Danielle LaPorte, is the founder of www.WhiteHotTruth.com; a consultant to entrepreneurs who want to rock their careers, and co-author of the bestseller, STYLE STATEMENT: LIVE BY YOUR OWN DESIGN. According to LaPorte, Your Style Statement are the two words that define the true you. It’s a touchstone for making more powerful choices in your life – from your wardrobe to your living room, your relationships to your career plans. Your Style Statement is where your essence meets your expression. The definition of style is “the way in which something is said, done, expressed, or performed. A quality of imagination and individuality expressed in one’s actions and tastes.” As a focal point of the true you, your Style Statement is a constant reminder of what lights your fire and how you can bring more of that into your life. Confusion costs energy, time, and money. Authenticity creates consistency, ease, and momentum. With your Style Statement as a grounding rod, you’ll have far fewer “What was I thinking?” moments.

Communicating who you are in all you do is very powerful stuff. When you intentionally design your life, you walk taller and think more clearly—and the world responds accordingly.

Featured in Elle, Body + Soul, Vogue Australia, and numerous talk shows, Danielle is the former Director of a DC-based think tank for futures studies, and ran her own communications company promoting visionary people and projects for over a decade.
