You know that person on LinkedIn who makes you stop scrolling — in a good way? That’s Lorraine K. Lee.

In this electric episode, Lorraine joins me to talk about:

• How she landed her first job in Silicon Valley (spoiler: it involved a barbecue)
• Why she ditched traditional journalism for tech—and never looked back
• The real reason she wasn’t getting promoted at LinkedIn (and what changed)
• Getting laid off... then launching a thriving speaking business
• Her path to becoming a LinkedIn Top Voice, keynote speaker, and now bestselling author of Unforgettable Presence

We also unpack what “presence” really means (hint: it’s more than just executive presence), and why your LinkedIn profile might be doing you more harm than good.

If you’ve ever felt like your hard work is going unnoticed, or that public speaking isn’t for “people like you,” this one’s for you.

Plug in, take notes—and prepare to be inspired.
