Make your people’s expertise more visible—and more useful.

Training, advisory work, and individual support that help leaders and teams communicate their value, build professional relationships, and use LinkedIn and AI effectively.

Training & Workshops

Practical learning grounded in the work participants actually need to do.

Current seminars include

Building a Powerful LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn for Networking and Visibility
The Art of Tactful Self-Promotion
The Agile Job Search Method

Programs can serve executives, employees, career practitioners, or the people your organization supports.

Format	Fee
Quarter-day session	$1,500–$2,500
Half-day workshop	$3,000–$4,000
Full-day program	$5,500–$6,500

These ranges apply to established programs with limited customization. More substantial research, curriculum development, and tailored materials are scoped as part of the overall project.

Employee Ambassador Programs

Help your people become credible, confident representatives of your organization.

We connect professional positioning, LinkedIn presence, content guidance, and practical participation habits. Employees learn how to contribute in their own voices while supporting the organization’s priorities.

Programs can support recruiting, customer relationships, industry visibility, and greater recognition of the expertise within your team.

Executive Team & Board Presence

Present a clear, coherent picture of the people leading your organization.

We review and align LinkedIn profiles, executive and board biographies, and related online materials. The work makes leadership experience, expertise, and governance contributions easier to understand while preserving each person’s voice and professional identity.

The result is a more consistent presence for the audiences evaluating your organization and its leadership.

Individual Executive Support

Focused development for selected leaders, senior hires, and subject-matter experts.

Engagements can range from a LinkedIn review or complete profile rebuild to sustained positioning and authority development. Each is tailored to the individual’s responsibilities and goals, with organizational objectives agreed at the outset.

Consulting & Program Development

Turn an idea or service need into a practical program.

I help organizations develop positioning frameworks, career resources, training, AI-supported tools, and delivery processes. Engagements can include assessment, design, development, and support for implementation.

Available through day-rate consulting or a defined project proposal.

Start a conversation

Let’s define the work.

We’ll discuss your audience, objectives, and existing resources, then establish an appropriate scope and fee.

Discuss an Organizational Engagement

Reduced fees are available for selected nonprofit and academic engagements. I also consider pro bono speaking opportunities at events with the potential for broad impact.

Positioning. LinkedIn. Visibility. Applied AI.

I help people and organizations sharpen how they are positioned, strengthen how they show up, and build the visibility and authority that support what’s next.

The work

For individuals. For organizations.

The context changes. The objective is consistent: make the value clearer, strengthen the positioning, and help the right people understand it.

For Individuals

Position yourself for what’s next.

Private work with executives, senior leaders and professionals navigating transition, a new role, board work, consulting, greater visibility or a significant next move.

LinkedIn for What’s Next

LinkedIn isn’t the strategy. It’s where strategy becomes visible.

Positioning comes first. What do you bring? How do you want to be understood? What are you trying to make possible? LinkedIn is one of the places that positioning becomes visible — through your profile, network, activity, relationships and reputation. The same principle applies inside organizations: help the right people understand what they represent and how to show up credibly.

Applied AI

Human judgment. Better tools.

I use AI to make the work better — not simply faster. It allows me to research more deeply, challenge assumptions, test positioning, explore alternatives and build richer, more effective work. Speed is useful. Better thinking and better outcomes are the point.
