Personal Details

Bio

Figuring out what to say is like jumping out of a moving train of thought: hurl yourself into the wild wind and hope for the best in the world outside your mind.

It doesn't have to be that way.

I work with organizations to identify priorities, zero in on what you need to say, and say it in a way that shapes attitudes and behaviors.

For 20+ years, I have helped corporations, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations create bold, compelling messages to get the results they want.

Here are a few details about me:

• Award-winning master educator and recognized expert in message development for brand building, leadership presence, and audience engagement.

• Deep knowledge of the nuances of communication and its ability to change minds and behaviors.

• Seasoned writer and public speaker honored by the International Communication Association, National Communication Association, and the Association of Teacher Educators. Featured on TEDxCSULB, ABC7 Eyewitness News, and KMEX 34 Univision in Los Angeles.

•Multicultural impact: bilingual in English/Spanish, lived in the Caribbean, Europe and North America.

With the mind of a data scientist, the heart of a coach, and the spirit of a savvy strategist, I talk the talk and walk the walk in ways that will take your business or communication project to the next level.

Through workshops, presentations, seminars, assessments, and consulting sessions, I'll help you discover what works and doesn't work for your unique situation.

Messages matter. Words have the power to inspire, engage, influence, and move people to action. Or simply hit you where it hurts.

As a professor, consultant, and deep-rooted member of the community, I have crossed industry boundaries for over two decades, crafting and fine-tuning communication strategies for individuals and organizations in education, financial services, natural gas, and other fields.

Whether I am delivering a seminar for a large corporation or consulting with a nonprofit organization, I listen attentively, perform critical assignments, and create customized programs that help participants break through barriers for brand building, leadership presence, multicultural innovation, team management, presentation impact (audience engagement), interpersonal communication, and conflict resolution.

If you could use an outside perspective to drive your inside game, then please reach out today!

I can't wait to hear your story and help you create original solutions for you, your organization, and your brand.

Someone Caring This Way Comes: The Power of Solidarity

In this moving talk, Dr. J shares the power of solidarity in the moments of living. With the mind of a data scientist, the heart of a coach, and the spirit of a savvy storyteller, he helps audiences see that "Someone caring this way comes, and that someone is you..."

An inspiring and accessible talk from an award-wining communication scientist on how to practice “calling people in” instead of “calling people out” in daily conversation, so you can make the world (and yourself) better in more ways than one.
