Books & Speaking
Presence is a business asset. It can be learned.
My books and talks come from the same work as my portraits: helping capable people be read correctly by the rooms that decide their next opportunity.
The Book
Superwoman Smarts
Activating Leadership, Substance, and Strategic Presence
The most qualified woman in the room does not always win. The most legible one does.
Superwoman Smarts is a working book, not a pep talk, written for women who are doing the work and still being overlooked.
The eBook (EPUB) is available directly from the studio. Kindle, paperback and hardcover editions are available on Amazon.
Bulk copies for events, leadership programs and book clubs are available on request. Ask about bulk copies
Speaking
Talks on presence, reputation and leadership
I speak to professional associations, colleges, women's leadership groups and small-business programs. Each talk is practical: the audience leaves with language and steps they can use the following week, not only encouragement.
Activating Leadership and Substance
Why capable people get overlooked, and how to close the gap between the work you do and how you are read. Drawn from Superwoman Smarts.
Reputation Rebuilding and Strategic Presence
How a reputation is formed before you speak, and how to direct it rather than leave it to chance, in person and online.
Presence Is Power: Personal Brand for Leaders
What a first impression communicates, from the profile photograph to the first thirty seconds in a room, and how leaders can make it accurate.
Formats
15 to 60 minutes. Talks can include a book signing or copies for each attendee.
