A former spokesperson and television host, I energetically engage with audiences on how to best advance their organizations, connect with media, survive and emerge from a crisis, anticipate issues and engage with stakeholders. My practical work as an organizational leader and consultant coupled with my academic experience is diverse as I work with businesses, global organizations, nonprofits, government organizations, law enforcement and colleges and universities. I enjoy serving as a speaker and then talking with attendees during breakout sessions. I am available to speak with small teams and large audiences. Having served in senior leadership positions, I also provide executive coaching services.
