Discovering our Personal Brand: “This isn’t Disney World, but it’s where my story begins”

A week ago at MPI World Education Congress, someone gave me a piece of advice that stuck: “Develop your personal brand.” It got me thinking… Many of my friends and colleagues in the meetings industry know who I am, what I do, and my work ethic. How do I share this with new clients, collaborators, and those just starting to connect with me? How do I tell the story behind the passion — the WHY —that fuels everything I do? Why ME (as opposed to another meeting planner?).
There’s only one way I know: to invite you along for the ride! Over the next few weeks, I’ll share chapters of my journey—from where it all began, through the twists and turns of an international career, to the moments that challenged me and the lessons that shaped me.
This is more than a resume. It’s the story of building a purpose-driven business from the heart
