Speak with empathy, authenticity and purpose
A well-written, thoughtful speech engages minds, inspires hope and motivates people to action. This takes equal parts inspiration, organization and determination. Every word, every line must find its purpose and place. By removing the unnecessary, the message is unmissable. You feel natural in your delivery. You pause in the right places. It sounds like you.
I can help you write the remarks that will be heard, understood and well remembered.
Share ideas clearly, candidly and persuasively
Whether self-publishing on social media or submitting op-eds to legacy media, earning a place in the public conversation means speaking plainly and persuasively.
Your organization is generating knowledge that can shape the future direction of communities and the country. Communicating the earned insights is a form of wayfinding — looking back at where you’ve been, saying what you’ve learned and seeing how much more progress can be achieved. I help leaders and their executive team to distill research and achievements into short, powerful stories of hope and progress.
Articulate the values behind the vision, the humanity within the strategy
Your vision or strategy document must have the weight to be credible without getting bogged down in detail. The words and data should work together to tell stories about human lives — because a document months in the making has only a few minutes to make the right impression on influential audiences.
Strategy and long-form papers are enriched with the knowledge and wisdom of your experts and leadership team. But with multiple contributors, it can read as “written by committee". I revise and realign the content to create a compelling, collective voice that speaks with clarity, compassion and determination to deliver results.
