A Philadelphia Public Relations Consultant
What I do.
Building Better Relationships Through Effective Communication
I help organizations to identify issues that affect their operations and reputations. I then assist in addressing those issues through effective communication. This includes research, planning, implementation and evaluation of professional communication programs.
The process starts and ends with listening, not speaking.
I work with senior executives to assess the condition of their organizations' relationships with critical internal and external audiences, by listening to those audiences with appropriate research techniques.
I use this information to plan what's needed to meet each group's expectations for the organization's performance as an employer, supplier, citizen and neighbor. I build unique communication programs to let each of these audiences know how the organization is performing in the public interest and to meet their expectations. Then I listen again to see how effectively the communication worked and how we can further shape the policies, actions and communication of the organization.
This is called effective communication. Effective communication builds better relationships.
Tags: "I've just read many of the other recommendations and certainly agree with the greatness of David's strategic council, professionalism, and vast knowledge among many many more positive traits. I first got to know David as a volunteer for the Universal Accreditation Board at the Public Relations Society of America. His wonderful sense of humor comes to mind -- how he can make work fun and committee meetings come to life is certainly important to mention. How he can pay attention to details, keeping the big picture in mind is enviable. I'm a better communicator for knowing David."
