About Me

Welcome,
This is a conversation about life - our life together as a civil society, and getting life together as contributing individuals. 

My passion is effective communications and storytelling – ah yes, they’re one and the same.

I have 35+ years of organizational and leadership communications’ experience – writing, coaching, and facilitating strategic planning in large corporations, small businesses and non-profit organizations. I help leaders determine "who, what, why, where, when and how" to communicate with a variety of audiences. 

I also enjoy exploring my own stories by journaling, blogging and writing mysteries. Who’d have thought drafts of old speeches, written years ago for corporate executives, would provide fodder for a new mystery? Or those business trips to Istanbul, Turkey and Novosibirsk, Siberia, as a presenter at Global Leadership Forums, might inspire another?

Life together is full of mysteries, some of us feel just a bit clueless once in a while. 

Finding the clues may mean changing the way we view things. What better way to put that in practice than by sharing thoughtful ideas and well-chosen words? I hope you'll join me often on Life Together. 


Thoughts become things. Choose the best ones.
