Born to Mentor

I have always loved my work helping global companies uncover insights about their brands and translating those insights into successful business outcomes.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than teaching and mentoring my students. What happens in class – helping them understand and apply the fundamentals of branding in the business world – is just the start. What’s almost more rewarding is how so many students approach me to help them hone career goals and discover their own personal brands.

The magic is not simply in helping them create cover letters and resumes. It starts earlier, as I bring them through a soul-searching process that captures the unique essence of what they stand for and who they are. With the detailed portrait of identity and purpose that follows, students create clearly compelling and differentiating communications that get the attention of those doing the hiring.

I am so pleased to offer this service beyond my engagement as a professor. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been working for years, I look forward working with you to create the comprehensive, one-of-a-kind, personal brand identity that will provide the foundation for your success. Not only in getting the job you want – but in providing the self-awareness and people skills you’ll need to excel in it.
