A Thinker Who Draws, Illustrator, Sketchnote Artist, Graphic Recorder: Focused on spreading hope using #graphicrecording #sketchnoting #illustration #art #emotionalintelligence

I'm a thinker who draws, and you'll often find me with pen in hand, drawing while listening.  Illustrating concepts helps me understand information in a far greater way than just hearing or reading whatever content I'm learning. 

Throughout my life, I always found that I would remember pictures better than words alone. After nearly 20 years on a winding path of experience, I decided that this valuable skill could be used to help others understand better, too. Now I spend my days bringing conversations to life and creating art for clients of all kinds. Whether I am drawing live for your event, creating a tailored illustration for your story or book, or just drawing a daily quote about hope, I'm visualizing everything.

I believe that in a world filled with words, more pictures will always do. I've found that starting small and working your way is always best. Bring me your stories and watch them come to life in a new way.

RedTale Communications was founded in February 2020 to help people tell their stories through visuals and narration. If you are finding yourself in the same meetings over and over again or stuck in a project that lacks the creative influence and flow you desire, contact us to hear more about how we can help.

SecuriThink

At SecuriThink, we know what done looks like for cybersecurity. 

That’s a bold statement. 
While cybersecurity standards and best practices advise what to do, they rarely define how much to do. It is critical to understand that cyber risk can never be eliminated and, at a certain point, there are diminishing returns on investment.

Setting the goal for what is “good enough” is both a business decision and a judgement call by experienced security practitioners.

Our cybersecurity maturity journey is the story of “HOW we know what done looks like”; you can read more about that at our website. The SecuriThink team has already made the journey so we can show you the way.

SecuriThink cybersecurity strategies are a game-changer. 
When your people are engaged and empowered, your culture becomes a force multiplier for security. We call this your Cultural Armour™. Once it’s in place, you’ll wonder why you waited.

Principal and Founder

HumaniKey

Humanikey specializes in projects where human engagement is key to the success of technology.

There is often business change needed to get full benefit from a tech investment, but when the technology is given center stage, frequently the rest is dismissed as “soft skills” and no one keeps their eye on the ball of business change.

Deeply steeped in technology and project management, Humanikey applies business transformation the way an engineer applies physics – pragmatic and hyper-practical with a focus on the business result.

Several Humanikey projects focused on information security gave rise to SecuriThink.

I put senior business leaders in a strong position to make cybersecurity decisions which:

◾️ Our preeminent solution — Step Zero™, in 72 hours delivers an estimate with verified accuracy for the cybersecurity costs of an M&A deal or a compliance gap like CMMC.

MY STORY
By the time of my first cybersecurity project in 2012, I’d had a long career of mission-critical projects that required a combination of technical skills and business savvy.  I had observed that the worst breakdowns were caused by new technology forcing the business to change and had deliberately acquired skills to avoid and to manage those breakdowns. 

My skills were needed for a multi-year, multi million-dollar cyber program sponsored by the Board of Directors of a Fortune 500 critical infrastructure enterprise. That’s when I discovered the strong business case for cybersecurity. 

My superpower is to articulate the why and how of that business case in ways which have consistently made sense to a wide range of senior business leaders.
