It started messy...
...and it definitely included a few, "Squirrel!" moments.
How it started
When I burned out of the corporate world, then severely injured my back, leading to months of incapacitating pain and eventually, surgery, I realized that life is far too short to do work that isn't personally purposeful. (For more about my personal story, see the FAQ "What's your story and what makes you qualified to help me write my book?") I decided to follow my passions: writing, speaking, and coaching others to find and bring their own unique voices to the world, whether on paper or by presenting.
Why work with me?
In the course of my work at companies like PwC and Sage, I project managed and led dozens of successful global, multi-million dollar marketing, sales, go-to-market, and proposal initiatives as we expanded our relationships with Amazon Web Services (AWS) globally. I understand the urgency of wanting to bring your book to fruition in order to help your business grow. My Start Messy, Finish Mighty method is derived from my years of experience in both the corporate world and having been a successful entrepreneur for almost 10 years.
Insightful inquiry means better outcomes. My penchant for asking the right questions means that we'll get to the heart of the message you want to convey to the world faster.
