Stacey Cohen, who is a powerhouse in the public relations and branding business, is also an amazing speaker, author and educator. She presented an exciting and dynamic personal branding workshop that truly engaged and inspired the executives participating in the Fall Women Leaders on the Rise, program at the GWU - Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. Her workshop convinced the women attending why and how to build a personal brand that will ensure a growing career in these challenging times. If you have the chance to hire Stacey to speak to your group, I promise you will be grateful, as will the audience, who will shower her with questions and a desire to listen to her all day.

Stacey is genuine, concise, clear and extremely knowledgeable. We couldn’t get enough of her lecture and can’t wait to learn from her again. She made us think BIG and gave us strategies on how to succeed moving forward.

It is common knowledge that mothers and daughters often disagree on fashion trends, music and, of course, matters of the heart. However, my daughter, a recent college graduate, and I, a practicing attorney for some thirty years, have no disagreement regarding Stacey Cohen’s qualifications as a branding expert! Her insights on communications, PR and marketing resonate with both of us. We wholeheartedly agree that Stacey’s professional guidance is transformative and transcends generations.

I have had the pleasure of having Stacey participate in two recent Luxury Marketing Council events and each time she was an insightful and dynamic speaker and panel participant. She has an uncanny ability to draw out key issues and interesting facts and then the best in the audience making for a great conversation.

Stacey knows her stuff! Presenting to over 30 students, she captivated all with indispensable advice and tools to build their personal brand. Students entered the classroom naive but left inspired to position themselves for the future. Stacey guided them to cultivate their uniqueness, take inventory of their accomplishments, and deliver a clear message online/offline. My students now see a strategic plan's importance in setting themselves apart. In dynamic fashion, she made students aware that personal branding is a lifetime process that needs to begin now - in high school. High school students NEED Stacey Cohen's essential advice, and her course should be a requirement for all students.

Stacey Cohen presents leading-edge insight into today’s world of business. The seminar I attended on personal branding was extremely helpful and thought-provoking. Alongside offering practical advice, Stacey Cohen was also very attentive towards her audience and its questions. After the seminar, I had the chance to meet her in person and she took time to listen to my goals and offer specific advice geared towards becoming highly competitive in my industry.

We were fortunate enough to have Stacey Ross Cohen speak to our Professional Women’s Forum about the importance of Personal Branding. Her engaging, informative and thought -provoking presentation included lots of actionable advice which generated great discussion.

Your presentation was insightful, comprehensive, and well-received by our members. Providing the attendees with a complementary signed copy of your book made the meeting even more accessible. Your book is a reference guide for parents. It will be at their fingertips whenever it is needed. A copy is in the principal’s office as well for reference to the school staff.

Stacey’s insights on branding were nothing short of transformative. She masterfully blended deep industry knowledge with captivating storytelling. Her ability to engage the audience through interactive discussions and real-world examples truly set this session apart!

When Mercy University organized a digital inclusion event on our Bronx campus in 2023 we knew that including Stacey Cohen in the program as a panelist and session leader would provide invaluable insights and experiences for our high school participants. Stacey provided hands on instruction to help them understand the significance of their digital footprints and guidance in taking the first steps of building their personal brands.  We were so fortunate that Stacey brought her brand-building expertise to our program.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your inspirational speech at the Greenwich Y Young Women’s InitiativeI workshop. Your insights on branding and communication were incredibly valuable, and your approach to networking was particularly impactful. I have already started following your advice and look forward to seeing how it influences my personal and professional growth.

“Stacey recently spoke before a group of owners of PR firms and was excellent — well prepared, engaging, insightful, articulate, and knowledgeable. The audience was rapt. Several attendees thanked her profusely after the event. I highly recommend her as a speaker before any audience. She is certainly invited back to PRSA!”

Stacey Cohen is a consummate professional who is warm and friendly and weaves her expertise in branding and communications into giving back to the broader community. She chose to partner with YWCA Greenwich on our Center of Equity & Justice's inaugural Young Women's Initiative. She was willing to give her time and offer mentorship to young women who wished to pursue careers in civic engagement. Stacey is both inspired and inspiring.
