Writing and Advancing Justice
To foster greater equity, it is critical that diverse voices are heard and included in the dialogue. Whether it is press materials, web content, an opinion piece, social media, or advocacy campaigns, I am an agile writer who tells each client’s story in uniquely compelling ways. As an experienced communications professional, I pair words and images with marketing strategies to increase reach and influence. Progressive organizations offer more than rhetoric; they offer reality. Working together, we debunk myths using facts.
Leadership Development
As a thought partner and Leadership Coach, I help clients identify core competencies, explore new self-awareness strategies, and create new opportunities to achieve greater productivity, strengthen teams, and build institutional cultures. Trained in tools developed by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Korn Ferry, I work confidentially to foster and grow each client’s essential leadership presence and impact.
Strategic Communications
A strategic communications plan strengthens and solidifies your reputation and impact as a leader. I have experience conceiving and implementing initiatives that leverage each client’s unique expertise and mission. Plans can encompasses a range of tactics, including press strategies, social media, opinion pieces, fundraising campaigns, and message development. I also work with clients to assess their communications capacity, analyze key audiences, deepen fundraising strategies and donor outreach, develop executive leadership and staff talent, and build greater synergy between communications and fundraising. Having media trained spokespeople, including individuals and organizations in the throes of rapid-response communications crises, I work in partnership to help clients navigate press both proactively and reactively.
Program Development & Expansion
Program development, expansion and management require strategic planning and strong leadership. I have extensive experience turning ideas into action, managing relationships, building collaborations, and managing projects. To generate new initiatives, we engage in a thoughtful and active strategic process where creativity flourishes. In an era when funders seek to maximize and measure their investments, I help clients define outcomes and convey impact. As a result, programs evolve and endure — and deadlines are met and deliverables are achieved.
