After working for Caribou Coffee Co., she became general manager for Best Buy Corp. at the age of 25 and consulted for some of the nation’s largest corporations before turning 30. She launched Booya!, a global joy movement that offers classes and events, in 2012 and continues to consult, write and work as a motivational speaker.
Soleil has been featured on Fox News and in CEO Magazine as well as numerous other publications.
