Micki McMillan

What can't I do? After 20 years as a secondary, independent school teacher and a global pandemic, I'm writing my second act. Using my considerable background in content creation, composition, proofreading, editing, debate, public speaking, leading, and coaching, I'm seeking to marry those considerable and well-developed skills in order to help individuals and collectives present their content with confidence, assured that the material and/or presentation is a collaborative effort. The end result is the highest quality outcome that clearly and effectively identifies and embodies the spirit, intention, and brand as identified by you, the client.
