After 4 different careers in engineering, brand marketing, performing arts and teaching, I felt lost, stuck and unfulfilled. After a 6-month dive into my personal brand, I finally found my greatness and purpose: "Professional Speaker"​

Networking was my first expertise. In 2008, I introduced my own concept of personal branding as a leader and it became my 2nd core expertise. 

In 2011, when I spoke at my first of 5 TEDx talks, I concurrently launched a new social media strategy. Within 6 months got my first speaking gig directly off of Twitter. Now I have over 650,000 followers, was named one of Inc Magazine's Top 100 Leadership speakers and social media / digital connection became my 3rd main expertise. 

I've spoken to half a million people across the world. I've trained 1000's of professionals, including C-suite executives, on how to use the "Power of Connection"​ to be a thought leader through relationship building, content creation, storytelling, & speaking effectively.

REVIVAL.
That’s my word for 2026.

Because I’m done being “fine” on paper and flat in real life.

REVIVAL (for me) is simple:
Show up again.
Socialize again.
Create again.
Perform again.

And the next 30 hours are a living example:

🎤 Tonight — Tue, Jan 27 @ 6:00 PM (Toronto): Speaker Slam  

I’m judging up-and-coming speakers who are brave enough to get on stage before they feel “ready.”

🤝 Tomorrow — Wed, Jan 28 @ 6:00 PM (Toronto): LinkedIn Local Toronto Meetup hosted by DYPB - Discover Your Personal Brand  

I’m co-hosting + moderating a panel on AI regulations for content + creatives — ownership, rights, and what actually changes when AI is in the process.

Featuring: Amber Mac, Mohit Rajhans, Elizabeth S. Dipchand and me.

Also… personal revival: I’m stepping back into my performer side — my first musical in 18 years. 🎶

Watch the video. Then comment one word:
What do you want to revive in 2026⁉️

LinkedIn sent me my Year in Review. One insight mattered more than all the numbers. 💯

👉🏾 Sure, the stats were fun:

• Joined LinkedIn in 2004
• 1st connection ever: Chris Newton-Smith  
• 342 days on, Top 5% of members 
• 2092 new connections 
• 279 posts, 7,836 reactions, 4245 comments 
• Left 3185 comments 
• Most-used reaction: Support 🫶🏽
• 75,866 hit “Follow” (which means many more left⁉️) 
• Apparently my vibe is “Catalyst” — someone who sparks fresh perspectives

All interesting.

But the part that stopped me?

LinkedIn named the person I “kept up with all year long.”

Melanie Mitchell Wexler 👏🏽

Because the real win isn’t reach.
It’s relationships. 🙌🏽

The people you build with.
The people who challenge your thinking.
The people who quietly make you better without needing credit.

So I’m saying this publicly:

Melanie — I see you. And I’m grateful. 🙏🏾

And for everyone reading this:

Who’s one person on LinkedIn you’re genuinely grateful for this year — and why❓🤔👇🏾

Tag them. Let them feel it. 

#Community #Leadership #LinkedIn

AI can generate in seconds.
Ownership is where it gets messy. 💯

If an AI model was trained on millions of pieces of content…
who actually owns what it creates?

And what happens when your “original” work looks a little too close to someone else’s?

This isn’t a future problem.
It’s already showing up in contracts, content disputes, and boardroom conversations.

Most creators, founders, and leaders won’t realize they’ve lost leverage
until they try to protect something they assumed they owned.

That’s why our 30th LinkedIn Local Toronto meetup is going straight into
the collision point of AI + Tech + IP Law — and what “ownership” even means now.

Not theory.
Not hype.
Real-world implications.

We’ll unpack:

🔵 What AI ownership actually looks like today

🟢 Where creators and companies are most exposed

🟣 How leaders can think about protection before it’s too late

This conversation is led by people working at the edge of this every day:

An AI & tech voice shaping how Canada thinks about innovation — Amber Mac  

An IP lawyer protecting ideas in fast-moving industries - Elizabeth S. Dipchand  

An AI adoption advisor helping leaders move from hype to execution — Mohit Rajhans  

📍 Wed Jan 28 | 6–9pm
📍 401 Bay St, Toronto
Networking + panel + open discussion

If you’re a founder, creative, lawyer, marketer, or corporate leader,
this is one of those conversations you don’t want to catch up on later.

👉🏾 QUESTION:

What’s one thing you’ve created that you’d fight to protect ownership of⁉️🤔👇🏾

If you’re going to quote Martin Luther King Jr. on the official MLK day, you best be somebody who lives by the words you share, or at least authentically and genuinely aspires to do so. 

There are so many powerful quotes of his and we’ve seen so many of them. I chose this one today because at this current moment of my life, I am definitely speaking up, calling out, taking action, and make my voice heard against so much injustice in the world. 

We all need to do this more and do better. ✊🏾🙏🏾
