About Your Hostess
"I am a living testimony that an authentic and profitable business CAN be built — if done the right way."
I didn't just wake up one day and magically land a successful career business. I failed forward, made mistakes, and learned the hard way so you don't have to. I know the struggle of undercharging, overworking, and feeling stuck in a business that isn't growing.
After years of trial and error, I figured out the formula — how to price my services with confidence, create systems that save time and energy, and attract premium clients who are happy to pay for my expertise. Now, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing ALL my business secrets with serious-minded résumé writers and coaches ready to win.
I've built a thriving 6-figure business part-time while serving as a corporate leader, helping hundreds of career professionals transform their brands. I hold 6 certifications — including the coveted PCC from the International Coaching Federation — and a Master of Science in Leadership & Organizational Development.
Expect high-energy, real-talk, no-fluff strategy delivered with humor — because no one needs another boring business seminar.

The Brand Behind the Business
Personal brand strategy for professionals whose expertise outruns their presentation.
Melanie L. Denny is owner and chief branding officer of Mellynated™, a personal brand strategy agency. She works with professionals who are excellent at what they do but invisible in how they present it, translating deep expertise into a brand that clients can recognize, trust, and hire.
Her focus is the layer most business advice skips: positioning, messaging, and the visual signals that decide whether a prospect keeps reading or quietly moves on. At the summit she brings that brand-side lens to the room, showing you how to lead with a presence that matches the quality of your work.

- Luxury Lifestyle Management Professional
- Private Households
The Standard of a Life Well Managed
Luxury lifestyle management built on discretion, standards, and service that never has to ask for credit.
Latricia Friend is a consultant and luxury lifestyle management professional serving private households. Her work lives in the details most people never see: the household that runs without friction, the standard that holds whether or not anyone is watching.
At the summit she brings that operator’s discipline to the room — how premium service is scoped, priced, and delivered without compromising quality or your own time.

- The Fit Recruiter
The View from the Hiring Side
Insider hiring perspective so your clients’ materials get read, not skipped.
Kareem Rogers is an active recruiter and HR Business Partner behind The Fit Recruiter. He has sat on the side of the hiring table most career professionals never see — screening résumés, building shortlists, and making the case for candidates to hiring managers.
At the summit he closes that gap: what makes a recruiter stop and read, the signals that move a candidate forward, and how to use that insider view to make your clients’ materials impossible to ignore.
04What You'll Gain
One focused day to strengthen how you position, market, price, and deliver your services.
