Alesia is especially grateful to Susan Hodgkinson, Terri Nimmons, Rosemary Tator, Lina Foster and Janet Britcher for their hard work, insightful contributions and trusted friendship.
Susan Hodgkinson (Founder and Principal, The Personal Brand Company℠)
Susan’s focus as a leadership development expert, executive coach, and professional speaker is personal brand management. She is well-known for helping people at all levels build their leadership brands within their respective organizations. Her “Managing Your Leadership Brand” program has been adopted internationally by financial and professional service firms, companies, and business schools as part of their executive training. I, myself, decided to partner with Susan as a senior consultant and facilitator of her “Managing your Personal Brand” program to help my clients’ employees realize how they can proactively create opportunities for doing their best work. Susan’s credentials include an MBA from the Simmons School of Management, frequent presentations at national conferences, authoring The Leader’s Edge: Using Personal Branding to Drive Performance and Profit, and being sought out for perspectives and contributions by The New York Times, The Detroit Free Press, Essence Magazine, The Boston Globe, Fox News, Chronicle, as well as niche media like Employee Benefits News, The Merger & Acquisitions Advisor, Profiles in Diversity and Women’s Business Journal.

She is the co-founder of Stone Lake Leadership Group LLC, and a consistent contributor to leadership development programs at top financial services, manufacturing and food service companies as well as large government agencies. As a facilitator and “real world” coach, she focuses on helping senior leaders define and grow their personal brands as well as supporting experienced professionals who are willing to plumb their own self-awareness to create more effective results for themselves and their organizations.
