Your organization’s message gets lost in the noise because you're trying to talk to everyone instead of talking to the people that matter to your issues. 

​

I help you create strategic communications plans that reach your most important audiences, decision-makers, supporters, and community members, with messages they actually care about. And, I help you align it all with your broader organizational strategy.

 

When your communications plan and your organizational strategy are aligned, you’re working smarter and reaching the right people. The sky’s the limit. 

Dealing with reporters feels intimidating, and you're not sure how to deliver your message without saying the wrong thing. You want to get coverage for your issue, but you're worried about going off-message or freezing at a critical moment.

I teach you how to handle media interviews with confidence, deliver your key messages clearly, and keep the focus on the issues that matter most to your campaign. You'll learn practical techniques that help you stay on track during interviews and turn every media opportunity into a chance to advance your cause.

When you can speak confidently about your cause, every interview becomes an opportunity to build support and advance your mission.

You're scrambling to get critical communications out the door, leading to missed opportunities and muddled messaging. Long gaps between outreach mean your most passionate supporters might shift their attention and resources elsewhere.

​

I help you create manageable, realistic advocacy campaign plans that start with educating your audience about why your issue matters, then guide them step-by-step toward taking meaningful action. We weave these into your existing communications strategy so you're working smarter.

​

You'll get practical roadmaps that keep the drumbeat on your issue and create the sustained pressure decision-makers can't ignore without overwhelming your team. 

​

When you have a clear campaign plan that works with your capacity, your community can become a powerful movement for change.

You think you need a big organization and paid lobbyists to change policy. But that's not true. Your organization might not consider itself "political,” yet advocating for your mission isn't about politics; it's about making your community's life better.

Decision-makers ignore your issue because they don't understand why it matters. Or because no one's made it impossible for them to keep ignoring it. I help you create realistic policy advocacy campaign plans that identify the right decision-makers, the right timing, and the right pressure points to get results with the resources you have.

You'll get step-by-step strategies that work with your team’s capacity and turn your community's passion into the sustained pressure that creates real policy wins.

 

When you have a clear policy plan that builds on your strengths, even small organizations can achieve big victories without lobbyists or political games.

Policy advocacy moves fast. New legislation drops, public opposition emerges, decision-makers suddenly move on your issue, or an unexpected opportunity opens up that you need to capitalize on immediately. Your team is overwhelmed, and you need experienced support right now.

With 25 years of nonprofit communications and advocacy experience, I can step in quickly to help you assess the situation, develop rapid response strategies, and provide hands-on support. 

When the stakes are high and time is short, you need someone who's navigated these waters before and can keep you on course.

You’re second-guessing yourself and not sure if you're on the right track. Sometimes you don't need someone to do the work. You need someone who's been in the trenches to help you think it through.

​

Through regular one-on-one sessions, you get a trusted sounding board who understands the unique pressures of nonprofit communications and advocacy work. I help you navigate challenges and make strategic decisions with confidence.
