Communications coaching and storytelling for a just world
I’m Josh Daniel, content inventor and communications coach.
I guide individuals, nonprofits, foundations, and school systems to become effective communicators in their journeys for change. Together, we use communications to challenge systemic inequities and promote positive solutions—so everyone has access to quality education, healthcare, environment, and opportunity. I specialize in education communications and the creation of content for parents, students, and teachers. I do this work because I believe it can lead to a more aware, thriving, and democratic society.
I call this process content inventions.
I work alongside you to write, edit, and produce websites, videos, speeches, op-eds, blogs, and provide performance coaching. It takes collaboration, creative strategy, and a bit of alchemy to create compelling stories that inspire insight and action. Depending on the size and scope of a project, I partner with collaborators to develop messages and materials. This is head and heart work, and humor helps when you’re inventing content.
