Provide authentic messaging and clear, compelling, and engaging communications content in order to inform, educate, and create positive impact reactions.
I take pride in being direct and transparent in my work. It’s my goal to manage expectations in such a way as there are never any unpleasant surprises, unexpected costs, or gross time extensions of work if at all possible … to address and find solutions for any red flags/challenges/obstacles that appear in a timely and calmly direct manner.
I want to be present and truly hear the needs, wants, goals, and objectives of the company/organization in order to ensure that my work, professional advice, and team dynamics best serve the mission and immediate business/culture needs.
I strive to create concise, clear, and accessible communications. A communications strategy and plan is useless unless the intended audience receives and absorbs it, so the goal is to present the information in such a way that is it not only received, it’s done so eagerly and creates impact and/or action.
I value compassion and kindness in all interactions. When working with colleagues, staff, partners, employees, vendors, and the public, I honor and respect that everyone’s perspective and experience are different and bring value to the conversation. I strive to treat everyone with whom I work with compassion and kindness – especially in times of stress.
My desire is to consistently bring creativity and innovation to the work I do, to always be looking for new and/or better ways of doing something or conveying a message. To always look for the creative insight that might open up paths and doors to either an existing audience or invite in new.
I always want to remain open to new learning experiences and opportunities for change and growth without allowing dogmatic allegiance to “that’s how we’ve always done it” stand in the way.
I am an avid supporter of diverse and inclusive organizations and policies and task myself to take learning moments when they arrive to further my own knowledge and ability to be a helpful ally and advocate while creating a team culture that celebrates what each individual brings to the workplace table.
