I’m a passionate global keynote speaker, 50x award-winning marketing/PR expert, DEI pioneer, and trailblazing entrepreneur. I'm also a Fast Company Executive Board Member.I pinch myself every day that with my work:1) I serve as expert counsel to the marketing industry’s foremost leaders.2) I teach people how to think like a powerhouse brand so they can gain unstoppable self-belief. This makes them better innovators, better leaders, and better business developers. After all, have you ever met a brand with low self-esteem? No! You bet on your employees to succeed at work every day. Shouldn't they fully bet on themselves too?In addition, I’m a proud daughter of immigrants, and a woman of colour who has broken many glass ceilings. I’ve been described as a pioneer in diversity, equity and inclusion work for two decades, and I want to keep breaking new ground in this work.I’m a businesswoman who is “mom-ing” and “business-ing” on my own terms (hence my company name: The Art of Life-ing). I hope to learn more about your work, your why, and your passions too.
