"AJ’s presentation was THE BEST we’ve EVER had."

“Insightful. Her presentation was thought-provoking and informative.”

“Bright. Articulate. Knowledgeable. Authentic energy.”

“Her expertise in personal branding is unmatched.”

"I invited AJ to our sales conference to talk about personal branding and its importance with today's consumers and growing your business. She was engaging, articulate, and knew her stuff! Because she got rated our #1 speaker that year by attendees, we brought her back again. I've also had the pleasure of working with AJ on my own personal brand. Knowing and being influenced by her has been a game-changer for me. Hire her, you won't be sorry!"

Anton Gunnaward-winning executive business & life coach

Simple…plain English…logical…perfect…HOW to build your professional or personal BRAND…I highly recommend AJ for any audience looking to break down all the complexities of building a brand based on you and YOUR reputation. And not only the why of it…but the WHO of it and then understanding WHY that matters.

Rob Thomasspeaker, author, coach

We recently had our sales symposium in which AJ presented a workshop discussing monetizing our brand. Her content and presentation were great! Sometimes the presenter gets rushed or pushes too much material in a short period of time but not AJ. She gave us the right amount of content mixed with personality to make a great workshop. I highly recommend her as a presenter/speaker!

did you know?

74% of Americans are more likely to trust you if you have an established personal brand.

Are you in a commoditized industry? Do you constantly have to explain why and how your products and services are different from your competitors? Do you need more credibility in the marketplace? Are you in a reputation-dependent business? In addition to making more money, do you want to make more impact?

If you and/or your audience would answer yes to any of these questions, this program was built for you.

This is your crash course in how to become well known in your targeted space.

We are in a transition away from a corporate-dominated marketplace to a content, reputation and influence-driven market. People are no longer willing to buy from you solely based on what you offer. They want to know you. They want to learn from you. They want to like you and trust you.

Trust is profitable. 58% of Americans say they’re likely to spend more money with you if you have an established personal brand that they know, like and follow. And the data says that these numbers are only going to get bigger. Business today is no longer just about what you do, it’s about who you are.

Your audience will leave with straightforward strategies they can implement that same day, to start growing their influence and building their personal brand.

“Captivating, educational, actionable, and entertaining.”

- Hilary Billings
