Professional services firms hire me to help them win more work. I am a consultant, speaker, trainer, coach, and author of Win More Work: How to Write Winning A/E/C Proposals.

As an account executive with Accenture—the world’s largest management consulting firm—I learned to write proposals that outpaced competitors such as IBM, Deloitte, and Lockheed-Martin.

Today, I help professional services firms in fields such as civil engineering, construction, architects, systems integration, management consulting, and accounting develop their professionals to be better marketers and sellers. I do this through training, consulting, and coaching. What’s more, I help engineers improve processes and systems (e.g., CRM) and by helping them create a sales-driven culture.

I was born on an Air Force Base in Glasgow, Montana and grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta and in Tabor City, a small farm town in North Carolina. Through the encouragement of a terrific high school teacher, I overcame my paralyzing fear of public speaking (in eighth grade, I played sick on the Fridays that oral book reports were due) and am now a professional speaker. Having lived many years in New York City and San Diego, I now reside in Lexington, Kentucky. I earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill.
