About this service

Summary

I will help you create tell a more impactful, memorable and differentiating story. Rapidly.
Most of the time the story is within us, but we have a difficult time expressing it. I happen to be a good listener, a quick study with a knack for untangling complexity. Together we will find clarity in how you present yourself (Career Mentorship), your Work (Portfolio Review) or your Business (Pitch Feedback and Scrimmage.)
I am a former CD and CBO turned Entrepreneur who advises and mentors founders, artists, company operators or anyone in need of a spark to get them - or their story - back on track.

Process

For all these sessions, I've found that coming in cold is best. This ensures I can view you, your story and/or offer with the most objectivity as possible. This wires me in to listen intently and quickly unpack the problems you want to solve.
