Why Communication Agility?
In my experience, I’ve seen middle managers struggle with sharing the right amount of information at the right time that’s adapted for the audience. I was in a project status meeting once where the team leads wasted their time as the Project Manager allowed a discussion of a missing cable to go on for 20 minutes covering the exact cable type, where to get it, how to purchase it, and who would go pick it up!
Studies directly link communication issues to productivity and quality in the workplace. For small to medium businesses (SMBs), more than 17 hours are spent on correcting miscommunications, costing up to $525,000 annually – that’s roughly $5000 per team member. (source)
Gallup shows us that team engagement – driven by a culture of clarity, information flow and transparency – i.e. communication agility – produces 18% more sales, 41% higher quality, and 23% increased profitability. (source)
In studies about the number one Project Management Office (PMO) issue – project prioritization - it is found that saying “no” is an equal partner to scoring methods (both at 28%) as the main challenges! (Source: Sciforma, 2024, The PMO Outlook Report). It is clear to us at Kite Agility that Project Leaders benefit from improving communication agility in equal measure to improving their methods and standards.
I'm passionate about navigating you through communication challenges! The flight plan to achieving your goals with Communication Agility - effectively communicating good and bad news, telling meaningful stories from data, and facilitating good decisions - includes agility training, consulting and individual advisory.

About Kite Agility
Elevate Your Project Management Story
Today’s kites are multi-dimensional and versatile. When I have flown a two-line kite as a beginner, I still had great fun getting that kite to finesse its way through the sky!
Did you know teams lose almost an entire workday per week to miscommunication*? I enjoy solving this type of project leadership problem in multiple dimensions. I delight in finessing information sharing and stakeholder connections using my superpower of clarity. I’m passionate about helping project leaders navigate effective communications through project demands, varying priorities, and their team objectives.
I envision project management leaders to have the skills they need as the function shifts to be more relational, strategic, and empathetic. With communication agility, I see them landing the most relevant and timely messages into various audiences, situations, and decisions.
Ready to adventure into communication agility with training, consulting and individual advisory?
