This is my story…
My life took a major turn after I went on extended maternity leave. It was during this time that I felt completely invisible, and I knew I had myself to blame.
Despite spending over a decade as an international publicist for high-profile individuals, I realised I had never taken the time to shape or elevate my own personal brand. Fear and self-doubt held me back. But I knew if I wanted things to change, I had to change.
That decision led to an unbelievable transformation, one that continues to unfold today.
"Carlii’s integrity and genuine desire to help her clients achieve their goals are what makes her so unique. While her professional achievements are extremely impressive and well deserved, it is her kindhearted character that sets her apart."

My Life in a Nutshell
Baby
I came into the world (accidentally) thanks to my very young parents. My first home was a caravan in front of my Nan’s house.
Fifteen
At 15, I was a high school dropout, pursuing a career in hairdressing to fund my party going lifestyle. A few years later, a wellness retreat helped me realise there was more to life.
Twenty-Seven
At 27, I was running my own PR consultancy in NYC, working with high profile individuals, from supermodels to New York Times bestselling authors, but I stayed firmly behind the scenes.
Thirty-Five
At 35, I was a full time stay at home Mum. I felt invisible without my career. I found the courage to introduce myself in a businesswomen’s networking group and everything quickly changed.
Forty-Two
Today, I am an international speaker and executive coach working with some of the world’s most iconic brands. Proof you can be an introvert and still take up space!
