corporate communications.
reduce complexity and save time and effort by simplifying your communications.
corporate communications – communications consultancy to help you find new ways to communicate, internally and externally. Get your scientific, technical or tricky topics into people’s heads so they know, feel and do something different.
communications coaching – individual sessions that enable professionals to think, write and speak clearly, with less effort.
writing and editing – extracting and distilling information from experts to turn it into easily-digested text or scripts that can be used in emails, websites, articles, voiceovers, ads etc
I can ghostwrite (write for someone, in their voice) and coach writers who want to produce a book that supports their expertise.
speaking – presenting information about your topic or organisation in a (respectfully) humorous, engaging and memorable way.
communications consultancy
I tailor my approach to suit an organisation and the sensitivity of its internal or external communications challenges. I’ll be looking for ways to immediately improve productivity by reducing unnecessary effort and provide clarity about how to reach your audiences.
Clients engage me to:
define a relatable human voice for corporate comms
create streamlined communication processes that comply with legislation and regulations
produce processes their teams are willing to follow, such as illustrated decision trees showing when to choose different forms of communication, sample documents, templates or scripts
help their staff members agree on methods of review/feedback to expedite document writing and approval processes.
communications coaching for individuals
Professional development while working on real work projects gives learners practical skills they’ll have for life, and results in a professionally edited document.
These sessions cover all the communication-related challenges someone might face while working in a corporate environment:
how to get started.
getting clear guidance when you’re unclear.
taming technology.
pulling information together from multiple sources.
managing feedback from multiple people.
developing your own style of organising your thoughts, structuring information and checking for sense.
Delivery
Four or more one-on-one one-hour video or phone sessions, usually a week apart. (We can negotiate on the number of sessions.)
We’ll work on your documents together using a simple on-screen collaboration tool.
Format: A 20 minute meeting call, then four 1-hour phone/video sessions, with editing and feedback between sessions

My points of difference
I’m a skilled writer and editor with 20+ years of experience.
I take a pragmatic approach and begin by getting clear about what you’re writing and who it’s for – it’s possible that writing isn’t the best way to reach your particular audience.
I have experience in a range of different industries and professions and can offer suggestions for unusual and effective ways to communicate your message, or take what you’ve produced and extend its reach and lifespan.
I’m sometimes irreverent but completely serious about doing the best possible work for you.
