Hi, I’m Jamie. . .

Communication enthusiast, lifelong learner, recovering perfectionist, and your go-to guide for all things human and kind.

I’ve spent my career helping people show up as their real selves—at work, at home, and everywhere in between. After thirty years as a professor and leader in higher education, I realized the best conversations are a little bit science, a little bit art, and a whole lot of heart.

That’s why I created Human-Kind Communication™—a blend of mindfulness, intention, curiosity, and kindness. Miss one, and the magic fizzles. Get the recipe right, and suddenly, even the toughest conversations get easier—and a lot more rewarding.

You’ll usually find me:

  • Asking questions nobody expects

  • Chasing big ideas and savoring small joys

  • Bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and the future of AI

  • Co-hosting the Thrive-Learn-Connect Podcast, where we tackle life’s big (and not-so-big) questions about growth, connection, and being human in a noisy world

At the end of the day, I believe communication isn’t just a skill—it’s an adventure.

And it always starts with you.
