Sometimes it helps to have someone along the path with you. When you don't know where to start, and the opportunity seems overwhelming, a simple process that enables you to visualize a path to success is exactly what you need.

I have found over the years that having someone alongside when you're grappling with critical decisions, planning out a new strategic vision or solving a complex communications challenge can be vital to your success.

Busy people find it difficult to step away from the day-to-day tasks of the business to work on the business, not just in the business. I focus on your outcomes, your objectives, what are the ideals factors that define success. Together we understand the value that this success brings to the organization. I've found that being specific during this planning phase helps as we move along the path. Finally, we decide how we're going to measure our progress. What will we be able to point to and know that we're achieving the goals

Whether you are building out a new division, thinking about a content strategy, wanting to get better connected to your audiences, or want help in developing an AI that will empower your workforce, we can help.

I had the great pleasure of working with Mark recently in making a podcast for 805 Conversations. I am impressed with Mark’s constant energy and enthusiasm for each topic, his insight in delving into the issues in an engaging and informed manner, and his utter delight at discussing each point. His wealth of experiences, great appreciation for our region, and joie de vivre make his podcasts a joy to record and a wonder to hear. The resulting podcast is stunning, with no lags anywhere in it, and keeping the listener engaged in the subject, learning much along the way.

See What You Think


Frequently you need someone along an unknown path to guide you. Think of me as your sherpa. Most likely I've been down the same path, whether it's how you better connect with your community and those around you,  tell your story so more people hear your message or figure which foot to put in front of the other as you embark on a new journey. As we say before we step onto the stage, "I got your back."

Begin with a breath


Neuroscience tells us that when you center yourself and take a breath, you create a space where your brain can make good, clean decisions.

Dive in and Discover


When faced with a challenge or opportunity, spending time capturing the simple, who - what - when - where - how of the situation is vital for success.

Cluster the Chaos


We'll collaboratively chunk the results of discovery into manageable groups. This step helps us find gaps and missing pieces at the same time.

Image

MAKE A MAP


This step creates a path, a roadmap to the expected goal or outcome. Visually putting each item on the path and setting up milestones makes the journey real.

Get up and Go


To reach your goal, you need to commit to taking the first step and celebrating. Then commit to the next step and so on. Sounds easy, and maybe the most challenging of the steps.

"Once you have mastered a technique, you hardly need look at a recipe again and can take off on your own."

Let's have a Conversation.

I find that it's much easier for us to have a quick call to find out how I can help you. To set one up, just let me know how to contact you and a note about what you'd like to talk about. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.

If you need me quicker, add "URGENT" in the notes.
