About Me
My high energy and unconventional, direct-to-the-point, vibe and joyful, music-nourished days, are what set me apart . My 30-year career laid the perfect foundation for producing climate influence. In hoping to advise more leaders, I saw that many didn’t even realize they had it in them! That’s why I don’t just advise, but I also scout ( #ISpyClimateInfluence) for and, drumroll, AMPLIFY incredible and unusual leadership through my own media channels. Other than advising, my project work includes creative collaborations, event and social engagement strategizing, media relationship building, and writing/audio via my Substack and podcasting. My first show was the award-winning “Living Change: A Quest for Climate Leadership” podcast. And, my new show expanding on climate influence themes is in development.
Over the years my clients and collaborators have benefited from my deep climate networks and my counterintuitive leadership visibility calls-to-action, including my “name and fame” and “love ’em up” cheers. I co-authored the book “Don’t Think Pink: What Really Makes Women Buy and How to Increase Your Share of this Crucial Market,” and have used that early career in marketing-to-women to shape my current approach to climate leadership.
“Joy is an Act of Resistance"
I truly live all that I espouse in my writing and audio projects about biking for transportation, plant-based diets, and the power in cities for climate influence. It’s incredibly important to me to make a difference – and I see a simpler, faster way for my clients and collaborators to get this job done. My passion for this planet powers my work. My career has focused on building and sharing climate influence, with global corporate, NGO, and academic leaders, and social impact-focused communities . I am driven to demonstrate that there are incredible leaders already out there, like you, who pioneer massive change with boldness and joy. You then nudge your closest peers. Let’s GO!
My Networks
I’ve been connecting, educating, and advising global leaders in corporate sustainability and climate leadership for 15 years+. In the course of developing my various social platforms (please, join Bluesky!), I’ve also built high-value networks of advocacy, media, academic, cultural, and political leaders with a special focus on transportation, housing, social justice, and food policy.
My Expertise
There is no other climate-focused advisor or partner with my background in marketing, strategic communications, leadership, storytelling, media relations, content, event development, and podcasting, who has also built their own influential social platform and networks. I am able to quickly guide clients because I’ve done all that I advise for myself, and I’ve proudly done it unconventionally, if not counter-culturally.
My History
A deep communications background, sprinkled with expert understanding of marketing to women and leadership, broadly, wrapped in personal climate action passion and social media, now podcasting, acumen is how I built this. And, it’s exactly the background to jumpstart any other bold leader ready to own their influence and nudge their peers and other stakeholders. My boldness rubs off on anyone I work with.
