A World of DifferenceDo you ever wonder if your work is making a difference in the world? Or secretly admire people who create positive social or environmental impact through their business? I certainly do.
After spending 10 incredible years living in Prague, Czech Republic in the 1990s, I came back to the US, and something about being in Europe for so long (and travels to Southeast Asia and the Middle East) had changed my perspective about life and business in the US.
After my return to the US, I remember going on a hike after Christmas with my family in the hills of Hacienda Heights in Los Angeles, where I grew up. I came around a bend and saw a huge landfill, with dozens of garbage trucks pulling up to dump their loads. I wondered to myself – how many just-opened Christmas and holiday presents are ending up a week later in that big pit? And beyond that - how much of the output of overworked and stressed-out Americans, including myself, is just ending up within days or weeks as garbage dumped into a landfill?
Shortly after being in charge of marketing at Savage Beast Technologies (now Pandora), I was applying for jobs during the aftermath of the dot.com collapse and economic times were turbulent in the San Francisco Bay Area. A friend told me, "I'd take 90% of the jobs out there." I had the exact opposite feeling! My response was "I'd take about less 5% of the jobs out there."
Because I knew I had to do work that I was passionate about and which was making a contribution beyond more stuff filling endless malls in California and beyond. I then discovered the world of social enterprise and "double bottom line" companies, which strive to consciously create both financial and social/environmental value. Since this time, I've managed marketing operations for social enterprises like Social Fusion (an incubator for social enterprises) and TechSoup Stock (a nonprofit organization in San Francisco). And recently spent 7 months in London helping launch a green business, Lemnis Lighting, in the UK.
My intention is to help you grow your business in a way that is sustainable and that supports your values. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs and business owners that incorporate environmentally friendly or socially responsible practices into their businesses.

If you’re like many small businesses owners and service professionals, you are an expert in your field, but you aren’t an expert in marketing your business yet.
It’s likely you’re not sure which marketing ideas to implement in your business to move it forward. You’ve spent lot of time creating a web site, your brochure and networking as much as possible, but you still don’t have enough prospects and clients coming into your business. And in the worst case, if you don’t manage to bring in new paying clients on a consistent basis, you may not be in business for yourself in a year.
It’s not your fault! Chances are, you were trained to be very good in your profession, but never learned the art of marketing and how to attract clients.
