Workshops!
I started mixing LEARN THIS with FUN in a situation when it was 100% necessary: as a middle school math teacher with Teach for America. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the world’s best writers and communicators.
When you get, give. When you learn, teach.
Maya Angelou
No one else on planet earth has my data storytelling and communication teaching chops: I’m an award-winning science writer and the bestselling coauthor of Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers. (My writing and brainstorming partner, Chip Heath, also wrote Switch and Made to Stick.)
Topics
Making Numbers Count
The classic workshop! See sample materials here.
Using AI to Turbocharge Your Communication Skills
The robots are going to take over anyway. Why not see how they can help us in the meantime?
Chip Heath and I spent years researching and writing Making Numbers Count. We workshopped to build a framework for the book. We analyzed and researched fast, functional methods. I gave workshops. And then, ChatGPT came along.
Instead of spending hours doing the math, strategizing, and researching data visualization methods, you can use AI prompts to supercharge the process. Want to know which tools and how to use them? I’ve got you.
Using AI to Maximize Productivity
The robots are going to take over anyway. Why not see how they can help your bottom line in the meantime?
Odds are, you don’t need to hire someone else for your communications team: you just need to teach your team how to use Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT how to do what they do best.
Finding Your Company’s Story
We live in fascinating times. You’re doing something unique. But so often, people in organizations don’t have the perspective to see what outsiders would find interesting.
As a trained researcher with a background in behavioral science and a former ghostwriter, I can help you find the research and stories that will truthfully bolster your narrative.
I’ve collaborated with and ghostwritten for countless organizations, including writing the white paper celebrating Hilton’s centennial.

- Strategists and management to craft messages that resonate between departments

- Ad agencies
- Small business groups and marketing mavens to perfect their messaging
- Entrepreneurs and nonprofits pitching VCs and investors
