Lately, I’ve been reminded of something powerful: when you work in quietness, stay true to your purpose, and operate in excellence… people still notice you.

I’ve always believed in my capabilities and stayed anchored in who I am, even when the work felt unseen. But this week, I received two unexpected acknowledgements that truly humbled me.

First, a referral came from someone I never imagined would speak my name in a room I wasn’t in. It stopped me in my tracks.

Second, I learned that I was selected as one of Eventex’s 50 Most Influential People in the industry; an honor I never saw coming. My heart is full. Thank you to the incredible individuals who nominated me, and congratulationsto all the winners. I am truly grateful.

These moments reminded me that the appreciation of our work often shows up in the most unexpected and meaningful ways. Keep moving, keep believing, keep shining; your light is seen, even when you think no one is watching.

Every day, I’m reminded of how abundant my life truly is. The ups and downs, the wins and the challenges; they all shape and mold me into a stronger, wiser, more grateful human being.

I’m cherishing the people who mean the most to me… the ones who stand with me, uplift me, and remind me of the beauty in every season of life.

I’m deeply grateful for my dynamic team; the heartbeat behind everything we do. Your dedication allows us to run a successful business with purpose, passion, and excellence.

To our clients: thank you for trusting me and my team to create spectacular experiences and unforgettable moments. Your confidence in our vision is a gift I never take for granted.

And to my family, my foundation, my peace, my center. Thank you for grounding me, inspiring me, and loving me through it all.

Gratitude fills every corner of my life… and today, I’m choosing to honor it out loud.

What about you? What are you thankful for today?

While large-scale conferences have their place, I’ve found that my true strength lies in crafting intimate, high-impact experiences for executive leaders.

At Signature Concepts LLC, we specialize in designing elevated gatherings that go beyond the boardroom; executive leadership retreats, immersive incentive getaways, and exclusive experiences that reward top performers.

These events are built on creativity, precision, and high-touch details that allow attendees to disconnect from the day-to-day and reconnect with vision, strategy, and innovation. They’re designed to disrupt the routine, spark creativity, and foster meaningful connections in environments that inspire.

When you remove the formality of the boardroom, you create space for deeper conversations, stronger connections, and transformative outcomes.

Behind Every Powerful Brand Is a Powerful Team!

Being an event planner is one of the most rewarding roles I’ve ever stepped into but let’s be real, it’s not always easy. There are highs, lows, challenges, and moments of self-doubt. But what keeps me grounded and going strong? The phenomenal women who stand beside me.

Where I am weak, they are strong.
Where I pause, they push forward.
Where I dream, they execute.

Some of these ladies have been with me since day one; 21 years of loyalty, brilliance, and unwavering support. This photo only captures a portion of the powerhouse behind the scenes, but trust me, when you see them working with me, they represent my brand with pride, excellence, and heart.

To my team: THANK YOU. I am truly blessed to be in your presence. You are the backbone of this business, and I don’t take that lightly.

To my fellow business owners:
- How do you feel about your team?
- And how often do you say thank you?

Let’s normalize celebrating the people who help us shine.

Event Tip You’ll Want to Steal!

When I plan events, I rarely repeat elements, but this one is a game-changer I’ll gladly put on repeat!

It all started with my own 50th birthday celebration. Instead of the usual slice-and-serve cake, I gave each guest their own personal cake masterpiece, perched on a sleek glass pedestal. Yes, it was dessert, but it doubled as decor. Once they realize, guests are mesmerized, the cameras come out, the excitement builds, and the table becomes a gallery of edible art.

And here’s the kicker: venues and caterers? That cake-cutting fee? Gone. Because there’s nothing to cut. Nothing to serve. Just pure, pre-set perfection.
This isn’t just a dessert; it’s a statement piece. A conversation starter. A moment-maker.

So yes, I’m putting this on repeat. And you should too. If you’re looking for a dessert moment that’s beautiful, functional, and totally unforgettable, this is it!
Your guests will thank you. Trust me.

Highly recommend. Highly repeatable.

They keep coming back… and I’ll always show up for them.

There’s something sacred about legacy clients. They’re the ones who believed in you from the beginning. Who trusted your vision and guidance. Who return again and again not just for your services, but for the experience, the connection, the magic you bring to their lives.

So, when one of my legacy clients reached out to have me plan their wedding next year… I didn’t hesitate. Weddings may not be my primary business model anymore, but for my legacy clients, I’ll move mountains! I’ll make room. I’ll say yes, every time.

And it doesn’t stop there; next month, I’m heading to Nassau, Bahamas to plan a 50th birthday celebration for another legacy client whose 40th I planned a decade ago. Full circle moments like these remind me why I do what I do.

Because this is what it’s all about; building a business that becomes part of someone’s story. That gets invited back for the milestones. That gets remembered.

To every legacy client who continues to choose Signature Concepts LLC: thank you for making this more than business. You are the heartbeat of what I do.

Back in July, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the NACE Experience National Conference in Milwaukee, where I shared my signature talk: "Bankable Networking."

In this breakout session, I broke down professional networking using banking principles, because building your network should be just as intentional as building your financial portfolio.

Think relationship equity, intentional deposits, and long-term investments in people. When we treat our connections like valuable assets, we create a network that’s rich in trust, opportunity, and mutual growth.

It was an unforgettable experience connecting with so many passionate professionals who are ready to level up their networking game!

Now I want to hear from you:
-How do YOU go about building meaningful relationships in your professional life?

Did you read my latest blog yet? If not, I truly hope you do because this one comes straight from the heart.

In the events industry, we’ve all encountered gatekeepers those who guard their knowledge like treasure. But what if we chose to be gardeners instead? Leaders who plant seeds, nurture growth, and share wisdom freely?

In my latest blog post, I reflect on my experience and why I believe sharing is the most powerful leadership tool we have. When we open up, we build friendships, foster trust, and create a stronger, more connected community.

If you’ve ever felt shut out or longed for more collaboration in your journey, this post is for you.

Let’s grow together, not alone.

Here is a video clip of me at the chapter in Raleigh, NC earlier this year sharing with a room of vibrant industry creatives.

NEW BLOG POST!!!!!

Gatekeepers vs. Gardeners?

In the creative industry, we’ve all met both. Gatekeepers hold the keys, guard the doors, and keep their knowledge close, afraid that sharing might shrink their spotlight.

Gardeners they plant seeds. They nurture growth. They share wisdom freely, knowing that when others bloom, the whole field flourishes.

With 22+ years in this industry, I have always chosen to be a gardener. I mentor, I speak, I connect...not because I have all the answers, but because I believe in building a community where we all rise together.

My latest blog post dives deep into this idea; how gatekeeping hurts us, and how openness builds friendships, trust, and a stronger creative ecosystem.

NEW BLOG POST ALERT !

“I Am Not Pivoting, I Am EVOLVING” is now live on my blog!

After 22 years in business, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t always look like a straight line. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s unexpected but it’s always meaningful. In my latest blog post, I’m sharing a deeply personal reflection on why I’m choosing to EVOLVE instead of pivot, and how this shift is shaping the next chapter of my journey as a leader, speaker, and visionary in our industry.

This blog is for every entrepreneur who’s ever felt like change meant failure.

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. It means you’re growing...you're EVOLVING!

I invite you to read it, reflect on your own journey, and share your thoughts with me.

After you read it, drop a comment and let me know how it resonated with you.

I’d love to hear what you are EVOLVING into.
