Hi! I'm Sandy. I help entrepreneurs become capable and confident speakers, create their messages and connect with their audience. Consider me your personal communication consultant. I'm also a bit of a crunchy mama, a former communication instructor and an advocate for a simpler life. (Ohhh and I'm a HUGE Aerosmith fan.) If you're interested in gaining more visibility and connecting with your idea audience, I'm your girl. Join me and I'll share what I know and help out when I can.

I’m about to bust some excuses… “I would love to have a little more freedom in my schedule, set my own hours, and make more… but I can’t because _________.” (Insert absolutely valid, but completely over-comable excuse).

It occurred to me this past weekend… Outside of my clients and business groups, I don’t know one person who does what I do, or anything similar, in “real life.” They all have a traditional 9-5. That makes me a bit of an outcast. Based on the comments I get, I realize that most people […]

Last month officially marked three years as a full-time freelancer. Luckily, I have no intention of looking back.

I panicked, realizing that I hadn’t yet packed lunches and I didn’t even know what my son was wearing today. ? Frantically fumbling for my cell phone, I checked the time. Then […]

After working with dozens of e-commerce store owners, I can say one thing for certain: most owners leave a whole pile of money on the table every month because they’re ignoring their list! No judgment. I’ve done it too. But now that I’ve worked with numerous shops and have seen the results that they get […]

Does anyone actually like sales? Well, I kind of do. Actually, I quite love sales. But I get that I’m the outlier here, and I also understand that sometimes sales can feel dreadful. Look, I’m not some masachist who just loves inflicting self harm by way of cold calls, and I’m certainly […]
