Irnrecently heard a woman say as she left one of my seminars, “They sure don’trnteach this in school!” I was thrilled. Sure, in my coaching and seminars, we spend time dotting Is and crossing Ts, but most of the time wernspend together, we work on more important things.

Like tackling those niggling (larger than that, you say?) fears of writing that wernall harbor. When I began professionally writing almost 30 years ago, I had truckloads of them. Looking, back, I’d say I learned to overcome these fears the hard way. That’s one ofrnthe reasons I love helping people learn the easy—and quicker—way. I can share some great jumpstart techniques and confidence boosters.

For others, getting started makes them stumble. And organizing the darned project—whether it’s a sales letter, blog, newsletter, article or book. With sornmany years experience, I’ve written all of the above and then some. As a result, I can help people jumpstart and organize like a pro. (Read more about my clips and clients below.)

Irnstill write books and articles, but about three years ago, I added one-on-one coaching and training seminars. I wanted to share the fruits of my life to inspire others. (And, in turn, they inspire me.) I really care about the people Irncoach and teach. When we work together, I help them see what they’re already doing right and how they can improve. And when we’re finished, they’ll not only bernable to tackle the projects in front of them, they'll have writing skills for arnlifetime. My coaching and seminar clients include the City of Seattle, Cutter & Buck, First Choice Health, Kroll Security, Seattle Chamber ofr Commerce, Seneca Real Estate Group, Sound Inpatients Physicians, T-Mobile, U.S. Small Business Administration, University of Puget Sound, University ofr Washington, and YMCA.

I bring more than 25 years of writing experience to my seminars, presentations and books. I have written for national companies such as DuPont, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Georgia Institute of Technology. My long career asrna jou alist includes feature articles for magazines and newspapers such as Lawrn& Politics, Associations Now, Southern Living, Country Living, Yoga Jou al, University of Chicago Magazine, Atlanta Jou al & Constitution, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Washington Post (online).

I've written dozens of articles and two booksrn(Get it Write! Quick answers to common writing questions© and Get itr Write! How to writing compelling letters, e-mail, blogs or just about anything©) on the subject of business writing. Other books I’ve authored: The Highroadr Guide to the North Carolina Mountains; Asheville: A View from the Top; and The Insiders' Guide to North Carolina'sr Mountains.
