Becoming a world class athlete wasn’t something Amy dreamed of as a child, it’s something she accidentally fell into – after having 3 children. After leaving the finance world to focus on her family, Amy discovered the sport of triathlon. Within 3 years of her first race, she was competing for Canada at the ITU world championships while raising 3 kids under the age of 6. Her training was unconventional, but the ingenuity she brought from her athletic training gave birth to a business that would span the globe, inspiring women to push their physical limits without sacrificing time. Amy developed a method to increase power, endurance and strength in 20 minutes – with or without equipment, all while making the impossible seem possible. By combining the lessons she learned about mental resilience as an athlete and behavioural science into her training method, she launched Get TriFIT, a global online fitness solution.

Doreen Brown is an Australian-based personal brand stylist and the founder of Let's Get Visible®, a personal brand and visibility consultancy helping founders, emerging leaders and teams build brands that are distinctive, sustainable, and built entirely on their own terms.   With over a decade of experience in personal brand strategy, Doreen has worked with professionals across industries who share a common thread: deep expertise, clear ambition, and a visible gap between who they are and how they show up. Her work sits at the intersection of identity, strategy, and visual language, helping clients become not just visible, but unmistakable.   She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology, a Diploma of Financial Services, and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and has trained with the Australian Style Institute in personal and editorial styling, as well as creative direction for photo shoots. This multidisciplinary background shapes her distinctly human approach to the work; she understands how people think, how brands communicate, and how visual identity can either close or widen the gap between expertise and opportunity.   Doreen's philosophy is direct: the shoulder tap is not coming. In a world of increasingly beige feeds and templated brands, the professionals who build lasting careers are the ones who choose to stand out rather than blend in. Those who become a market differentiator rather than another voice in the noise.   Through wardrobe edits, brand shoot creative direction, and personal styling strategy, she helps clients step into the visibility their expertise deserves, not for a moment, but for the long term.   Doreen writes about personal brand visibility, strategic styling, the psychology of presence, and what it genuinely takes for talented professionals to become the recognised authority they already are.
