Flex Your Communication: 47 Tips for Every Day Success at Work
Paperback and EBook Available
For more than a decade, well-established organizations have come to me thinking they could throw a few marketing dollars out into the world and that would magically fix whatever organizational problems they have.
Time and time again in my consulting, I uncover deeper issues. They manifest in reduced sales, high employee turnover, a poor reputation, or lack of growth. The problem isn’t a failure in marketing. It often stems from an internal communication issue.
I wrote this book to address the root problem. It’s for those who are eager to explore communication in more depth. It’s for those who are ready and willing to flex their communication and find more success at work every day.

Introduction to Flex the Freelance
Do you want to quit your day job? Freelancing is the answer. The future of work is freelance. And you will be happier for it. Freelancers decide how to spend their time and what meaning their work will have. As a freelancer, you get to live your best life.
Be Proactive
A proactive, flexible, and unconventional freelancer has the best shot. Differentiate yourself in a competitive job market. Maintain a flexible outlook on employment options, and you’ll weather economic storms.
A proactive freelancer acts before their world is turned upside down. They don’t wait until they’re broke. They leave before they’re fired. They quit before getting laid off. Circumstances never create the perfect time. But you can build your perfect career.
Decide to quit your day job and freelance. Build your brand and curate your digital identity today. Do it now. A proactive freelancer starts today.
Be Flexible
What lines have you drawn around yourself? Where would you like the boundaries? A flexible freelancer is never satisfied with where they are. They are always pushing, fighting, moving forward.
A strong personal brand lends clarity to your freelance journey. Take the time for introspection. Redraw the lines around yourself. What is important? What lines are rock solid? Which will you stretch?
A flexible freelancer sounds like, “This is who I am. This is what I want. This is what is important to me.” They sound like, “I don’t know how yet, but I will find a way.”
A flexible freelancer thinks about achieving their vision from when they wake up until they go to bed. Often while they’re dreaming too. Their vision may even wake them up during the night.
They know that being flexible has limits. They know their priorities. They can shut off work and be present with those who are most important to them.
A flexible freelancer does. They don’t just think; they do. They are bold, courageous, and willing to leap into the unknown. They know that half of all businesses fail in the first five years. They don’t care. They know they will fly.
Be Unconventional
An unconventional freelancer is confident. They know what makes them unique. They’ve confidently moved in the direction of their dreams.
They are thoughtful in quitting their day job. They charge what they’re worth. Their yes means yes and no, no. An unconventional freelancer knows when to buy a new car and how to announce their venture. A successful freelancer sets and keeps their schedule.
An unconventional freelancer knows how to get out of their way. They assemble a high functioning team. They continue to grow their business.
