public facing: social strategy & training

public facing is my training and social strategy practice. I work with organizations, coalitions, and teams who are figuring out what it means to be seen—by the public, by their communities, and by each other.

I design and lead trainings on group culture and communication: how groups form, how they function, and how they hold together when there’s pressure from inside or out. My sessions are clear, practical, and rooted in a desire for real solutions. I also consult on public-facing strategy: how to show up online, how to communicate across difference, and how to make sure what you say matches what you do.

This isn’t about branding yourself. It’s about speaking and acting in ways that can stand up to public attention. That kind of work only lasts if we’re honest (with ourselves and with each other) and strategic.

Public Facing is where my work as a trainer, artist, and cultural critic comes together. If you need support with staff/team trainings, social strategy, or both, this is where we start.

public facing is built on the belief that what we show in public only works if it’s real in private. Groups fall apart when the story they tell about themselves doesn’t match the way they actually function. My work is to close that gap.

The mission is simple: help people talk to each other honestly, build cultures they can actually sustain, and step into the public in a way that holds up. No spin. Just practice, accountability, and good faith communication.

I also believe there’s nothing wrong with admitting to strategy. Too often people avoid acknowledging any kind of public performance, and because of that they never examine how their true self informs it. We all play roles. We all serve different audiences. Pretending otherwise doesn’t make us more authentic. It makes us less equipped to handle the realities of being seen.

Why me? Because this has been the throughline of all my work. As a trainer. As a writer. As someone who’s spent years naming the gap between performance and truth. I know how to sit in the contradictions, call them out without collapsing the room, and give people some space to confront a personal or public reality.
