What is your intention? This is the question!

Whether you're stepping into an interview, walking into a negotiation, or standing in front of an audience, the way you communicate matters. Most of my work is about helping people master the art of public communication so they can show up with clarity, confidence, and purpose — no matter the stakes.

Here’s a list of specific intentions and functions of communication that are relevant for anyone:

Inform Clearly
Can you deliver your message in a way that’s structured, engaging, and easy to understand? From breaking down complex ideas to delivering important updates, you need to know how to speak so people get it — and remember it.

Persuade Effectively
Want to shift opinions or inspire a change in behavior? You need to develop the skills to present your ideas convincingly and authentically, whether you're pitching an idea, leading a meeting, or advocating for a cause.

Motivate Action
Words can move people. Do you know how to speak in a way that energizes, uplifts, and calls your audience to action — be it your team, a hiring panel, or a room full of strangers?

Build Trust and Connection
Strong communication builds strong relationships. You need to know and use techniques that help you connect with your audience, build credibility, and leave a lasting impression.

Shape Perception
How you communicate influences how you’re perceived. I can help you take control of your narrative and present yourself — and your message — in the best possible light. We sometimes forget that credibility is key for any message to sink in.

Raise Awareness
Sometimes you need to shine a light on what matters most. Whether you’re championing a cause or educating others, you need to learn how to create curiosity, compassion, and engagement through your content and storytelling.

Meet the Moment
From formal speeches to impromptu interactions, high-stakes communication is part of modern life. The biggest mistake we commit as communicators today is that we forget to prepare for situations we go into. It seems like we have no time, but even 5 minutes with a good prep technique will make all the difference.
