The Flash Consulting Call

I've worn a lot of hats in my career—from founding The Moth's Education Program to earning my PhD in Education to telling award-winning stories on stages across the country.

Along the way, I've helped hundreds of professionals find their unique storytelling skills. I've worked with everyone from nervous software engineers to healthcare leaders, helping them craft stories and communication that actually connect with their audiences. 

And in my own career, I've navigated my share of funding challenges, sudden org growth, and game-changing transitions. So I get what you're up against. 

I created this Flash Consulting Call for professionals who need immediate, expert guidance on a specific communication or storytelling challenge.

If you're looking for someone to help you make smarter moves and tell better stories, this call might be just what you need.

Hi, I'm Micaela.

"Micaela coached me for a presentation at a high profile national conference. Her questions and suggestions helped to clarify how I describe what I do and how I do it, and this clarity worked its way into my visual presentation slides and my prepared remarks. She helped me to discover accessible language that appealed to the widest possible audience, and as a result, people responded positively and wanted to know more about my work. I will absolutely call on Micaela and her expert coaching in the future."
