When I started my coaching practice, I wanted to share my experience and help others avoid the same mistakes I made as an entrepreneur. I quickly realized that my ideal clients are the ones who genuinely value my expertise and can apply what they've learned in their day-to-day business. Tapping into my deep knowledge of the travel industry has helped me attract clients who are the right fit.

When you're thinking about how you want to rebrand yourself, it's not just about your aesthetic or your job title - it's about realigning your public image with who you are becoming professionally and personally.
