Building connection, capability, and confidence

I partner with purpose-driven organizations to strengthen their team’s communication capacity from the inside out. Through targeted workshops and strategic guidance, I equip leaders and teams with the skills to navigate crises, engage stakeholders, share compelling stories, and lead with clarity, confidence, and emotional intelligence.

Hello, I’m Frankie!

With 20+ years of strategic communications experience across public, private, and non-profit worlds, I’ve learned that sustainable impact comes from building internal capacity and fostering genuine connections that spark action and build trust.

I’m a facilitator at heart. Whether I’m guiding leaders through EQ assessments and debriefs, delivering workshops on crisis communications or storytelling, or helping teams navigate high-stakes conversations, my approach remains the same: Listen deeply, ask the right questions, and create the conditions for breakthrough moments that transform how people connect, communicate, and lead.

Services

I partner with purpose-driven organizations of all sizes—from passionate non-profits and established businesses to ambitious entrepreneurs—building your team’s communication capabilities and crafting content that truly connects with the people who matter most to your mission.

As a certified EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 practitioner, I integrate emotional intelligence frameworks into how we connect, collaborate, and build trust.  

Workshops & Facilitation

Build internal capacity and skills through dynamic learning experiences designed for your team’s specific needs. Every workshop combines strategic frameworks, real-world scenarios, and a culture of psychological safety, creating a space for authentic learning, vulnerability, and breakthrough moments.

Strategic Communications

Sometimes you need a trusted advisor who can see the bigger picture, ask the uncomfortable questions, and help you chart the right path forward. Whether you’re facing a communication challenge, preparing for change, or building stronger stakeholder relationships, I provide strategic guidance that considers both what needs to be said and how people need to feel when they hear it.

Emotional Intelligence Assessments

As a certified EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 practitioner, I offer individual and team emotional intelligence assessments designed to give you clarity on your strengths, blind spots, and opportunities for growth—with a specific lens on how EQ shows up in your communication and leadership.

Community Relations

Cultivate trust and resilience through strategic engagement that transforms audiences into partners and advocates. From stakeholder mapping to focus groups to advocacy coaching, I help you build and protect the community relationships that matter most to your mission.
