About Me

"For every step you take out of your comfort zone, you send a clear message to yourself: 'I got you. And no matter what happens, you’ll be okay.'”
- S. Renee Smith, CEO

From tech sales to entertainment, marketing to public relations, authorship to leadership development – my career has been an unconventional, yet thrilling journey of exploration and growth. It has allowed me the opportunity to work with celebrities, national business leaders, and nervous employees in their first roles.

With a focus on driving cultural change through talent development, I've held leadership roles at Amazon, Walmart, and Paramount. I also served as Director of Public Relations, advisor to a university president, and Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer for a leading organization dedicated to creating workplaces free from harassment and abuse.  

Every decision I made led me to discover new things about myself and my capacity for success. I learned to trust my instincts and take ownership of my own life and control of my career. I encountered setbacks, faced rejections, and navigated uncertainty while embracing risks and taking accountability for the outcomes. 

While my errors grounded me, they compelled me to reassess, realign, and extract life's teachings to apply daily. Validation from companies entrusting me with their workforce, publishers acknowledging my proficiency and hiring me to write for them, and media recognizing my message's value, alongside unexpected accolades and awards, further reinforced my purpose and the impact of my work on others.
