Founder & CeoClaxon Sep 2010 - PresentSeattle, Wa, UsAs a keynote speaker, trainer, and coach, I work with hundreds of leaders every year, teaching them how to communicate with clarity and confidence so they can create cultures where people feel included and inspired.Claxon was originally a marketing consultancy that focused on creating messaging for purpose-driven clients. I transitioned the company to focus on communication leadership to be able to serve more people and eliminate as much communication chaos as possible. Why? Because poor communication is costly. And demoralizing. Communicating effectively boosts morale and your bottom line.
