The way we say anything is the way we say everything.
Let’s talk.

Business is the business of talk.
The way we talk determines the way we work.
My Approach
-
Connection leads to engagement. And engagement leads to influence. And influence gives us opportunity to make a difference.
Our intent must focus on creating more human connection not abdicate communication to AI or automations.
You are not an algorithm.
-
More is not better. Better is better.
But better looks different for different people. A friend recently commented how he is done giving any attention to hustle-peak-performance sub-culture. Exploring your edges, he reminded me, isn’t one direction.
It takes boldness to do less, say less, and listen more. It’s about finding your power and integrity.
-
Structure and systems play a role in how your message is received.
Today’s video-centric environment reveals just how little attention is paid to the little things which may have unintended consequences.
You say a lot before you speak a word.
-
Communication is more art than science. The world applauds authenticity over excellence and expertise. Your art is how you show up with creativity, vulnerability, and power. Your art may be the element or action which invites transformation.
About Me
At 9 years old I wrote my first short story and started my paper route. I’ve been an entrepreneur focused on the art and science of communication and commerce ever since.
Since then, I’ve served various start-ups and start-overs. It was there, on the front lines, that I learned how to connect with and engage customers and teams.
Most recently, I led innovation and change-management projects in major integrated health systems. Working with both clinicians and administrators meant facilitating nuance and politics.
I launched Punchn in May 2020 to address the need for people to show up on Zoom with power and integrity. Today, with the advancement of artificial intelligence, I am on a mission to empower more human connection across all technologies and digital frontiers.
Since 2015 I’ve been baking sourdough bread. My “mother” is nearly 10 years old.
Got a Question?
The start to a great conversation is a good question or insightful comment. I’m guessing you have at least one or the other. I’m excited to hear what you’re thinking or working on. Be bold. Let’s talk.
