"Connecting clients with the audiences who matter most,
one deadline at a time."
I’m more than just a writer. I partner with my clients by offering a range services that bridge the ever-widening gaps between their organizations and their audiences. By being creative and innovative instead of relying on cliche cookie-cutter approaches, my clients gain the confidence to take on today’s bewildering communications challenges.
​
Drawing on editorial and organizational skills that have been built over decades of delivering communications services to public and private sector businesses and individuals, I thrive on helping people genuinely reach the audiences who matter most: their customers, clients, and employees.
"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." - Lao Tzu
my story
On top of a 40-year career as a newspaper journalist, communications professional, facilitator and trainer, I specialize in helping people and organizations identify and achieve their goals by tackling the communications issues that cause them frustration, anxiety, and stress. I take justifiable pride in the progress and success of my many clients from across Canada, and look forward to helping you, your team or your organization deal with a rapidly changing world.
I don't care where you came from ... all that matters to me is where you are going.

​"When played properly, communications is like a chess game. It isn't won in a single move.
Strategy and circumstance contribute to the outcome"
integrated
communications
Great content tells a story and as such, I will weave your story across channels and platforms that include print, editorial, case studies, blog posts, newsletters, info-graphics, brochures, FAQs, PSAs, surveys, polls, digital, webinars, podcasts, emails, news releases and more.
​
If the only tool you have is hammer,
every problem begins to look like a nail.

corporate
communications
More than 70% of all change initiatives end in failure. As the industry grows in depth and breadth, old-school PR is still at the heart of my approach to internal and external communications. I pride myself on understanding my clients’ core business — creating conversations and managing dialogue to deliver key messaging and information. I employ a broad range of innovative media- and public-relations strategies and tools to get your message heard.
Nothing is so simple that it cannot be misunderstood
strategic
planning
This service is a favorite among many of my clients, as it is the cornerstone to being engaged and producing results. Without a comprehensive strategy, there is no way to measure the efficacy of a communications program. I believe that good strategies map goals and objectives to desired outcomes. My job is to give you the tools and techniques to set priorities, to focus time and energy, and to ensure everyone is on the same page. Paired up with extended coaching, it holds people accountable and generates enthusiasm for achieving goals.
And by the way, "hope for the best"
is not a strategy ...
thought
leadership
I like to sculpt thought leadership programs that focus on sharing your and your organization’s unique point of view. Thought leadership extends beyond content creation to encompass 'reputation building' and innovation. I’m constantly searching for opportunities for my clients to tell their stories so that they aren’t just joining the conversation — they’re driving it — through seminars, speeches, op-eds, sponsored content, leadership positioning and more.
