Elevated communication for leaders, teams, and organizations navigating complexity.

Author of The Elevated Communicator · Speaker · Leadership Coach

I help leaders and organizations strengthen how they communicate, so they can build trust, make better decisions, and create cultures where people and work thrive.

Take the Communication Style Assessment

Communication is where leadership breaks down–or breaks through.

In today’s organizations, the biggest challenges rarely come down to strategy alone. It shows up in how people communicate:

  • Teams talking past one another instead of collaborating

  • Avoiding or mishandling difficult conversations and feedback

  • Struggling to communicate clearly and listen well when the pressure is on

Most people aren’t taught how their communication style shapes the way they communicate and impacts others in these moments.

That’s where this work begins.

Not sure where to begin? Here’s how I work.

A clear place to begin.

Understand your communication style and how it impacts your clarity, influence, and trust.

The Communication Style Assessment is a research-backed tool that helps leaders and teams identify patterns that shape how they communicate, collaborate, and lead––especially under stress.

Used individually or with teams, it provides:

  • Clear insight into communication strengths, patterns, and blind spots

  • A shared language for improving collaboration, feedback, and trust

  • A practical starting point for development, coaching, or training

The assessment identifies four core communication styles:

Expressive

Reserved

Direct

Harmonious
