I have 25 years of experience in the communications industry and nearly 15 years in private coaching practice. I was formally trained in journalism at Ball State University & interned at Redbook Magazine before moving on to corporate production. There I worked as a creative producer, speechwriter & speech coach for Fortune 500 companies like Abbott Laboratories, AstraZeneca & Cisco Systems. I opened my coaching practice in the Chicago area in 2008.

In 2011, I co-authored The Partner’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome with Susan J. Moreno & Marci Wheeler, (Jessica Kingsley Press). Prior to that, I created an e-workbook, Speak Your Truth: How to Say What You Mean to Get What You Want (Lamp Post Press, 2010).

More recently, I've contributed chapters to 3 different collaborative books. And I am currently publishing excerpts from my forthcoming book, 365 Days of Mood Tools via Substack.

I draw from these specialized techniques & my own continuous research in brain development to teach sophisticated, brain-changing exercises that you can use in simple, classic ways to become the confident, authentic & brave success story that most people already think you are.

Whether you are a parent, business professional or both, you can speak your truth & stand in your truth with confidence. Let Communications Coaching with Coach Kiki support you on your journey.
