Joining the Enterprising Women Advisory Board are:

Josée Brisebois is a personal brand expert and fashion stylist for women professionals, speakers, and entrepreneurs. Having founded "We Can Style" in 2009, Brisebois brings more than 20 years of experience to her passion for positioning experts and professionals as confident, go-to authorities who command higher rates, attract better opportunities, and make high-level business connections.

A graduate of McGill University, she developed her skills while working as a marketing and branding expert in the technology industry at the height of the dot com boom. Then, having studied with one of the first personal stylists in Montreal, she worked as a personal stylist for professionals, public speakers, TV personalities, and red carpet events. She continued refining her styling abilities as a television newscaster, host, and Hollywood actress, starring in a feature film. In appearing on ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS, she learned very quickly that the stage and the camera respond differently to specific cuts and colors. Today, this expertise allows her to guide her clients through a proven process of building a polished stage and camera-ready wardrobe that helps them stand out and differentiate themselves. In particular, she helps her clients convey their own personalities, so that people can easily relate to them and understand who they are. Brisebois uses a Feng Shui approach proven over 6000 years to support people in manifesting what they desire. https://www.wecanstyle.com/
