I have developed communications strategies and coached leaders for three decades. That work has helped businesses and people grow, change and deliver bottom-line results. My clients include the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), American Century Investments, specialty insurer and reinsurer AXIS, Carr Lane Manufacturing and non-profits like the Harry S. Truman Library Institute. Leaders and colleagues. Leaders and executives value my clear strategic thinking, energizing leadership, and calm focus during change and crisis.

Before starting my business, I created the Lockton brand and communications team from scratch, helping Lockton transform a $400 million U.S. firm in 2006 into a $1.5 billion global insurance broker in just 12 years. At GE, I created and developed the brand and communications team that guided Employers Reinsurance through the devastation of 9/11, drove a multi-billion dollar financial turnaround and rebranded the company as GE Insurance Solutions.

Coaching leaders, developing clear messages and driving change is key to my approach to culture. My work helped Lockton earn the Best Places to Work in Insurance award 10 years in a row, Forbes Best Employers three years in a row, and two J.D. Power Awards for client satisfaction.

Crisis communications is a specialty. For decades, I've helped leaders successfully navigate change, challenge and criticism. My background as a TV news reporter and producer gives me a newsroom insider’s perspective on preparing leaders for their moment in the spotlight.

My firm is based in Kansas City, and I am a proud University of Missouri School of Journalism alum.
