ABOUT US
Why Her Brilliance?
Laura Bennett and Kellie Jenkins founded Her Brilliance after seeing too many accomplished women leaders who didn’t fully recognize how brilliant they were.
Through our own leadership journeys we have discovered that our unique brilliance is creating safe spaces for women to come together, build deep connections, and find the confidence to transform their leadership.
