Over the last 25 years I’ve been helping organizations and their leaders understand, engage + collaborate with key internal and external stakeholders to move their shared interests, priorities and relationships forward in a win-win-win way.My secret weapon is my Mental Modeling Insight™ Practitioner certification. It allows me to apply behavioural science principles, methods and tools to help my clients better understand and engage with their stakeholders.This approach informs better policy, strategy and communication decisions. That means my clients and I move beyond vague notions of “building awareness” to achieving real behavioural outcomes from specific actions that help organizations do good and do well.I’ve had the pleasure of helping a broad range of private, public and non-governmental clients leverage strategic insights and communications when and where it mattered - from hyper-local to the world-stage, in good times and bad.Sometimes I help clients build their own communication systems, processes, policies and tools, and hone their natural communications skills through training and coaching.Other times I quarterback important announcements and corresponding media interviews, or interview stakeholders myself to understand what influences their judgement, decision making and behaviour on a topic of strategic importance to a client.I’ve also spent many late evenings and long weekends counselling and supporting clients through potential and actual crises and, in peacetime, we’ve built and pressure tested their issue response management programs.I’m an inconsistent bag of meat, but here are the values that guide how I think, speak and act: empathy, integrity, objectivity, fairness, collaboration, trust and proper use of capital letters.These values frame my analytical and communication instincts and experiences. That makes me a formidable stakeholder engagement strategist, advisor, coach, storyteller and system developer.Reach out to me here on LinkedIn and let’s discuss your situation or opportunity.Client-sector experience-Arts and culture-Energy utilities-Financial services-Food and beverage-Government-Health and wellness-Natural resources-NGOs and associations-Professional services-Public and independent education-Pharmaceuticals-Real estate development-Telecommunications
