My most memorable April Fool’s Day wasn’t a prank. It was my lost car. 🚗💨
Years ago in Chicago, I parked my brand-new car on the street. The next morning? Gone. And because it was April 1st, almost nobody believed me.
The car was never found, but I replaced it. Later, I actually won a car alarm contest by writing the entry from the replacement car’s point of view! 🏆
That experience taught me the foundation of my 29-year career in PR:
Giving something a voice is always worth the effort. Good work doesn’t just speak for itself. You have to make it visible, clear, and easy to believe.
Today, I’m so excited to introduce my new brand evolution and newsletter: Brighter Presence. ✨
If you are an executive, founder, or thought leader, the rules of visibility are changing fast. AI is changing who gets found, and if your proof is blurry, you are invisible.
In Issue 001, we are talking about exactly how to fix that.

Presence is Power. Lead with Light.
