Are you?

  • New to your role in communications and are like whoa, what did I let myself in for?!
  • A Comm’s leader who feel like you have hit the ceiling and want to develop and grow your tactical and strategic thinking.
  • Feeling over your head in your communications role.
  • You have no systems in place to manage expectations and deliver on the endless number of requests.
  • You are a creative leader who wants to build your communications toolbox.
  • Overwhelmed anymore by flying solo. You want to learn how to build your team by recruiting, training and deploying skilled volunteers into service.

Let me help you overcome your obstacles to achieve your goals.
