I have been active in higher education and corporate communication consulting since the early 1990s, and I teach and work primarily in the MBA Program at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (USA) where I have been since 2004. My courses focus primarily on business writing, public-speaking and business-presentation skills, crisis communication, and global/cross-cultural communication.
I have consulted with a wide variety of public- and private-sector companies, from regional startups to government contractors to Fortune 100 companies. I have been very fortunate to work across the US and to visit or consult with companies in Europe, North Africa, Asia and the Middle East. I received my BA from the University of Maryland, my Masters from Texas A&M, and my PhD from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
I am certified in the International Conflict-Styles Inventory (ISCI), the Intercultural Developmental Inventory (IDI) and, as a licensed partner with Richard Lewis Communications, am a trained and certified coach with the CultureActive communication-style assessment and associated databases. We can, together, use these tools and my years of experience to customize training and consultations that exactly fit any of your communication needs.
Sessions with me, from individual consultations to whole-company presentations, will, absolutely, be high-energy, interactive, instructive and exactly what you and/or your company needs—full of real-world advice, specific and immediately actionable tips and tricks, clear feedback, customized materials and take-aways, and tactics which will, unequivocally, enhance your communication abilities, executive presence and leadership skills.
