Buy-in is a two-way conversation. When facing a major public policy challenge, it is essential for businesses, non-profits and government entities to understand their key publics and to develop strategies to involve them in decision-making.

I leverage 40 years of experience working with business leaders, community activists and government officials to advise clients. Longstanding relationships enable me to gain candid insights from individuals and groups that can increase the effectiveness of your organization. Resources include a broad network of contacts for statewide networking, executive coaching, public speaking and social media.
