Owning The Room
New business pitches. Agency-wide meetings. Boardrooms with CEOs. Agencies have handed me the mic in all of them. Whether it’s presenting ideas that have been thought out or coming up with them in a brainstorm, my ability to read a room, adjust on-the-fly, and sprinkle in a dad joke here and there have turned around moods from even the toughest audience members.
new business pitches & presentations
Somewhere between the summer after college and my first job as a Jr. Copywriter, I lost my stage-fright. Since then, I’ve been having fun onstage or in a boardroom sharing work and strategy I’m proud of—and trying to make it as entertaining as possible.
interviews
When I’ve spent countless hours with an idea or a project, there’s nothing I love more than sharing it. Even at 5am while constantly asking myself if it was a good idea to send the 35 medically fragile people I’m responsible for up into the sky in a big wicker basket tied to a really big balloon balloon.
camp promise spontaneous programming
Special guests don’t show up. Thunder cancels swimming. The next camper in the talent show is currently in the bathroom. Over the last decade of running Camp Promise, I’ve gotten pretty good at standing in front of a crowd 100 and improvising ways to keep them entertained.
