Hi Sheila, I wanted to tell you that the session you conducted at Neutrogena was invaluable to me.  I have not seen or heard anything like the information you gave down to a personal level.  It was interesting to hear what I seemed to portray in my daily image versus what I THOUGHT or want to portray. Thanks in advance for you time and consideration Sheila and the session you led was invaluable.

Michael Director-Quality Compliance/Johnson & Johnson


Did you hear anything about the Women's' Network program yesterday?  I thought it was excellent and it was just a very short version of what is done for employee development.  The topic was "BYOB - Be Your Own Brand" and talked about people identifying their own unique attributes and how their appearance either supported or detracted from that.  I'm not exactly in the "I care a lot about what I look like" category, but I thought the points she made about 1) knowing our "brand, 2) the message we send to others and 3) how that contributes to how prepared we are to do our jobs, were very valid. I don't know the process for determining employee development options, but of course I thought of you as my best contact. Thanks!

Sheila, I wanted to personally thank you for just being there. Your faith in God really touched me. Your presentation was on point. And your kindness spoke volumes. We can never tell what a child gets when we speak to them, only time will tell. But I do know one thing that is true. If we stay transparent with them, they will never forget us. That's what you did for me and them. You made a huge impression.

Haskel Jackson Jr. - Loop Dreams Teaching Artist The Kanye West Foundation


Hello Sheila! My name is Johnna and I was one of the participants in the recent BYOB workshop that you conducted at Neutrogena. First, let me say what a blessing the workshop was for me. For years I have struggled with understanding what my “style” is. Whenever I complained about my style (or lack thereof), people would ask me ‘well how do you describe your style?’. And oddly enough I could never communicate it. Therefore, making me feel as though I just didn’t really have style because I lacked the capacity to define it. But your BYOB framework of focusing on the impression that you want to leave on others and really owning and making a personal statement through your image and appearance has changed all of that for me. I realize now that I didn’t struggle with style because I didn’t have any but rather I lacked the framework within which to think about how I wanted to communicate my “brand” to others. Now I have that understanding and for that I am truly grateful.

Dear Sheila Thank you, thank you! What a productive and fun session!  I never understood what branding meant in relation to your personal style. I always felt it was what you do vs. who you are.  It's very clear now and I only wish we had two whole days with you to cover more material.

Carmen/TV Finance Group NBC Universal


Dear Sheila, My name is Josefina.  We met at the Women’s Network event at NBCU this past Wednesday.  Thank you for a very effective seminar!  I hope that we will figure out a way to get NBCU to invest in additional in-depth seminars w/ you. I was so impressed by your energy, your presence, the content of your presentation, your style (especially your hot pink Alexander McQueens) and I’m wondering if you ever make exceptions and work w/individuals one-on-one.  I look forward to working with you, Sincerely,

Josefina, Project Manager, Domestic Film & Music Systems NBCU Media Works IT


My family and I have been in the entertainment business for many years and I never heard anyone say, "Let's develop a branding statement and then - we'll put the visual to it!" BYOB is an innovative concept and changed the way I'll look at my artists and myself in the future!

Kerry Gordy, Entertainment Executive Son of Legendary Music Pioneer, Barry Gordy Sr. of Motown


I didn't understand what BYOB was all about, but I definitely saw the difference it made in my daughter (Leigh). The confidence and sense of empowerment she gained was AMAZING! Who doesn't want that for their child or in life?

Mr. Jones proud father of Leigh Jones


The BYOB process is simple but powerful. It made me really ask myself "Who I Am" instead of "What Should I Wear?" BYOB helped me discover the "Who" so the "What" became clear... I am a happy product of BYOB!

Staying consistent, authentic and true to your brand is a challenge in the entertainment business. I have known Sheila/BYOB for over 10 years and can say she has stayed true to her brand...confident, consistent and authentic!

Melinda Dancil Melinda Enterprises Management Firm


Sheila knows how important it is for an artist to be true to who they are and connect with their fans. She has always encouraged me to “Be My Own Brand!” So when I won my Grammy for “The Boy Is Mine” – Sheila was definitely the glue that bonded “My Brand” and “My Fans!”

“Monica” Arnold Singer/Actress/Grammy Award Winner


How can you "Speak Volumes Without Saying A Word...?" I didn't understand that concept until I met Sheila and worked with BYOB! It's amazing how when you determine what you want to project and put the right visual to it...you can do just that! Speak Volumes! I've seen Sheila do this time and time again for artists and she's living proof of it herself!

Michele Smith Marketing Executive for Concord Music


"Speak Volumes Without Saying A Word..." that's BYOB! When Sheila and I worked together on my "Black Diamond" project, she helped me create a brand that is still imbedded in the minds of my fans today! I felt good; looked good and moved like the image we created...a beautiful "Black Diamond!"

Angie Stone Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Actress


As a Sales Executive, my "business attire" has always been tight! But I wanted to change my casual image and define my brand! After working with BYOB - I feel good, look good and get confirmation from others as well. I definitely have that "BYOB Swagger!" BYOB for Life!
