Words can take you on journeys involving all your senses without you moving an inch. Whether writing on behalf of a CEO, conceptualising and writing strategic documents; compiling issue- or product-related newsletters, content and project management of publications, profiling people in their personal or professional capacities, or waxing lyrical just for the sake of it – words are my primary paint brush. Even King Solomon attested to the value of words properly used. According to him, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” Being counted the wisest of his time, I suppose he would know. My business is selecting (or pruning) the “apples of gold” to convey the right message to the relevant audience, eliciting some response. To do this properly, I have the fun task of stepping into several pairs of shoes a day: I might be an executive seeking to rally their team around a certain vision; a manager reporting performance results; a thought leader shaping opinion; a reporter keeping audiences informed; a storyteller; or a poet painting, with words, the world as they see it.
Deciding to be a writer at the tender age of eight, living in a treehouse, no less, life's gravel roads and freeways refined these dreams, as they are wont to do. The treehouse didn't materialise, but I added other skills to hone my communication prowess and continue to learn.
A range of writing, publication-specific, language, and communication services offered.
Passionate about people development, I use every opportunity to mentor young communication professionals. I also offer tailor-made Teaching English Foreign Language (TEFL) courses to anyone who wants to improve how they present themselves through writing or speaking.
Everyone has a story to tell. The process of committing one's thoughts on paper – real or virtual – is as rewarding as sharing it with others.
