Ever wonder why it’s so hard to communicate at work?

One of the biggest challenges is that there is no one right way to do it. It requires practice and reflection to land on the strategies and styles that work for you.

When I reached the VP level, I was shocked by how much more complex communication got. I went from entry-level individual contributor to strategic collaborator. This shift required me to tailor my message to different audiences, navigate tricky interpersonal dynamics, and exert influence in new ways.

Learning how to tell the business story became the superpower that propelled my career forward. And feeling comfortable communicating helps me genuinely love waking up for work every morning.

In my 20+ career in the banking industry, I’ve seen mid-career professionals fall into a gap. There’s little time or budget for individual coaching, and most off-the-shelf trainings aren’t personalized to tackle your challenges.

You deserve learning that fits your reality and your workweek.

For over a decade, I’ve been helping mid-career corporate professionals fast-track learning the communication strategies that unlock ease, success, and enjoyment.

Through individual coaching, digital skill building experiences for teams, and workplace communication workshops, I turn your real-life situations into learning opportunities. You’ll discover foundational concepts, actionable strategies, and flexible frameworks you can practice in the flow of work and apply throughout your career.

As a corporate professional, I love turning daily discoveries from my own life into lessons that help you grow.

My social channels and resources page are packed with corporate communication tips. You can also go beyond the workplace with me on my podcast, The Opposite of Small Talk, which invites curious minds into conversations about self development. And, on occasion, you’ll get bits of wisdom I’ve gained from my work on non-profit boards in my local community of Wayne, Pennsylvania, where I live with my husband and two daughters.

If you or your team need help learning to communicate with clarity and confidence, let’s talk.
