The Power of Communication




Expression through writing or speaking can be a meaningful way of interacting with the world around us. Sometimes our thoughts can swirl in our minds so quickly that it can be a challenge to slow down and tell others what we want to say. Language of all types is a path to connection and often meaning. Description, instruction, entertainment, marketing and education can all be conveyed through the spoken and written word.

Being a native speaker of English has its good points and bad. Often I feel very fortunate to be able to speak and write in ways that are clearly understood by those around me. Because I have studied languages different from my own, I have felt the frustration and worry which have accompanied my deep desire to say what I mean. I have also had challenges in learning and understanding certain visual concepts which have led me to an often-unique style of learning. I have great compassion for those who struggle with English. Whether the obstacle is impatience, boredom, frustration or confusion, I can respect the perseverance it takes to continue working with this language.

Although I enjoy writing, I admit I have my favorite types and not everything is great fun for me. I like taking my skills and supporting individuals and businesses in expressing what they mean in powerful, eye catching and meaningful ways. Effective communication in English involves a learned set of skills. It is my life’s work to support literacy in all its many forms. My grandfather was a self-educated man who prided himself on his language abilities. I take great pride in honoring his legacy and want to support those who want to further empower themselves with gifts of communication.

All forms of business, research, technical and even creative writing share skills. What you as the individual say, how you say it, what you use to support the information you share and the styles in which you express yourself are yours and yours alone. Many of us share software, hardware and ideas but the unique combination you use to combine them is what makes your content a large part of who you are.

It would be my pleasure to support you on your journey. Whether you are new to English, working with disabilities, a native speaker using English in new ways or part of a small business eager to show what you can bring to this world, I can help you develop the power of communication.
