COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING FOR MISSION-DRIVEN ORGANIZATIONS

Your work matters.
Your story should sound like it.

I help nonprofits and mission-driven teams find the story they should be telling, then tell it well: to donors, boards, reporters, and their own staff.

More than a decade in TV news, government communications, and nonprofit marketing & communications.

Most organizations don't have a story problem. They have a headline problem.

The good work is already happening. It's just buried under jargon, lost in a grant report, or told five different ways by five different people.

01

Your impact is real, but your materials read like paperwork.

Donors skim. Funders forget. The story that would move them never makes it to the page.

02

Everyone describes the mission differently.

Your board, staff, and website all say something slightly different, and none of it sticks.

03

No one has time to own communications.

It lands on whoever is least busy that week. The newsletter slips. The reporter's call goes unanswered.

HOW I WORK

The Headline Method™

Journalists don't start with how to tell a story. They start with what the story is. Every engagement follows the same four steps, borrowed from the newsroom.

H
 

Headline

Find the story you should be telling, not just the one you've been telling.

E
 

Evidence

Gather the proof: the people, numbers, and moments that make it true.

A
 

Assignment

Decide who needs to hear it, where, and what you want them to do next.

D

Draft

Write it, test it, and put it to work across every channel.

"Christina encouraged us to recognize our own strengths, celebrate the good in others, and carry that perspective into the work we do in our community."

SPEAKING

Bring the method to your next event.

Keynotes, conference sessions, and workshops on storytelling for nonprofit, association, and leadership audiences.

Start with a 30-minute conversation.

Tell me what you're working on. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help and where I'd start.
