“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.”
Albert Einstein
Do you have to give a keynote speech at an important conference and you know what you want to say, but you're not sure how to best get the point across and make the impact you intend? I can help you build a story your audience will remember — and help you deliver it with the right intonation and body language.
Do you have an interview with a journalist and want to be well-prepared? I can help you think through the message you want to convey and how to handle tricky questions. We can even practise the interview together so you go in with confidence.
Do you want to submit an opinion piece to a newspaper on an issue you think people need to know about? I can help you structure your argument for maximum impact, or edit the whole piece before you submit it.
Do you want to increase your visibility as an expert in your field — for example when applying for a scholarship or a new position? I can help you develop a personal visibility strategy or give feedback on plans you already have. We can work together once or over a longer period of time.
These are just a few examples. If you have another challenge where you'd benefit from the feedback of a communications expert, get in touch and we'll explore the options together. I'll always offer an obligation-free quote before we start.

Four tools for every challenge
Whatever your communication challenge, I draw on four core instruments to find the right solution.
Storytelling
Storytelling is an excellent way to reach different audiences. A well-told story creates connection, memory and trust — across any discipline or background.
Connecting
Some of the best ideas arise from collaboration — especially multidisciplinary ones. Bringing together different stakeholders and perspectives can give any project new energy and direction.
Innovating
The most common request is: 'make a press release and a website.' Sometimes that's enough — but often a more innovative mix of tools works better. The right story, in the right form, at the right time, through the right channel.
Imagining
Text is powerful, but an image is often more powerful still. Express your message with a photo, video, infographic or metaphor. In Einstein's words: 'Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.'
