I help business leaders and their teams communicate more confidently, and effectively to win business, motivate supporters, and expand their influence.
I Am Going Back To School.? And It Both Terrifies And Thrills Me.
For many, September is a time of new beginnings.? A new school year, a return to work after a vacation, or the planning and budgeting for the next year.?
My new beginning is starting a Masters in Liberal Arts. at?St. John's College?in Annapolis to read The Great Books. For most of my career and especially running a communications consultancy, I have been in a teaching role:
So now after decades of being in the “real world”?why would I want to shift roles and go back to reading lists, writing essays, and attending classes? Because the older I get, the less I understand. And because I know that you should never stop learning.
In today’s world, where we struggle with big questions around Artificial Intelligence and the future of humankind, a global epidemic of loneliness, and deep social and political upheaval, the best way to grapple with these issues and the questions they raise is by going back to the wisdom of the Great Books.
I look forward to the insights, fellowship, and deep conversations this experience is bound to bring and how I will grow from it and maybe have new perspectives to benefit my communications consulting clients.
It's never too late for a new beginning. Here’s to lifelong learning!

The Clueless Messenger
It mystifies me how even the smartest people have clueless messenger syndrome, an inability, to get their point across effectively, leading to lost opportunities for business, investments, or donations. These leaders and their teams churn out social media posts, advertising copy, and video content with messages that don’t land.

To express value, we first have to hit the pause button, step back, and take the time to understand what our audiences need or desire most.
It might reveal tough truths that are hard to hear, but we need to embrace these insights to improve and learn how to effectively communicate our value.
Communication is the glue that ties people together,?and when people are working together,? you can grow your enterprise.
