Got a communication problem at work?
Let me help you fix it.

I offer tailored training and coaching on business, professional, and workplace communication. My primary areas of specialization are written and visual communication, with secondary specializations in presentation skills and oral communication.

In the past, I’ve worked with clients ranging from forensic scientists at a public-sector laboratory to the sales team for a multinational cruise line. I’d love the opportunity to work with your organization, too.

Read on for information about my consultation process, areas of specialization, and pricing.

Consultation process

If you’ve got a communication problem at work, contact me to schedule a free, initial, 30-minute consultation. During that meeting, I’ll ask questions about your organization’s communication challenges then provide a provisional outline of how I would address those challenges in a training and/or coaching session. I’ll also ask about the amount of time you can allocate to training and/or coaching, as well as the size of your target audience.

If you like what you hear, I’ll submit a written proposal and, pending your approval, begin developing materials for your organization’s training or coaching session. If you’d prefer to take your business elsewhere, the initial, 30-minute consultation entails no formal commitment.

I will gladly provide workshop-based training sessions for audiences of any size. However, for logistical reasons, I must limit my coaching (i.e. custom feedback on individuals’ written and/or oral communication) to participant groups of 30 or fewer.

Areas of specialization

While I will gladly research and provide training on (virtually) any topic related to business, professional, and workplace communication, I specialize in the the following topics:

  • Efficient, everyday workplace writing
  • Translational communication (i.e. translating specialized / technical information into plain language)
  • Leadership / managerial communication
  • AI-assisted workplace writing
  • Persuasive messaging strategies
  • Meeting management strategies
  • Strategies for navigating difficult conversations
  • Intercultural / intergenerational communication
  • Visual communication / document design strategies

Pricing

My pricing model is simple. I charge a flat-rate hourly fee for training workshops and a flat-rate fee per head for individualized coaching.

My hourly fee for training workshops covers client consultation, topical research, content development, presentation rehearsal, and presentation delivery. My fee per head for individualized coaching covers the time and labor required to review and provide feedback on clients’ written and/or oral communication.

During our initial consultation, I’ll be happy to discuss both of these flat-rate fees.
