She Leads Me

Have you ever felt betrayed in your business before? Have you experienced someone taking your lifelong work and using the "copy and paste" method to make some quick cash? 

How are we then supposed to handle it? Do we ignore it? Do we dare take a stand or will we experience massive judgement? 

As I experienced that myself this year, I looked around and noticed that no one has spoken openly about this, yet many have experienced it. Today we are turning on the microphone to open up this discussion in a raw and real way.

When we share our stories, we connect with each other at a deeper level. When we make friends with our fear, we can step into who we're meant to be.

Working as a brand strategist with businesses of all sizes - from big brands like Five Guys to brand new entrepreneurs - for the past two decades, Melanie once drove 7,000 miles in 3 weeks on the Live Your Brand Tour to find out why great brands work. The HUMANS were at the center of everything. 

Along the way, she noticed that every human had a personal story to share along with their brand story. Diving into the methodology of writing branded talks, she saw an even bigger pattern - people wanted to write their talks, yet focused on what they had to do at their "real job" instead of their bigger impact in the world. She knew she had to change this.

As an international keynote speaker, brand storyteller, and public speaking trainer, Melanie took all of her corporate & personal branding experience and created a safe place for Kickass Humans to write the talks they needed to write so they could share it with the world through her course, SPEAK With Confidence. 

Melanie & her Crew travel the world creating branded experiences for humans like you to find your stories, build your confidence, and amplify your voices through their corporate public speaking and pitch trainings. 

When Melanie’s not playing with speakers & corporate folks or rocking the stage, she's living the vacation life - bouncing between Denver, a lake in Western New York, and coastal Florida chasing sunrises with her husband and her pup.
