The Art and Science of Leadership - I help people communicate and lead effectively by drawing on their full range of talents, experiences, and education. I do that in two ways: for my students at NYU Stern School of Business, where I'm a Clinical Associate Professor, and for emerging leaders, entrepreneurs and corporations as a coach, consultant, speaker, and facilitator. Our ability to connect and communicate and collaborate with others is critical to our success. We're awash in information and distracted from building relationships with each other by our increasingly complex lives. If we improve our ability to work effectively with others, it will give us a distinct advantage in the marketplace. That's what I help people do.Years of experience and education in both the arts and business have given me a profound respect for the power of stories, both to engage and inspire others, and to empower ourselves as well. The Leadership Presence model, which I've developed over the last 10+ years, helps people become more :--Mindfully present--Emotionally aware of one's self and others--Fully open and ready to say 'Yes, and...' to what the world brings us, and--Viscerally engaged in the potential of every meaning-filled moment.Specialties: Business communications training - public speaking, writing, interpersonal communications, leadership training and team building, capital markets communications, crisis communications, operations management, corporate planning, public relations, business planning, mediation training, and social media marketing
