidence, communication and competitive edge for business growth. 

Why this matters: You stop comparing yourself to everyone else. You gain the positioning, words and strategy to know who you are, what makes you different and a repeatable way to talk about what you do — in person, online, in meetings — anywhere decisions are made.

My clients have gone from “one of many” to “the one” -- booked on TEDx & industry stages, featured in top media, published best-selling books & effortlessly growing thought leadership on their terms. 

Now it’s your turn…
