Brand Leaders

Are you a subject matter expert, leader or entrepreneur ready to expand your influence but unsure how to position yourself for the next level.

Hi, I’m Michelle, a speaker, author, advisor and founder of Brand Leaders, a professional branding and LinkedIn visibility training platform. 

I help experts, leaders and teams position their personal brands, grow visibility on LinkedIn, and become in-demand authorities in their industries. 

Your personal brand should be your business advantage, but it needs a foundational strategy and plan first. That's why I created my Own Your L.A.N.E. framework to make so you're clear, credible and competitively advantaged in your field:

OWN YOUR LANE. OWN YOUR FUTURE. 

After years of watching brilliant professionals stay overlooked, I created the Own Your L.A.N.E.™ System, a proven roadmap for business development. 

L – Launch Your Vision (Purpose)
A – Assert Your Difference (Positioning)
N – Navigate Your Brand (Presence)
E – Elevate Your Authority (Proof)

Because when you’re clear on who you are and how you show up…

The right people find you
The right opportunities follow
And you become known for what sets you apart

I speak, teach & advise experts, leaders, teams and audiences to:

✔ Position and differentiate your expertise into a recognizable brand
✔ Grow a consistent presence and build influential relationships on LinkedIn®
✔ Elevate your authority through speaking, media and PR opportunities

Positioning Women Experts Into Visible Authorities┃Personal Brand, PR & Thought Leadership Strategist & Coach to Own Your Lane With More Visibility, Impact & Income┃Author┃Speaker┃80s Music Fan┃Own Your Lane™ Book 10/15

Hi, I’m Michelle. I transform hidden experts into visible authorities and so glad you’re here. 

If you've ever struggled to explain what you do, felt overlooked despite your expertise, or missed opportunities you knew you were perfect for, you're not alone—and you're in the right place.

After seeing brilliant experts stay invisible because they believed their work would speak for itself, I created the Own Your Lane™ Recognition Roadmap to help you become the go-to authority in your field.

THE OWN YOUR LANE™ SYSTEM

L – Launch Your Vision (Purpose)
A – Assert Your Difference (Position)
N – Navigate Your Brand (Package)
E – Elevate Your Authority (Promote)

OWN YOUR LANE. OWN YOUR FUTURE.
My mission is to position you for success. I speak, train, and advise experts and leaders—especially women in business—who are ready to be seen, heard, and sought-after. Together, we chart your one-page personal branding roadmap to give you the clarity, confidence, communication and competitive edge for business growth. 

Why this matters: You stop comparing yourself to everyone else. You gain the positioning, words and strategy to know who you are, what makes you different and a repeatable way to talk about what you do — in person, online, in meetings — anywhere decisions are made.

My clients have gone from “one of many” to “the one” -- booked on TEDx & industry stages, featured in top media, published best-selling books & effortlessly growing thought leadership on their terms. 

Now it’s your turn…

Online experts and coaches partner with me to increase profits using their email funnel & personality-driven emails. Follow me on my journey to being a 6 figure email marketer

Are you a talented online expert, coach,or consultant...

Running a lean business but struggling to attract a steady flow of coaching clients and customers? 

Don't lose it (just yet) because you're definitely not the first.

The truth is, with so many experts making the same promises as you, it can be tough to stand out and create a consistent demand for your products and services. 

But here's the good news - with the power of good email copy and the right strategy, you can change all of that.

I specialize in helping online experts just like you create a thriving business that generates continuous demand for your coaching programs or courses. 

Together, we'll work to nurture your email list audience and turn them into loyal customers who are excited to buy from you.

Here's what you can expect when you work with me:

An extra $8,500 - $35,000 per month in course and program sales, without any extra costs like monthly retainers or wasteful ad spending.

More time to focus on providing excellent fulfillment to your clients, growing your team, and taking your business to the next level.

A partner who truly understands your unique challenges and can provide the tailored support you need to succeed.

Just to make sure we'd be great for each other, you should:

Be building an email list

Have an offer(s) ranging from $300+

Have testimonials and case studies lined up

Have a consistent lead flow of new subscribers

So, if you're ready to create an ecosystem of leads and signups from your email list, let's talk! 

Send me a DM with the word "PERFORMANCE" and we'll take it from there. 

Trust me, you don't want to wait - the sooner we start working together, the sooner you can start seeing real results.
