Brand Marketing and
Strategic Communications Advisory
Executive insight, academic theory,
practical application.
Skills for modern teams.
With 25+ years hands-on corporate leadership expertise and 18 years as a graduate professor in Columbia University’s M.S. Strategic Communication program and New York University's M.S. Integrated Marketing program, I have educated thousands of marketing and communications professionals, entrepreneurs and others to excel in today’s complex business landscape, blending theory, best practices and real-world application.
I build programs around your business priorities, your team’s realities and the outcomes you need to deliver.
Critical Thinking for Better Decisions
Strengthen judgment behind better strategies, recommendations and decisions. Learn how to frame problems more accurately, challenge assumptions, evaluate information and anticipate unintended consequences—whether advising leadership, working with clients, developing a strategy or making decisions with incomplete information.
As AI increasingly influences how we research, analyze and create, participants also learn to question outputs, recognize weak reasoning and use AI without outsourcing their own judgment. Teams leave with practical tools to pressure-test ideas, make stronger recommendations and navigate complex decisions with greater rigor.
Communication Excellence for High-Touch, Customer-Facing Teams
Build stronger client relationships by identifying the assumptions, mixed signals and communication gaps that undermine trust. Participants learn practical ways to manage expectations, navigate difficult conversations and communicate more effectively across the client experience.
Customized for industries and audiences including interior design, travel advisors, PR, sales and professional services.
CEU eligible for interior designers and NKBA members.
Brand Clarity / Developing Your Value Proposition
Clarify what your brand stands for, its distinct value, audience promise and positioning—and how those should show up consistently across strategy, messaging and experience.
Participants leave with a practical brand framework and shared language that makes decisions easier, aligns stakeholders, reduces ambiguity and strengthens recognition and trust across channels and teams.
Understanding Global Brands
Understand what makes brands succeed across markets, cultures and audiences—and why approaches that work in one context may not translate directly to another. Explore how culture, consumer expectations, market dynamics and country of origin influence brand perception, positioning, messaging and experience.
Participants leave with practical frameworks for balancing global consistency with local relevance, adapting without diluting the brand and making smarter decisions across diverse markets and audiences.
Custom Programs
Address a specific business challenge, team need or capability gap with training designed around your organization. Custom programs help teams strengthen performance, improve decision-making, navigate change, work more effectively across functions and build stronger relationships with clients and stakeholders.
Content, examples and exercises are experttly tailored to the business, market and real-world situations your teams are facing.
