About
I'm on a mission to make sure talented professionals are no longer the best-kept secret at work – so they get recognized, get promoted, and become impossible to ignore.
For a long time, that wasn’t my experience.
I did strong work.
I stayed prepared.
I waited for my turn.
And I watched others move ahead while I stayed invisible.
The shift came when I stopped being a passive participant in my career and started taking ownership of how I showed up.
Within a year, I stepped into a Director role, learned to speak publicly despite deep nerves and introversion, and built a side business alongside my full-time job.
Then, in late 2022, I was laid off. That side business became RISE Learning Solutions, built on more than a decade of experience as a founding editor at LinkedIn, Prezi, and other leading tech companies.
Today, I work with organizations like Amazon, Zoom, and Cisco as a keynote speaker, trainer, MasterClass instructor 2026, and content creator. I also partner with select executives, including Fortune 500 CEOs, to strengthen their presence and thought leadership on LinkedIn and beyond.
My #1 bestselling book, Unforgettable Presence®, is the resource I wish I had when I felt overlooked. It’s written for professionals who want to show up with clarity, confidence, and intention without becoming louder, more performative, or someone they’re not.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐃𝐎
1) Keynote Speaker & Trainer
I speak on presence, communication, presentations, managing up, and modern workplace visibility. My sessions consistently receive 98-100% positive attendee ratings, with 250+ testimonials from teams and leaders.

3) Content Creator
As a LinkedIn Top Voice with 330,000+ followers, I’ve partnered with brands like Robert Half, HubSpot, MERIT, Gusto, Notion, and Superhuman.

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisEarly in my career, I thought I needed to map out every step before I made a move. But the opportunities that shaped me most came out of nowhere. A conversation at a conference, a project I raised my hand for or a role I wasn't sure I was ready for. I didn't have a perfect 5-year plan, I just kept doing the work: – Building skills before I needed them – Staying curious instead of comfortable – Nurturing relationships without an agenda Plans give you direction, but preparation gives you options – and when the right opportunity comes, you don't want to be scrambling to catch up. So if you're early in your career: stay flexible 👏🏻 Say yes to things that scare you a little, and keep investing in yourself even when you're not sure where it's leading – the dots connect later. Over prepare, don't over plan. PS. Are you more of a planner or a preparer? 👀

These are the things that took me from a nervous, overwhelmed speaker to a paid professional keynote speaker in less than a year. Swipe for 5 presentation tips that instantly make you look more confident on stage 👉🏻 The gap between forgettable and unforgettable is smaller than you think. It's not talent, it's prep.

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisYour next board presentation isn't where you'll become a better communicator. Your Wednesday team meeting is. Leaders think they only need to practice for the big moments. The presentation, the client pitch, or the interview... But those happen maybe a few times a year. You know what happens every single week? One-on-ones, team meetings, and larger functional meetings. I see this all the time with my coaching clients 👇🏻 They're surprised – and excited – when they realize how much more confident and competent they come across on video with just a little intention. It's been a few years since the pandemic, but video is still very much a part of our daily lives. Whatever skill you're trying to build needs reps. That means treating your team sync with the same intention as your quarterly review, because every meeting is practice – and a chance to show up differently. The high-stakes moments don't happen often enough to build real skills. But your regular meetings are where competence is built. 💙 PS. Does your video presence get the same attention as your in-person presence?

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisOne of the leaders I coached last month used a filler word nearly 100 times in a single call. She had no idea she was doing it. She was one of a group of 7 senior leaders I worked with recently. All of them extremely capable, but their message wasn't landing the way they wanted, because their presence and speaking skills hadn't caught up to their expertise yet. (been there many times 😄) The biggest tell for all of them was the same thing: filler words. When you're coaching public speaking, it's a common trap to want to fix everything at once. So we didn't. We picked one thing: a powerful pause. Instead of filling the silence, we gave it space. (and yes, it felt uncomfortable to her, but it showed as confidence to everyone else) By her next call, she was at zero. Executive presence comes down to a handful of small, trainable habits rather than something you're born with. The leaders who build them get listened to. The ones who skip them stay the best-kept secret in their own meetings.

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisI was catching up with an L&D leader recently, and he said something that made me raise an eyebrow 🤨 "I don't trust anything written anymore." Everyone's using AI, everyone's starting to sound the same… so he's tuning it all out. So I asked: What does he pay attention to now? The live moments. How you show up in a meeting, the way you hold a room, and the energy you bring when the camera's on or when you're standing in front of real people. That's where credibility lives now. And it actually makes sense. Written content used to be how we built trust over time with thoughtful emails, polished decks, and well-crafted updates. But when AI can generate all of that in seconds, the words start to lose their weight. Your presence is the ONLY thing that can't be replicated. The pause before you respond, the way you make someone feel heard, and the confidence in your voice when you share an idea. These are what make people lean in – and remember you. PS. Which builds more trust for you: someone's writing or how they show up live? 👇🏻

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisYour job title is forgettable. "I'm a [title] at [company]." We've all said it, we've all heard it, and we've all moved on without a second thought 🥱 In this video, I'm breaking down your UPI (Unique and Powerful Introduction) and the simple shift that makes people actually want to keep talking to you. It works whether you're at a networking event, in a meeting, or meeting someone new. Watch it, then try this 👇🏻 Finish the sentence "I help ______ do ______." Drop your UPI in the comments, and I'll give my feedback 💙

