Highlights

Communication is a state of mind.

All businesses need to communicate - need to communicate with their customers, partners, employees. But communication is not just phone calls, IMs, and emails.

Communication means:
- Business Expectations and Requirements
- Project Time Lines, Resources, Budgets
- Technical Instructions
- Business Functions and Processes
- Documentation Templates and Forms

So communication doesn't mean just talking or writing - it means setting up channels between people and businesses. Maybe it means describing what you want to do, how you're going to do it, and who needs to be involved. Or maybe it means helping people do what you need them to do, whether installing software or light fixtures. Or maybe you need help pulling something out of your head and putting it on paper - novel and short story ideas, journaling a rafting trip, organizing sales functions across an online software company, or even tightening that resume up.

All of it is communicating, and not just writing down words.

Sales and technical presentations, flow charts, organizational charts and business functions, email forms, business request tracking lists, and QA/UAT use cases - all forms of communication.

Because communication isn't just talking on the phone or writing emails. Because communication is a state of mind.

More than 14 years of communicating, managing, and organizing form the base of my skill set. And we can go anywhere from there...

Feedback
I am a firm believer in straight-forward, honest, and prompt communication. All issues should be addressed at the moment they arise, so that long term project happiness is ensured. I leave prompt, positive feedback as a principle and look for my clients to do the same.

All projects should be completed to satisfaction, as stated in the initial project requirements document, signed by both parties up front. All issues should be addressed at the moment they arise, to ensure project satisfaction by both parties. I look forward to developing long term relationships, built on exceeded expectations.
