Most consultants hand you a slide deck and a bill, then walk away.

I stay with you — uncovering what’s blocked, what’s possible, and what’s next — until the new opportunity comes to life.

Leslie Nunn Reed — Lead Strategist

Too many leaders have a bold vision but struggle to get it done

When a big idea hits a wall, it’s rarely the idea that’s the problem. It’s alignment. Execution. Getting the right people moving in the right direction at the right time. Getting it done right and getting it done right now.

I’ve seen these challenges firsthand. I believe in what’s possible. I’ve been advising executives as an interim/fractional chief marketing and communications executive embedded in organizations since 2002, long before that term became mainstream, courageously leading teams and achieving stellar results. A few examples:

  • Building powerful sponsorship activations for an Oprah arena tour

  • Launching product licensing and publishing programs for New York Times bestselling authors and speakers

  • Producing successful event partnerships that showcase brands and drive sales and leads

The difference? I don't just hand you a strategy and leave. I stay until something real exists. Let’s explore how we can turn your possibility into progress.

Work with Us

  • Strategy Day

    Every engagement starts with a Strategy Day. You leave with a clear path forward and are ready to execute on your own. Sometimes, that’s all you need.

    What happens:

    Step 1: Assess what exists What's working. What’s not. What’s been tried.

    Step 2: Diagnose the real issue Not the symptom you came in with. The actual problem underneath.

    Step 3: Build a clear path forward Decisions made. Next steps defined. Clear options for what comes next.

  • Embedded Advisory

    For organizations that need an ongoing strategic partnership until the work is done.

    What’s included:

    - Weekly or bi-weekly strategy sessions (60-90 min)

    - Real-time access for strategic counsel

    - Quarterly on-site days for deeper work

    - Whatever frameworks, connections, or expertise you need

    Minimum 6-month engagement.

  • Specialized Work

    Sometimes the strategic diagnosis reveals a specific gap that needs focused attention:

    Messaging Clarity — Using StoryBrand™ principles to give you words that inspire action.

    Executive Presence — Helping leaders show up with confidence and clarity.

    Team Alignment — Getting everyone moving in the same direction.

    These are tools I deploy when the diagnosis calls for them. We don’t choose from a menu. We understand and diagnose first.
