If you have ever looked out at your audience and wondered whether they are really getting what you are saying (or if they are even listening), know this:

You are not alone.

Your message is worth the work.

I can help.

What I Do

I work with leaders, authors, speakers, and subject matter experts in fields as far ranging as education, research science, philanthropy, legal, and finance. My goal with any client is always the same: to deeply understand their intended message, and to help them craft the message and its delivery (whether through written text, visual imagery, or oral presentation) so that the audience gets the message "loud and clear."

Lance took a volatile set of problems and developed a set of slides that brought a group of people with disparate opinions and emotions to a cohesive conclusion. He guided and coached the project team on what was important, keeping us focused and on point. It worked, and we couldn't have done it without his refreshing objectivity and 'Jedi Master' like expertise!

“Roger, 11.
You are coming in
five-by-five here.
Beautiful signal.”

The meaning behind "5x5" is the framework through which I analyze how messages are communicated.

Pronounced "five by five," this shorthand phrase from the world of radio communications
describes a message signal of optimal quality based upon two 5-point scales:

Optimize both for your audience to get your message

Better questions lead to better ideas.
Better ideas lead to better communication.
Better communication leads to better results.
