Can you describe who you are and what you do, so that it truly connects with stakeholders? Are you clear on your “audience,” and the best tools for reaching them - from storytelling to data and beyond?

My workshops have helped teams clarify goals and values, reimagine research & evaluation, pursue new partnerships, understand data, craft better messaging… and much more.
