What is Aligned?

On August 5, we brought The Signature Series to Washington DC – a city known for purpose-driven leadership, advocacy, and bold convictions. This stop was all about alignment: between what drives you, what you stand for, and how your brand reflects both.

Here’s what grounded us, what opened us up, and what we’re still reflecting on.

Reflections From Aligned in Washington DC

Passions as Clues

When your passions feel scattered, remember: they're clues, not distractions. Alignment starts by connecting what you love with what you're great at.

Prompt:

What lights you up lately — creatively, intellectually, emotionally? What are the strengths you naturally bring into those moments? Where do those two worlds meet in your life today?

Alignment Through Stillness

Your personal brand isn’t just what you say or create – it’s how you live. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Rest, stillness, and joy are part of the work.

Prompt:

When in this event did you feel most grounded and at ease in your body and mind?

What part of your lifestyle feels misaligned right now — and what small shift would help restore balance?

Come back to these prompts whenever you need a reset. Your voice, your values, your vision – that’s the real brand.
