Areas of expertise
Communication
My approach to communication is rooted in a profound understanding of communication as a powerful tool for self-revelation, connection, and transformation. With a PhD focused on building organizational culture through communication and years of practical experience, I have developed comprehensive communication strategies, enhanced executive communication, and managed public relations. My background ensures I can provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each organization, helping to achieve clarity, foster meaningful connections, and drive organizational success.
Organizational culture
Culture is more than just a "sense" or "feeling" when you walk into a room; it is a complex and concrete network of meaning and connection. It is formed by the day-to-day interactions, rituals, and routines that define how people work together, and the shared language that aligns everyone with the organization's goals and values. I believe in fostering genuine connections among team members, helping them to "speak a shared language" of goals and aspirations. My methods emphasize active participation and mutual respect, ensuring that each individual feels valued and aligned with the collective mission.
Purpose
A shared purpose aligns teams, fosters a sense of belonging, and connects the organization to the broader community and world. When everyone in the organization understands and embraces a common purpose, it drives motivation, commitment, and collaboration. With more than a decade of experience in strategy development and articulating purposes that produce social impact, I help organizations create a cohesive vision that guides decision-making and inspires action. This purpose serves as a beacon, directing efforts and resources towards meaningful goals. It not only unites internal teams, but also resonates with external stakeholders, enhancing the organization’s reputation and impact.
Leadership & administration
My extensive experience in leadership and management encompasses a broad range of responsibilities, from developing strategic orientation to the daily oversight of programming, finances, and staff. With a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach, I have successfully developed and implemented policies, procedures, and programming that drive organizational efficiency and growth. My background includes managing large budgets, leading diverse teams, and ensuring the successful execution of organization-wide initiatives. By leveraging my skills in strategic planning, financial oversight, and team leadership, I am committed to delivering results that align with organizational goals and drive sustainable success.
