Services + Skills
Writing
Simple clarity conveys ideas and intentions in a way that can make all the difference. Clean and concrete always beats clever.
Strategy
What is urgent, what is important, and where do the two intersect — that’s key. Bold action may be needed, but finesse can lie in small moves for outsized effects.
Representation
An effective advocate listens to learn and shares information, while respecting the mandate. Credibility makes for persuasion.
Negotiations
Success can turn on how the issues are framed as much as on the issues themselves. Leverage tilts outcomes more reliably than good arguments.
Project Management
Constraints of time, cost and scope can be managed if direction to the team is clear. The capacity to react nimbly to new conditions can also prove crucial.
