With the arrival of Justin Trudeau's new government, a new set of priorities is on the agenda. Priorities that call for a specialized set of skills in relationship management. My skills.
Whether it’s helping to initiate a new Nation-to-Nation conversation about what it means to be Canadian, putting the pieces in place for the legalization of marijuana, or launching the long-overdue enquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, public relations skills are going to be very much in demand.
That’s where I come in. With close to 35 years in public relations and communications management, I am looking for a new challenge that makes the most of my skill set. I put ballet dancers on Bank Street. I helped the country's biggest landlord change their business model when Public Works outsourced property management services for the first time. I helped stand up a paradigm-shifting service delivery organization at Service Canada, changing how citizens interact with governments.
And now I’m ready for the Next Big Challenge.
I'm driven by a need to be a Force for Good in the world. That's why I got into PR. But never before have I witnessed a time more in need of building healthy relationships with our fellow human beings. And never before have we had access to this amazing array of knowledge and tools that can make that possible.
I’m a skilled communicator, facilitator, and leader. I have the ability to bring disparate points of view together to find common ground. I am patient, compassionate, and enthusiastic. And I’m beside-myself excited about the work ahead for the Canadian Public Service.
I am willing – in fact, eager – to relocate. Preferably west – to Alberta, where my daughter and grandson live.
Let’s talk.
