Writing and Editing - I specialize in clear, compelling, precise straight talk.  I can conform to your established style and tone or develop a new one for you.  If written consistency is a major concern, I can create an Editorial Stylebook for you to include with your Brand Guidelines. The advantage of going with me is that in addition to being a writer and editor, I'm a seasoned business person.

Creative Strategies -  When it comes to business, the best strategists are also effective tacticians.  My creativity is tempered by practicality and resourcefulness.

Devil's Advocate - As the saying goes, "Measure twice, cut once."  If you'd feel more secure having an outsider "measure" your idea, plan or product through a fresh set of eyes, and subject it to a stringent and thought-provoking "What if...?" session, a Devil's Advocate Consultation may prove a very effective, economical option.

  1. 4 GOOD REASONS TO CONTACT ME ABOUT TRAINING/COACHING:

2.)  YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOUR STAFF SOUNDS ON THE PHONE.

3.)  YOU HAVE EMPLOYEES YOU'D LIKE TO PROMOTE, BUT THEIR COMMUNICATION SKILLS AREN'T POLISHED ENOUGH.

4.)  YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR AN UPCOMING PRESENTATION.

FUNdamental Question:


Are you so comfortable with the status quo that change seems daunting?


Sometimes success requires opening that proverbial can of worms!


  2. A Devil's Advocate Consultation is

  3. a Reality Check from an Outsider.


  5. The goal is to offer a candid general impression, look for both actual and potential deficiencies, and bring up things you may not have considered.

  6. My operative mindset during this process is "...everything that can go wrong just might..." You'll be asked the question "What if...?" many times.


  8. Beyond our discussion, the deliverable is a report with feedback, suggestions, research and ideas.  I do my best to identify more than just the problems that I know how to fix. 


  10. Sometimes a Devil's Advocate is your strongest ally.

 


Explain, convince, motivate and teach for success!
