Coaching & Communication Services

I can support you – and your team – with communication coaching, consulting, tactics, or a combination.
My services fall into these three categories:

 

Coaching to Conquer Communication Insecurity

Poor communication can cost you great employees, valuable teammates, job promotions and important relationships. Strong communication skills build trust, engage team members, help develop employees, enhance collaboration and get results.

Damaging communication practices often have nothing to do with tactics (writing, etc.). Ultimately, they are related to the communicator’s mindset and “communication insecurity,” a form of imposter syndrome.  Even experienced leaders can feel insecure about articulating their vision, leading meetings, delivering presentations, providing feedback and reviews, coaching employees and thinking “on their feet.”

You can become a more articulate, confident, comfortable communicator. Together we can elevate your confidence, messaging and capabilities. We’ll find your communication style and make it work for you.

consulting services: fill your gaps

Do you need help with a specific communication need?

I have more than 30 years of experience in internal communications.  I can produce strategic communication plans, newsletters, change communication toolkits, merger/acquisition communication, benefits communication, shareholder letters, blogs, websites, speeches, and more.

My team of creative associates is “on call” to meet any design or specialty needs. If you need a message or a complete campaign written, edited, polished, outlined, “packaged,” or completely planned – soup to nuts – I’ve got your back.

THE MANAGER-MENTOR-COACH PROGRAM

The most effective leaders can step into different communication roles at various times to relate most effectively with their team members.

When do you need to prescribe actions, or provide wisdom and advice, or take the opportunity to inspire autonomy and innovation?

Each of these roles – manager, mentor, coach – involves a different mindset and a specific kind of conversation. Knowing when and how to conduct each enables maximum outcomes.

Learn  how to adopt the most effective posture for specific interactions to benefit your professional and personal life. Discover the mindset change from manager to coach that often unlocks the most long-term value for productivity and growth.
