My Approach

COMMITMENT

Every effective communication has commitment at its heart — your commitment to your audience.

This is true whether you’re having a tough conversation with one other individual, meeting with your team, presenting to senior leadership, or speaking to an audience of hundreds. Your commitment reflects your personal investment in your work and in the communication opportunity, and it’s where we begin.

I’ll help you identity this critical starting point. From there, we’ll work together to build a new approach: rooted in commitment, delivered with authenticity.

CLARITY

Knowledge and expertise are abundant, but clarity is in short supply. That’s why it’s so refreshing when we do encounter it. But in too many settings, information and technical knowledge overwhelm the people we’re trying to connect with.

Truly effective communication happens when we stop worrying about demonstrating our expertise and recognize the power of clear ideas, concisely expressed.

I’ll work with you to identify the messages, themes, and ideas you need to share. And then I’ll help you find powerful ways to describe them in your own voice.

CONFIDENCE

We’ve all felt the pressure associated with an important communication opportunity.

Whether you’re presenting to the Board, navigating a challenging development discussion with a direct report, or making sure your voice is heard at the senior executive table, being able to speak with confidence and poise is critical to your success.

I’ll help you identify the things that get in your way — and together we’ll move past them so that you can speak with authentic and engaging presence. This is a learned skill, not something you’re born with. I’ll introduce you to proven techniques that will equip you to deliver with confidence in every setting.
