Jumpstart: Comms Support for Emerging Tech Leaders

The Premise

2025 is going to require new ideas and innovation, but we keep hearing from the same people.

The last couple years, I've been helping speakers prepare for industry events like SXSW EDU, TEDx, and Aspen Ideas Festival, and I noticed something. Most CEOs and those in the “C-suite” have access to communications support to share their perspectives, but emerging leaders (Directors, VPs, Product Managers, Senior ICs)--who are typically closer to their users and KPIs–have untapped insights.

Maybe you’ve attended a conference or a webinar and thought, “something’s missing here”, or you are ready to share what you’ve learned about your corner of tech, but aren’t sure how. 

This winter, I am experimenting with a new offering, called Jumpstart. It’s 1:1 personalized communications coaching for emerging tech leaders to establish a foundation of knowledge, data, and passion to work towards a clear professional goal–joining a panel at a conference, being a guest on a podcast, publishing a LinkedIn article, or maybe delivering a compelling presentation.

My goal is to “jumpstart” folks who want help and accountability to build thought leadership and grow their communication skills. This process isn’t just about getting ready for “The Thing” (event, speech, presentation)—it’s about finding out what you have to say, fine-tuning your communication, and having more impact.
