I grew up in a highly dysfunctional household with few resources. I vividly remember wearing my brother's hand-me-downs and using nails to poke holes in belts too big for faded jeans.
In middle school and the first year of high school, I was very social and sold candy until a fellow student sold me out. The market (students starving for candy) was eager for a solution (Jolly Ranchers and Starbursts).
That foundation taught me something invaluable: Combine what I'm good at (interacting with people and communicating) with a solution that solves a problem in the market.
My professional journey took me from the Fairmont Hotel Chicago's concierge desk to the C-suite trenches. That's where I learned how accomplished executives build authority.
Executive Assistant → The Foundation
Working alongside key decision-makers, I witnessed corporate strategy development firsthand. I documented multi-million-dollar strategy discussions. I drafted executive correspondence. I learned how real power operates.
Most importantly, I noticed a disturbing pattern: The most brilliant strategic minds had very little digital presence.
Copywriter → The Skill
Executives increasingly asked me to write, edit, and refine their communications. Soon, I was crafting content for the CEO of Morton Salt and thousands of readers. My part-time copywriting income surpassed my assistant's salary. The skill was evident.
Business Messaging Consultant → The Strategy
I earned advanced certifications from well-known names in marketing and formed Palmary Digital Solutions. I helped organizations identify competitive advantages through strategic positioning. But I kept returning to the original problem of invisible executive authority.
Executive Legacy Strategist → The Mission
While on vacation in Jamaica, one conversation changed everything. I met a former Capitol Hill Staffer and State Treasurer who said, "I miss being the big dog." He is a Harvard and Wharton-educated retired professional who was watching his expertise evaporate while lesser voices spoke in spaces he should have dominated.
We built his complete authority platform.
The results → A new website. Vibrant social media profiles. Speaking gigs in front of audiences that need his expertise. A book positioning him as THE subject matter expert in his space.
Executive Publishing Strategist → The Evolution
I realized this was an epidemic. Thousands of accomplished executives were digitally invisible while industries desperately needed their guidance.
Now, I lead The Executive Publishing House, bridging the gap between corporate achievement and public influence through sophisticated platform architecture, digital content creation, book development, and authority design - all of which culminate in compensated speaking engagements.
Why My Background Creates Unmatched Executive Service
Executive Understanding: Deep comprehension of C-suite requirements, communication standards, and reputation considerations. This isn't generic marketing. It's executive-caliber positioning.
Publishing Excellence: Established relationship with a respected publisher who has worked with Arianna Huffington, Jordan Belfort, and Jocko Willink. A clear understanding of what creates lasting credibility and a proven ability to position executives for maximum industry influence.
Authority Architecture: Proprietary systems that systematically transform private accomplishments into public recognition and ongoing influence.
Proven Methodology: Clients achieve meaningful speaking opportunities, secure respected board positions, and create lasting legacies that continue influencing their industries.
"Preserving and Amplifying Executive Wisdom"
The strategic insights that shaped modern business deserve platforms that match their significance.
I create sophisticated authority architectures that ensure executive expertise continues guiding industries and developing the next generation of distinguished leaders.
Your expertise deserves a platform as sophisticated as your achievements.
