Now - The Communicators

Updated September 15, 2025

People don’t care about what you’re going to do; they care about what you are doing now and what they can learn from you.

What Happened Before Now? How did we get here?

For decades I was the consultant for kick-ass professionals. Plenty of go-getters thrived with my guidance, and seeing them achieve their stretch goals and “financial safety” landing was my jam. Wanna know why I stopped? Because the majority wanted someone else to do the work for them. I’m the guide who knows the path and has the questions to bring out the gifts and the story you want others to understand. I didn’t get paid to build someone else’s dream.

After hundreds of consultation engagements and strategy sessions, I faced a harsh truth: Most adults would rather daydream about change than roll up their sleeves and make it happen.

The hard choices and paths to change were clearly defined and visualized in the strategy work we did. Their day of reckoning and points of no return were known and committed to writing. They just didn’t want to do the work to get down the field and across the goal line.

That’s when I changed my mind, changed my life, and put all of my attention and resources on the only winning combination and strategy for making sure I spent the rest of my life in the right place with the right people.

The winning combination:

Professionals: Individuals committed to a life of learning and service.
Communicators: Individuals who love words, truth, storytelling, and understanding among humans.
Gifted adults: Individuals who may accept or deny they are gifted, even though they have dozens of traits of giftedness evident in their every thought and action.
People past 45: Individuals with lived experience and wisdom that comes from many achievements and mistakes. Women have experienced renewal after menopause and men are done with their midlife crisis identity.
Real and ready individuals. Individuals who have been through one or more fires of major transformation, grief and renewal, or reality checks with their health, career, finances, relationships, or all of that at once. They are done thinking someday is another day in the week. They don’t need another course, another download, or map. They need to make their next move, today, without any more of those delays and detours that only drained their energy and cash.

What you can expect depends on where you connect with me.

I am building a global online community with gifted professionals and communicators who have advanced past career ladders and are living out their calling and writing the third chapter of their lives.

Here’s why they care about what I’m doing now and what they can learn from me—plus gain from the collective wisdom of others like them in the community.

They care about connection with other people and their communication experience tells them that happens only with truth, understanding, meaning, and context.
They are moving fast, living large, and going through transitions in work situations, relationships, and everyday decisions. At the same time their customers, subscribers, and all who want to know them are going through changes and shifting needs. That means our main character in this story—you or the gifted professional and communicator like you, is constantly in an updating and rewriting mode. Your website, your LinkedIn profile, your next article, and your last article never seem finished, clear enough, or good enough to get you to your goals
They have goals in seven areas, all at once and interconnected. They struggle to keep the story short, clear, and accurate while covering the main points in the seven areas, which are 1) health/physical 2) financial 3) family/emotional 4) professional/intellectual development 5) spiritual/personal development 6) social, and 7) environment/relationships.
What they learn from me is who they really are and how to rewrite their story. As a lifelong writer, then journalist, editor, producer, and story investigator, I serve as the Storytelling Detective for individuals.

I work with individuals because decades of working with boards of directors, committees, and task forces taught me that everything starts and ends with the individual. That one person, that one life journey, and that one story is the only thing that is real. Everything else is ephemeral. Everything else is a connection and collection of individuals. Everything else is conceptual, somewhere in someone’s brain.

These Questions Give You Power to Find Your Story

What happens now and in the next three months depends on who comes forward to help me find answers to these questions:

What are the thoughts and challenges of the gifted professional and communicator? Do they want the wisdom, experience, and networks of relationships I built over the past 40 years?
Who wants a safe place kind of container to explore the world as it appears to the super smart, highly sensitive, empathetic professionals and communicators?
Who is ready to write the third chapter of their story and needs a “right now” editor and story detective to help them with the rewrite or finish what they started? Who is ready to write with me, now—no more online courses, workbooks, or YouTube videos?
Beyond me, who else is obsessing about brain science? Who wants to learn more about what’s inside the mind of the professional and communicator?
What happens to the authentic you, in your brain and soul when the world keeps pressing with external expectations and egos?
Is there value in harvesting stories and secrets from decades of work with high-performing executives and innovative entrepreneurs when I was the driver of game-changing professional development and certifications for American-created organizations?
What is the best way to help the individual advance from the status of a name on the mailing list into introductions into our networks of trusted relationships we’ve cultivated for decades?
What stories shall I write for subscribers who want to learn from my quests for frameworks and secrets for growing a profession, a communication business, a future workforce, and a happier life?
