ROLE OVERVIEW

About the Client:

The client is a globally recognized author, executive coach, and keynote speaker specializing in leadership, mindset, and personal development. She works with high-level executives and organizations, delivering coaching, speaking engagements, and thought leadership content across multiple platforms. Her business is fast-paced and content-driven, with a strong focus on expanding her digital presence through social media, written content, and media appearances. She values professionalism, efficiency, and working with individuals who can think strategically, have a strong ‘marketing brain’ and can operate independently.

About the Role:
