Marrying two of my passions - storytelling and strategy, I use communications to help organizations achieve their goals and grow their impact. After more than 20 years, my approaches to strategic communications continue to evolve as I gain new experiences and develop new skills. Still, they are grounded in four core functions that remain constant – engaging effectively with stakeholders; cultivating compelling, authentic brands; developing high-performing internal cultures; and building digital media and data systems that nurture relationships and measure performance.My success is fuelled by my core purpose to build hope and enthusiasm for a better future for all. This drives my communications work as well as my approach to leadership, which places priority on building consultative working environments in which team diversity is not only sought but thoughtfully managed to achieve better outcomes. My expertise includes: - Communications planning- Strategy development- Media relations- Digital / social media strategy- Digital media analytics- Crisis communications- Issues management- Content development- Integrated marketing communications- Customer service support systems- Team leadership- Brand development- Environmental communicationsIf your organization wants to grow its impact, and you are looking for a strategist and team leader to help with any or all of these, please contact me.
