What I Do (and what I can do for you)

As a seasoned writer, skilled editor, dynamic presenter, on-air talent, and creative consultant, I bring a whole bag of uniquely honed talents to the table. Here are just a few of the ways we can work together-and if you have other ideas, I’d love to hear them.

Got an upcoming event?

You name it: fundraiser, luncheon, networking group, motivational seminar, expo, weekend retreat, seminar. I’m often asked what I “can talk about.” I’d like to turn that around on you and ask you: What would you like your guests and attendees to walk out of your event thinking and feeling? What are they there to do and ready to hear? I can promise an informative, entertaining, thoughtful, and fresh take on the topic at hand.

In addition to being a presenter myself, I also can curate and/or moderate an event featuring a panel of experts hand-picked with your specific event and audience in mind.

Need an expert?

Having studied, written about, and interviewed top names in the field of healthy living for nearly a decade, I have distilled the best and latest information on a host of topics, including health and wellness, fitness, relationships, lifestyle, psychology, stress reduction, and more. I’ve interviewed top experts in all these fields, but I’ve also been featured on major national media to speak to them myself as well. Take a look at some recent TV appearances.

And if I don’t think I’m a good fit for your needs, I am pretty sure I know someone who is.

Need a writer? Editor? Soothsayer?

I won’t say I can read your mind, but I do have a knack for taking half-formed ideas and crystalizing them in a way that makes them easier to use and explore. I can help put into words exactly the thing you want to say, but are having trouble saying. And as a seasoned magazine editor, I can take existing copy and transform it. But perhaps even more valuable is my ability to draw out of you what it is you think you want to get across, but aren’t sure how. I can then help you turn your ideas into content that you can use, sell, and evolve to move your own business, brand, or career forward.

Looking to grow your brand?

As you know, it’s not just about selling something anymore; it’s about standing for something. How do you make that jump, from mere transaction (business) to a higher level of engagement and recognition with your client or consumer (brand)? To turn what you have into something that people will look for, relate to, engage with, trust? And then, how do you get people to talk about it?

Twitter? Facebook? Well, yes and no. Tools are just that-tools. Without an intent, a purpose, and a goal, all the digital gadgetry in the world won’t be worth much-any more than having a phone makes you a good conversationalist.

As a creative consultant and content & media strategist, I’d like to help you rethink your approach to brand-with an eye on media opportunities. I’ve been on both sides of the pitch, and I have a pretty good idea of what editors and producers want. I can help you package and present your ideas to them in a language they’re receptive to.

Do you have an upcoming appearance that’s making you break out in hives?

I can also coach you to present your ideas to the media, clients, or a live audience, whether you’re an expert, author, or anyone else with something to say. Maybe it’s time for you to take on a more public role with your brand or business and you’re starting to sweat just thinking about it. A few sessions with me and you’ll feel grounded in your own ideas and ready to share them with the world.
