You're invited to a stage reading of my newly revised play, The Whole is Greater:
The lives of a "motivational guru," a cynical unemployed professor, a corrupt local politician, and a wily Dollar Store cashier intertwine unexpectedly in fictional Carlyle, Virginia. Comic drama unfolds as definitions of success, matters of justice, and finding your place in the world collide.

A restful island vacation prompted thoughts about the benefits of fully immersing yourself in whatever you are experiencing. Read all about it in my latest blog.

The best gift of 2018!

In this month's blog I talk about a great present you can give yourself and your loved ones!

Since relocating to Brooklyn, I have tweaked my one-on-one coaching model and am now offering it remotely. Working on the reliable Zoom platform, I can video chat with my clients, see and hear what they are doing with their bodies and voices, and offer the same practical, effective feedback. This type of session is also very useful for situations where time is of the essence, anything from last-minute tune-ups to full-blown speech emergencies. Of course I still love to see all my wonderful clients in person, but sometime the time/space continuum gets in the way! So if you need a tune-up or would like to do a series of sessions, but can't get to Brooklyn to see me, we can make it happen.  

Happy Holidays to all!
And best wishes for a peaceful and fulfilling 2019!

Tis the season!

Time to update on one of my evergreen posts. This month's blog discussed why being truly "just yourself" at work is not always the best.
