Identifying your special sauce

I teach established and rising PR stars the management and biz dev skills everyone expects them to know but are rarely formally taught

I’m an ICF-credentialed executive coach and the founder of MERIT Communications Coaching & Consulting. I work with leaders at all levels as a confidential thought partner, helping them sharpen their thinking, lead with clarity, and handle high-stakes moments with confidence.

I bring more than 25 years of experience advising executives across corporate, nonprofit, and public media organizations, specializing in executive communications, narrative building, and visibility strategies. That vantage point has given me a close view of how leaders think, decide, and show up, and of what it takes to grow when the stakes are high and the room is watching.
