The Mighty Mouth: Chief Message Officer | Author "Cancer For Christmas" | Member, Disruptive Women in Health Care


Ever hear of a company called Starbucks? What are they famous for?

How about Intel? What are they famous for?

What's YOUR company famous for? If your answer is "I don't know" (or worse, "technology solutions" or "financial services") I can help. That's what I do.

I'm a Chief Message Officer: a communication + message guru who creates content to deliver those key stories about what your company brings to the marketplace. Stories that clearly share your company's value to your customers.

In today's web-driven attention economy, you need those engaging value-driven stories to build a solid connection with customers. You tell those stories with content - audio, video, the written word - to build engagement and connection with your market.

About me:
- Storyteller, media consultant, speaker, writer with deep expertise in broadcasting & theater. And stand-up comedy.

- Cancer warrior, author of Amazon bestseller "Cancer for Christmas: Making the Most of a Daunting Gift". Evangelist for participatory medicine and Health 2.0. One of the Disruptive Women in Health Care (http://www.disruptivewomen.net)

- 20+ years in network news + sports, covering stories for Dateline and Today, presidential campaigns, wars, presidential campaigns that turned into wars, NFL Playoff games, Stanley Cup hockey, and the NBA..

- theater/performance studies at the University of San Francisco, American Conservatory Theater, HB Studios, and the American Comedy Institute add value to both my presentation coaching & my own speaking engagements. Life is theater - act accordingly.

- honed my speaking skills doing stand-up comedy, performing at Caroline’s, Gotham Comedy Club, Catch A Rising Star, and the New York Comedy Club.

I even talked my way out of police custody in Saudi Arabia. Yes, I'm that good.

After facing drunken hecklers, corporate audiences are a walk in the park. Even those who don't want to embrace change quickly...or at all.
