Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. Linette Montae. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Dr. Linette, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
My entrepreneurship journey is a story of building authority, profitability, and legacy as a woman of color navigating the nuances of a male-dominated industry. My experiences exposed the distinct contrast between prevalent leadership styles and the underpaid qualities of empathy, emotional intelligence, and collaboration. In a rapidly evolving business world, traditional, rigid leadership models were becoming increasingly obsolete. And the realization that ‘feminine’ qualities were not just valuable but essential for business success became the logic behind starting Linette Montae International in 2010. However, after decades of observing a recurring pattern where female leaders struggled to find and amplify their authentic voices, my vision was not just to create another consultancy but to spark a movement to shed the traditional “shoulds” and redefine feminine success as happy, healthy and wealthy.
By 2016, my original vision took on a new dimension with the establishment of a Public Relations & Profitable Authority Branding firm. Integral to Profitable Empires, Inc is our signature program, “Scale Your Next Millions Blueprint,” bespoke to guide high-revenue female entrepreneurs, experts, and executives to higher levels of influence, impact, and income. The Blueprint isn’t just a service; it’s a carefully crafted roadmap personalized for each client to leverage their authority, increase their profitability, and live their legacy. The heart of the program is our Strategic Planning Day, a comprehensive look at our client’s current marketplace positioning and future aspirations, then identifying opportunities for brand elevation and industry penetration, and accelerated monetization.
Today, both Linette Montae International and Profitable Empires advocate for new paradigms. And my excitement is that I am not just building businesses; I am guiding a legacy of women who desire more freedom to enjoy the luxuries of success, more time to indulge in a leisure lifestyle, and more alignment with the power of their true being.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
