I understand the challenges in engaging a dispersed workforce. More importantly, I know what it takes to get people listening. And talking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c30e709cc8fed11af76c167/1546714663548-VRAKZD4PPWUMA6ZZGQGU/editing.jpg Home - Editing I’ve had to rejig words written by those whose strengths lie elsewhere so if you’ve got an idea of what you want to say but feel it’s not quite ready for wider consumption I can help. Let me be your test audience with the added benefit of being able to suggest changes to really make your words work for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c30e709cc8fed11af76c167/1546713158801-L96FE5OOCWDSCLQXVDGM/Crisis.jpg Home - Crisis coming? Don’t panic I’ve worked in NHS communications so I’m very confident in a crisis. I keep a calm head whether it’s planning lines to take when a contentious issue is known to be on the horizon or reacting to an unexpected situation. My journalism experience means I know what questions are likely to be asked when the proverbial hits while my time in PR allows me to craft answers that limit reputational damage.
