Own It: A Workshop for Professionals Who Are Tired of Playing Small

Trigger alert: People who aren’t as smart, insightful, or as experienced as you are scooping up the opportunities you’ve been quietly dreaming about. And you’re letting them. But here’s the good news: you can fix it.

The big secret is that no one is being handed opportunities. They are going out into the world and confidently pursuing them. I know it’s hard to hear, but the fact is, the loudest person, not the most credible, takes the stage, gets the promotion, or makes the sale.

If this sounds insane and unfair, I agree, and that’s why I have created the Reputation Architecture framework. It’s my mission to help smart, overlooked experts stop getting in their own way, and give them the tools to finally show up like they mean it.

Typically delivered as a 6-week course, I’m offering an exclusive half-day, in-person intensive workshop designed to give you the confidence, tools, and direction to pursue what you want. 

As a special bonus, we’ll have a Q&A panel discussion with previous graduates of the full Architecting Authority course. Learn from and be inspired by real people just like you who’ve done the work, put the framework into practice, and are crushing their goals.

This isn’t about building a “personal brand” so you can become some kind of LinkedIn influencer. This is about finally being seen for who you really are. This is about deciding what you want and figuring out where you need to go to get it.

If you participate actively and authentically, you will walk away with a new perspective. You’ll see yourself differently. You’ll stop second-guessing. You’ll start showing up, and you will never let yourself be invisible again.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A professional purpose statement that makes it easier to talk about yourself without feeling like you’re faking it
  • A LinkedIn headline and About section that actually reflect who you are and what you bring to the table
  • A visibility roadmap to help you figure out where you want to show up and how to get there
  • A book of AI prompts that will save you hours of overthinking and second-guessing
  • And maybe most importantly? A shift. You’ll see your work and yourself differently

What This Workshop Will Help You Do

  • Get unstuck from whatever mindset loop has been holding you back
  • Say out loud what you actually want
  • Find the language to express your value without sounding like you’re trying too hard
  • Start building a personal brand that opens doors, without selling out or selling yourself short
  • Stop sitting on the sidelines while other people take your spot

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring?

A laptop or tablet with access to an AI tool like ChatGPT or Claude. Something to write with and something to write on. You’ll be thinking, reflecting, and drafting throughout the workshop.

Is this just a teaser for your course?

No. This is a standalone, high-impact workshop designed to deliver real value and momentum. You’ll leave with work done, decisions made, and tools in hand.

Will there be a recording or virtual option?

No. This is an in-person experience by design. You’ll get more out of it when you show up fully, ask questions, talk to other people in the room, and take the space you’ve been avoiding. If you prefer a virtual option, consider the online course.

Who should take this course?

Any mid-career professional, especially analysts, product folks, security leaders, consultants; anyone who’s great at what they do but hasn’t figured out how to talk about it yet. If you’ve ever been told “you need to put yourself out there” and didn’t know where to start, this is where you start.

Do I have to be extroverted or have a big idea already?

No. You just have to be done with playing small. Whether you're quietly ambitious or in the middle of a big pivot, this will help you get clear on what you bring to the table and how to get it in front of the right people.
