Hi, I'm Sheila.
Words are useful things, but they are not the only way we communicate. And they are easily misunderstood if used without consideration for the audience and the context.
Clarifying meaning and message is at the core of everything I do. I combine that with years of study in various personality and behaviour models to help select the right words to reach each recipient.
Let's use that in putting your best words forward!
"Thank you, that was really useful!"
"You gave me a whole new perspective, I've never thought about it that way before!"
When I am speaking, writing, coaching, or training, this is the response I most love to hear.
Let's explore how we can draw on my skills, knowledge, and experience to support you in your work today.
Whether the words are for your audience to read or hear, from speeches to business profiles to book chapters, it all comes down to delivering a message—your message—in a way that your audience can most easily receive and understand it.
As one person told me, "You take it from Mess to Message!"
Words have always been my favourite things. Plain language or formal, for print or speaking, I love it all. And over the years I have seen how the right word in the right phrase can turn a hurdle into a launch pad. I have also seen how a single word can cause a complete breakdown in communication, when the speaker and the audience are assigning completely different meanings. So building my career around helping people communicate clearly and effectively has been enormously rewarding.
Which message can I help you deliver?
