Better communication at work
We've been talking nearly all our lives, but are we really communicating?
How often have you been bored to tears in a meeting?
Wondered why someone younger or older doesn't use email | text | chat | the telephone?
Been frustrated when you thought you were communicating clearly, but the questions, confusion, and results were not what you expected?

An experienced public speaker...who likes helping others find their voices also

Unlike maybe 75% of the population, I enjoy public speaking and sharing actionable ideas. And, I'd love to help you enjoy it too, or at least become more confident and effective at it.
As a media spokesperson I’ve been quoted in several national publications you’d recognize like the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and Morningstar. And in a few you’d have to hunt for, like the local League of Women Voters’ candidates' forum and the Long Grove Village budget.
​
I've chaired conferences, given keynote presentations, led and moderated countless conference calls and webinars, and didn't miss a beat when a panelist spilled water on me during a live video webinar.
I’ve trained and coached professionals preparing for conferences and event presentations as well as helped teams, departments, and groups of Boy Scouts, high school students, and college interns take their speaking and communications to the next level.
