Master the ART of Confident
Communication

Every day, I get to help leaders and rising leaders like you communicate better—and I love it. As Management – Communication faculty and department director at Rice University’s business school, I teach strategic communication to MBA students and oversee the program. Students appreciate how I help them transform their communication — and their confidence.

As an executive coach and speaker, I have helped thousands of professionals — established and rising leaders — uplevel their communication. Clients praise my practical, actionable strategies for executive presence, impromptu speaking, personal branding, presenting, networking, interpersonal communication, and persuasion. My clients have ranged from large organizations like Accenture, Conoco Phillips, Goldman Sachs, and KPMG, to mid-sized organizations and startups.

The ART of Communication

I help professionals master the ART of communication by supercharging how they Appear, Relate, and Talk.

Appear: Not only personal style, but virtual backgrounds, body language, written documents, and all other “visual” communication.

Relate: Interpersonal communication of all kinds, including face-to-face and virtual interactions, both one-on-one and in groups.

Talk: Words (spoken and written), customized and delivered effectively to different audiences

My practical, research-based, three-part system triggers both right-brain and left-brain learning. Clients learn (left-brain) rules for effective communication and (right-brain) creative best practices to implement the learning. Clients use my system to improve skills like communicating confidence, giving feedback, leading, persuading, and speaking publicly.
