People with world-saving ideas and solutions should be speaking up more. Full stop.

I work with big thinkers – climate-tech startup founders, researchers, sustainable-business owners, and nonprofit leaders – to move past their thought leadership hang-ups and crank up the volume on the important work they’re doing.

Let’s Turn Up Your Volume

If the idea of trumpeting your own solutions, ideas, or authority makes you bristle, you’re not alone.

But consider this: developing mission-aligned authority among your target audience is a key ingredient in attracting the right partners and customers to your business, project, or movement.

That’s where I come in.

I listen, study your public voice as it exists today, and ask the right questions to draw out your best ideas. Together, we shape LinkedIn posts, newsletters, op-eds and articles, speeches, slide decks, and maybe even books, so your message can ripple widely.

The result: thought leadership that inspires and connects, rather than drains.
