Work: Finding the Right Approach for the Job

Each task and team is different. Where I can assist:

Jump from development to production to coordination as needed to get media, web, event, and science mission projects to their audience and end stage.

Construct timelines. Set development and production team goal posts.

Switch between hats. Delegate during hand offs.

Learn the right tools quickly, and adjust tools as fits the client’s needs and budget.

Break down a difficult request into component parts. Turn it into checklists and actions.

Outcome: Established new branding and continued legacy building at tail end of 20 year program. Co-developed archival process.

Legacy site content link.

Outcome: Delivered videos within a short timeframe that introduced novel approaches, with viral sharing and views months and years after. Connected international participants in a virtual event space.

Event link and link.

Approach clients and team members as people first.

Listen. Look for patterns and threads. Tie and retie the threads.

Translate thoughts and assumptions between client and team. Assist with technical explanations on both sides.

Create communication channels. Learn individual situations before setting goals and expectations.

Interpersonal outcomes: Team trust building and stress management. Accountability for product delivery—including any mistakes and corrections—for client.
