I’m a receptive multilingual. Supposedly, I’m a linguistic phenomenon. There aren’t many people who can fluently understand a language, but aren't able to speak it. I can. It’s a product of growing up in an immigrant household that spoke mostly Italian. As much as I wished to reply to my nonna (grandma) in a language she could understand, my shyness and self-doubt held me back. So, I spent the first decades of my life unconsciously translating Italian, so I could respond in a mix of mostly English with some Italian sprinkled in. When I wasn’t home, I spent my time translating my mixed-language thoughts into English. This was the perfect breeding ground for my 20+ year career in communications and marketing. It’s why I’m obsessed with audiences, listening intently to the words they use and the stories they tell. It’s also helped me develop this uncanny ability to understand leader speak, corporate jargon, techy talk, and the many complex ideas and concepts that cross industries. All of which I translate by digging beneath the surface to root out the simplest, most relatable messages. Together, I’m able to pinpoint the right stories leaders, founders and businesses need to tell before getting to work on creating the content that’ll connect to the hearts and minds of their audiences – be they internal or external to their business. My translation superpowers form the bedrock foundation of the work we do at Jack Communications. With every project we take on, our goal is always the same: to use content to help leaders, founders and businesses authentically connect with the people that matter most to their business. This way they can achieve their goals, grow their business and bring their vision to life.
