Founder & Leadership Navigator at Felecia Ward Marketing

Monroe Township , United States

Felecia Ward is a Fortune 100 Marketing Communications Strategist, Leadership Keynote Speaker, and Executive Coach who has spent 35+ years proving that the right narrative — delivered to the right audience at the right moment — can transform how the world sees an individual, an institution, or an idea. From orchestrating a landmark two-part TIME Magazine cover series on the School District of Philadelphia, to advising C-suite executives at Wells Fargo, Simon Property Group, and Absolut Spirits Company, to rebuilding her own career four times after layoffs, Felecia brings hard-won wisdom — not theory — to every conversation about leadership visibility and influence. Through her proprietary Strategic Leadership Visibility Framework™, she equips leaders with the voice, authority, and strategic clarity to transform their expertise into recognized industry impact. Felecia does not just teach visibility. She has lived it, lost it, rebuilt it, and mastered it.

She serves as an "Authority Architect," a trusted senior advisor, spokesperson, and reputation management consultant to C-Level executives and dignitaries. Ward utilizes the SLVF and her dual coaching certifications in Neuroscience and Navigating Transitions Intelligence (TQ) to assist 'Servant Executives' in effectively managing leadership transitions that establish, enhance, and elevate their thought leadership.

Her mission is to generate more equitable, transformative, and purpose-driven industry thought leaders.

Ward is a Forbes Councils' ForbesBLK Member, Board President and founding member H.R.-4U, a non-profit equitable employment advocacy and three-time recipient of Candid's Platinum Transparency award (2022-2024), and Amazon Best Selling author of "How to Break the Glass Ceiling and Still Keep it Nice.”

She is also a 3x LinkedIn Top Voice designee: Top Thought Leadership Voice, Top Team Builder Voice , and Top Mindfulness designations.
