I operate in a world that often involves two things most people hate - public speaking and being on camera. That's why I approach any coaching or training engagement with a deep sense of compassion and a heavy dose of cheerleading. My goal is to help people feel confident sharing their ideas and authentic selves - whether they are speaking from a stage, through a webcam or across the boardroom table. I began teaching business professionals how to be effective on-camera communicators long before "Zoom" was a verb, translating my experience as an Emmy-award winning broadcast journalist and on-camera spokesperson into a methodology based upon the MVPs of On-Camera Success™. My work quickly expanded into being able to present with impact and influence across any platform - in-person, on-camera or through virtual communication tools.In recent years, much of my work has focused on professional presence for leaders and emerging leaders along with a prolific collaboration with Dr. Joe Allen, one of the world's foremost meeting scientists. Together, we've written three award-winning books: "Suddenly Virtual"; "Suddenly Hybrid"; and "Running Effective Meetings for Dummies."I've been quoted as a thought leader by a plethora of prestigious media outlets, including Inc. Magazine, Fast Company, Business Insider, CNN and Forbes, and was named "An Author Who Inspires Us" by McKinsey and Co.Specialties: - Professional Presence - Own the Room whether it's a virtual or physical one- Powerful Presentations - Speak with Impact and Influence- Managing the Modern Meeting - Making meetings WORK, not waste time- Virtual Communication Expert for the Enterprise
