My name is Lainey Odette. I am a multi-potentialite with a multi-industry background in corporate learning, operations, recruiting, and events. With 20+ years of diverse experience, I bring a collection of skills to my work that leverage both left- and right-brain talents. I am:
- Masterful in my ability to execute tasks to bring vision to life.
- Adept at assessing challenges and needs, then driving towards a target objective.
- Skilled in balancing the use of technical tools and the intuition of the human mind.
- Passionate about endeavors that call upon the powers of technology, organization, storytelling, and transformative visuals.
- Excited to contribute to the goals and responsible growth of an extraordinary business like yours.
I started my OBM business because I wanted to use all my talent and experience in a single role, rather than put aside something I love to do because there is no corporate function for a “Jill-of-All-Trades”.
As a human…
I am dedicated to helping people live their best lives through authenticity, self-care, and the power of technology.
In my journey, I have studied entrepreneurship, data analytics and visualization, graphic design, blogging, web design and development, user experience design, digital art, pattern design, library science, and nutrition. I’m a little obsessed with learning.
I have run a blog and an Etsy shop. The blog was about living an authentic life and my Etsy shop (with blog) sold digital products dedicated to mindful productivity. My favorite part in both was running the business!
Where to start? I strive to live an extranormal life. It’s not extraordinary and it’s not abnormal… it’s extranormal! (What?) I kind of do my own thing and live my own way. Square peg in a round hole world. Also, while I am risk-averse, I also tend to do some wild and crazy things in the spirit of adventure.
I have lived in eight states encompassing both coasts and the Midwest. I currently love living in gorgeous upstate South Carolina and embracing a slow, southern lifestyle. (Feel free to join me on my porch! I’ve got a hammock chair calling your name.)
I have traveled on three continents. In my adventures, I have eaten termites and guinea pig. I honestly like escargot and sweetbreads. I hope to move to Europe or South America, where I’ll eventually retire.
My rescue chihuahua, Lulu, is unashamedly my best friend.
Things I love that are not my dog:
- Listening to audiobooks (I read at least three books a week)
- Food and wine (bliss!)
- Organizing and decorating
- Yoga and meditation
- Biking, hiking, walking, camping, sailing
- Getting out into nature, fresh air and sunshine
- Travel (domestic and abroad)
- Puzzles (Charles Wysocki puzzle obsessed)
- Making homemade limoncello
- Movies and television (especially British television)
- Cooking (prep is my favorite!)
- Clothes and outfits (I even use an app to organize everything I own, like in Clueless)
- Living room karaoke

I truly am a balance of an introspective, quiet introvert and a bubbly, faux-extrovert (when I’m with my people!) I have no fear of public speaking and I love performing and being on stage (acting/singing).
I am a bit of a nerd. My favorite book genre is magical fantasy. I love movies and television based on comic books or magic. I use Excel in my personal life and love it.
In the spirit of authenticity, I must disclose that all the images of me on this site were created using AI. It’s amazing what technology can accomplish! And I make a pretty fantastic warrior (pictured right), don’t I?
I’d like to start a YouTube channel and/or podcast. I love the idea of combining content production (the tech side) and helping others to grow and shine (the people side)!
