No, I'm not THAT Michael Jordan. ;) I'm a Global Communications Advisor and author of "The Global Communications Toolkit." I feel fortunate to have lived on four continents - from America to Europe, from Africa to Asia - during my career, which has spanned three fields: International Journalism, International Education and Communications Consulting. Now back in New York, I'm an organizational Communications Strategist, Storytelling Specialist and Team Trainer on the one hand, while also working with individual professionals as an Executive Coach, Personal Branding Guru, Writer and Editor, I relish the challenge of helping you or your organization prove your words, deliver your message, build your brand, and impact your audience. All of it, as persuasively as possible. How? With evidence-driven content. Among the skills and strategies I'll apply to your work - and share with you - is my approach: identify a core message; support it with credible evidence; weave it into what I call "Strategic Storytelling." I do all this for my clients as Founder of MJ Method Communications, a New York-based boutique consultancy specializing in Global Communications, Media Relations, Executive Coaching, Staff Training, Thought Leadership, Strategic Storytelling - and other forms of brand-building content-creation. As for my background, I feel fortunate to have lived on four continents - from America to Europe, from Africa to Asia - during a career that's spanned three fields: International Journalism, International Education and Communications Consulting. As a freelance Foreign Correspondent, I'm a former UN correspondent who's reported from 30 countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Southern Africa, for media like Foreign Policy magazine; the French news agency AFP; the Christian Science Monitor newspaper; and South Africa's Mail & Guardian. I was also a UN correspondent for four years, covering the entire Sept. 11th aftermath. Twenty years ago, I also began teaching university students and training professionals in the field. As a Visiting Professor of International Journalism, I've taught from New York to Central Europe, from China to Southern Africa. both undergrads and grad students. From 2011-15, I lived in the remote African kingdom of Lesotho, which is where I first adapted all of my International Journalism skills, strategies and storytelling styles to the challenges of Global Communications. Especially in the areas of Health, Development and Environmental Protection. Among my most meaningful projects in Lesotho was to illuminate one American NGO’s impact on the large community of HIV orphans. I interviewed, photographed and wrote the stories of 24 beneficiaries, which the NGO – Management Sciences for Health – then published as an e-book. From this experience, I crafted my own interviewing-storytelling method to identify, unearth and illustrate any organization’s true on-the-ground impact, which I call "The Fork in the Road." I apply this to the needs of my non-profit and for-profit clients, creating new specialties like Sustainability Storytelling, ESG Storytelling, SDG Storytelling, DEI Storytelling, and so on. From 2015-2020, I lived in Beijing. Among my projects there, I was a Global Communications specialist (for clients like Huawei and Mars); a News Editor, Scriptwriter and Media Analyst for the China Global Television Network; and a Visiting Professor of International Journalism. I taught at Renmin University of China, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University and Hong Kong Baptist University. I've also taught in New York, at Long Island University; in Europe, at University of Saints Cyril and Methodius, in Trnava, Slovakia, and at Masaryk University, in Brno, Czechia; and in Africa, at the National University of Lesotho. Now back in New York, among my clients, I'm proud to assist three African organizations: *As Global Communications Advisor to Tech Herfrica, a Nigerian NGO empowering rural women. *As Global Communications Advisor to Beberavi, a Kenyan social enterprise for HIV widows. *As Global Communications Advisor to SIA-Africa, a Ghanaian NGO supporting youth education. In the field of Fashion, Sustainability and Communications, I serve as an Impact Communications Coach for the “Conscious Fashion Design Academy” and will soon lead a three-session Content-Creation Workshop. In New York, I'm also the Strategic Communications Advisor to A Song For You, a music-therapy NGO for hospice patients founded during COVID. Moreover, as an Executive Coach, I work with a range of individuals: from leaders and staffers climbing the career ladder - coaching them with any Executive Communications, like writing speeches, opinion pieces, blog posts, cover-letters, building their LinkedIn platforms, etc. - down to their sons and daughters, guiding them through writing their Personal Essays for University Applications.
