296: Stand Out to Get Ahead – How to Supercharge your Professional Presence. Lorraine K. Lee

What makes someone unforgettable in today’s noisy, distracted
world? Oliver Aust sits down with Lorraine K. Lee – author of
Unforgettable Presence, globally recognized keynote speaker,
LinkedIn Learning instructor with over 300,000 followers, and
former editor at LinkedIn – to explore the art and science of
becoming someone people remember, trust, and want to work with.


Lorraine shares her deeply personal and professional journey from
being a high-performing, yet overlooked team member at LinkedIn
to becoming one of the most in-demand voices on executive
presence, virtual communication, and career visibility. 


Her transformation didn’t happen overnight – it was fueled by a
clear realization: being good at your job isn’t enough if no one
notices. You need presence – and that’s a skill anyone can learn.


She introduces listeners to her signature frameworks, starting
with the EPIC career brand: Experiences,
Personality, Identity, and Community. This framework helps you
define and communicate your professional identity with intention,
starting with your unique background and values, and extending to
how others perceive and speak about you. 


She follows with the RAVE model for influence:
Relationships, Appearance, Visibility, and Expertise. It’s a
practical roadmap for building influence at any level, with or
without a formal leadership title.


Lorraine also shares highly actionable tips for upgrading your
video presence, leading meetings with impact, and navigating
first impressions – both in person and online. 


You’ll learn why micro-behaviors matter more than you think, how
to manage your energy like an athlete, and how to leverage
LinkedIn not just to go viral, but to build meaningful
professional relationships. Lorraine emphasizes that presence
isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room – it’s about
being the most intentional.
