Consultant to small business and solopreneurs on social media. Writer/editor.
Cincinnati Area
I am a social networking manager, professional writer/editor and business owner: AROnetworking.com.
And, through the requests of clients, I do coaching as well. One of them calls me her "injection of enthusiasm"!
My greatest gifts are writing, collaboration, relationship building, negotiating and mediation. I'm an extremely quick read on both people and situations and able to summarize and quickly make recommendations. I am adept at online social networking and am seeking new clients who would like these increasingly numerous and complex tools leveraged for their benefit.
I am experienced at writing policy and process, project management and participation, executive and non-exempt recruiting and generalist responsibilities. I've led large teams and meetings, created presentations, developed training manuals, mentoring programs, and more.
