As a journalist for 15 years, most recently as a deputy editor at Forbes, I know what makes stories stand out. My workshop and coaching services can help you unearth and express the story you want to tell — whether it’s for an article/op-ed, a business proposal, a keynote speech or a book. This is geared toward thought leaders and entrepreneurs who want to test out ideas in a supportive environment, build credibility in their industry and network with professionals across different fields.
From crafting persuasive arguments and understanding your audience to developing a distinctive voice and thinking like an editor, this workshop will — in a creative, engaging way — help you unlock new ideas, crystallize your own perspective and become a more effective communicator.
Sessions comprise generative short exercises, collaborative close readings and curated lessons built around diverse source material, from personal essays to artist statements. Participants receive two rounds of in-depth written feedback from me.
A little about my approach: Writing helps me think, process, and dream, and I want to impart the lessons I’ve learned from journalism, graduate school, teaching and all my ongoing learning and reading. AI is a powerful tool, but it’s no substitute for nuance, voice, style, critical thinking and meaningful community building.