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisMy LinkedIn's getting quiet. Half my feed is on PTO, the other half is counting down the days till summer Fridays 😂 And I needed a break from work mode too. So I did something just for fun: I built a travel app. Planning group trips with friends used to mean 73 messages in a WhatsApp chat, three polls no one answered, and someone saying "I'm flexible!" while being the least flexible person alive. "Who's booking what?" "Where should we meet?" "What's everyone's budget?" 🫠 The chaos was all too real! I'm not a developer, but I used Replit and figured it out in an afternoon. Now it does everything: 🍽️ Pulls hidden gems and food spots 💰 Estimates costs and splits expenses 📍 It finds the best meeting point for the group 🗺️ Everyone drops in their dates, cities, and budgets ✅ Shared checklists so no one "forgets" to book their flight My friends thought I was joking when I sent them the link, and now we can’t imagine planning a trip without it! (I feel like a genius 😎) Summer's short, build something to help you have more fun! 🧡 If you've ever thought "I wish this existed," start here → https://lnkd.in/gnB42yGc PS. Where are you headed this summer? ✈️ #ReplitPartner #Ad

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisImposter syndrome hits me almost every time I try something new 😣 And I used to think that meant something was wrong with me. But when I interviewed leaders for my book, Unforgettable Presence®, I kept hearing the same thing: They felt it too, every single one of them – they just didn't let it stop them. Here's what I've learned to do instead 👇🏻 When that voice creeps in saying "you don't belong here," I look back. The times I did something hard and succeeded, and the times I failed and learned something that made me better. When I started my business, everything was new: keynotes, coaching, interviews, and writing my book. Now I've coached hundreds of professionals from companies like Zoom, Google, Cisco and Amazon, spoken on stages around the world, and my book was selected by Amazon editorial as a must-read. That didn't happen because the imposter syndrome went away, it happened because I kept going anyway. Think of it like building a muscle. Every time you push through the doubt and look at what you've actually done, you get a little stronger 💪🏻 The feeling doesn't disappear. You just get better at not letting it run the show. So if you're feeling like a fraud right now, you're probably just growing 🌸 PS. I created a FREE 5-day email course, From Invisible to Influential – daily lessons to help you get seen, heard, and remembered at work. 💙 Lesson 1 is waiting for you → https://lnkd.in/gBSd6uKh

Lorraine K. Lee shared thisI reread a full month of my own career advice this week. I expected four unrelated topics. Instead, I found one idea buried under all of them, and it wasn't what I expected to find. 👀 I pulled the four June lessons into one roundup: the reader story that started it, and the one line from a senior leader I still think about. Read the full roundup below. 💬 Which one hits closest to home for you?

Lorraine K. Lee reacted on thisLorraine K. Lee reacted on this250k is the new 100k dream But 500k is the new 'millionaire'... Ok I'm weird but hear me out 100k, as an annual revenue - would basically leave me homeless with 5 kids. 8.4k per month is gone before I even blink every month. Now, not everyone has a ridiculous amount of children lol, but I'd say the following is similarly true of most entrepreneurs these days... Making your first 6 figures is becoming less popular. Making multi 6 figures is becoming the new, real win I think 17-20k months free up the majority of people to lead a pretty decent life. So that's shift number 1. Shift number 2 - being a 'millionaire' is starting to feel overrated by a lot of people I speak to. They get to around half a mill and then kinda make a choice. Put some decent wedge away every month, have a cool lifestyle at 40-50k months and actually focus on family/hobby/self. So yeah, I'm all for chasing big dreams and maybe in a couple of years when the family are a little older the multi million exit might be more attractive. But right now, I recognise I'm in the peak of my life. At the stage where I KNOW in 30 years I'll be so pleased I recognised what it was to be present in my 30s... not just chasing some financial dream every single day. Everyones different so no judgement if 100k or 100 mill is the goal... Just seeing a bit of a 'sweet spot' carve out and a repeatable pattern which is interesting and, I think, quite exciting :) Oh btw - getting to 15k+ months, if you're ok with working 7-8 hours per day is TOTALLY doable. In an industry I'm going to disrupt and flip on its head in the coming months.... Help kick out the old perceptions... And ensure people who are willing to put some graft in get paid their worth :) Watch this space and DM me if you like to geek out on this stuff!

Lorraine K. Lee reacted on thisLorraine K. Lee reacted on thisI’m too busy. I overcommitted. I did it to myself. This is normal - here is why and how to avoid it. I’m writing you from a train seat, headed to record a podcast, before some meetings and then a flight home. Each thing I’m doing is definitely good. It’s also too much. Here is how I should have stayed out of these traps: 1) We have less empathy for our future selves. This is a known psychological flaw in human nature. It means that committing to something, particularly far away in the future, is easier to do without really considering the cost. Antidote: before you commit, imagine you had to do this tomorrow? Would you still say yes? 2) Things almost always take more time than we imagine. From errands to writing to projects, we imagine the best case. Antidote: double or triple the time you hope for. Cut the amount you think you will get done at least by half. 3) You work all day and get a lot done, but not that big project that matters. You keep trying to “make time” for the important deliverable, but each day slips away. Antidote: stop thinking you can clear time off all the little things to focus. They will keep coming. Instead, let the little things wait. Prioritize the one thing that will change your life or business. And with that, I’m going to post this little thing and go work on my book. What is the one thing you should focus on right now, this minute? ————— In other news, I'm teaching my Executive Presence course this weekend - join me and improve a critical career skill: https://buff.ly/ohQUIMt
