A client once asked me what I love about my job… “cleaning up a messy closet,” I said. And what I mean by that is, I love meeting brilliant people who have a big, tangled pile of ideas in their heads. Together we sift through stories, connection to the work, experience, impact and passions. Then we carefully select the most valuable pieces. In the end, my joy is seeing a talk come together that really clicks, for the audience and the speaker.
