Tai Goodwin is a Brilliance Catalyst – she has a keen intuition laser focused on helping people tap into their brilliance. Her commitment to helping people shine, offline and online, fuels her energy as a coach, speaker, and Employedpreneur Advocate. Founder of the Brilliant Network Mastermind, Tai specializes in showing clients how to use social media to amplify their message, ignite their audience and monetize their expertise.

An award-winning instructional designer, Tai has over 17 years in designing and delivering training programs for Fortune500 companies like Barnes & Noble and CA Technologies. Her time in corporate America sharpened her project management and consulting skills, which serve her clients well: she knows exactly what questions to ask to create practical results-focused plans of action. Tai launched her social media consulting business (www.taigoodwin.com) while working full-time. Frustrated with resources that failed to address her dual roles of full-time employee/part-time entrepreneur she decided to solve the problem herself. The outcome is Launch While Working.com, the first official site dedicated to Employedpreneurs, the growing population of professionals who are launching a business while working full time or part-time jobs.
