Taylor S. Drake

Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Taylor has built her career on being the dynamic force of brand awareness and communication with a focus on developing and executing initiatives that drive company strategy for client acquisition, growth, and profitability. Taylor started her career by creating and managing events in the international music industry out of London, England; meaning she can literally throw a party like a rock star. She specializes in reframing work experiences as life lessons and breaking glass ceilings. Outside of the office, Taylor is a dedicated doggy mom who is always finding a new way to balance a busy schedule with a strict brunch routine.

Taylor has been a great coach over the years. She helped me prepare for an interview a few years back and even more recently coached me through asking for a significant raise which I got. In our calls, she is regularly pointing out the things I am good at and skills that I have that somehow help my worries and self-doubt disappear. I specifically remember the feeling of "I am woman hear me roar" after a call with her! Taylor is amazing and will create a plan with you and make sure that you exceed your goals. Check her out!

Jessica Taylor, Associate Director, Non-Profit Sector
The pandemic brought a lot of hardship in 2020. Like many others I lost my job and with the job market in shambles, I needed to get creative. For the first time in my life I decided to start my own business. This of course brought along a new set of exciting challenges. Navigating through all the twists and turns of developing a business plan proved to be very difficult and Bluestocking Society was instrumental in helping me develop it and see it through fruition. I had support, an open ear to listen to me, and plenty of actionable feedback to keep me on track. With the guidance I got from Bluestocking Society, I was able to see actual results in a really short time. I’m so happy to have found the support and services offered by Bluestocking Society and am still an active and thriving client today.

Napa Nuts ran as a successful and profitable family business for almost 3 decades... until the pandemic. Once the pandemic hit, Napa Nuts was in need of some professional help. We sought out Bluestocking Society based on the recommendation of a friend who had some success with their service. We were placed with Taylor who was AMAZING! She helped us analyze our strengths, and eventually make a mild shift to better serve individuals as our business customers were fading. The shift has helped us weather this pandemic and make a ton of new fans for life. Taylor had a way of working with us that made us see the strengths we already had and didn't realize. We highly recommend Taylor and Bluestocking Society for small businesses who need a helpful set of fresh eyes to unlock their full potential.

Taylor is well organized, extremely knowledgeable and giving of her time and expertise, which span too far to list. At pivotal points in one's career, she is a solid sounding board. Taylor not only helps to curate directional ideas, but implements them into actionable movement.

A few years ago I decided to take a big leap and begin working for myself. I had been hosting trivia in bars for a number of years and I decided to make that my full-time job. Everything was going fine until COVID-19 hit and all the bars and restaurants shut down and I had to convert to a 100% virtual platform. Enter Taylor Drake. She arranged an event to introduce me to a number of clients and let me show them what I could do! Through word of mouth, her introduction strategy and referrals have turned into many gigs for me...and counting. Thanks to Taylor, a lot of doors have opened up to me and I know my business can grow.
