About

The Backstory.

A man in a suit sits for an interview in a newsroom, framed by a camera and a light.

An Emmy-winning strategic advisor who helps leaders and organizations sharpen their message, strengthen their influence, and prepare for the moments that decide their business or mission.

For a decade I worked the other side of the mic as an anchor, nightside and investigative reporter. I conducted countless interviews and created more than a few crises. So I know firsthand the questions that carry real consequences for a brand, and what to consider before responding to an email or sitting down with a journalist.

When I had my second daughter, I moved to the agency side, in leadership at a DC-area firm with a national client base. I helped clients develop money soundbites and counseled organizations through storms.

For three years I trained leaders and coached executives bi-weekly: CEOs, founders, pro athletes, politicians and scientists, across technology, healthcare, higher education, energy and nonprofits.

Now I do this work as Crenshaw Strategies. I’m based in Indianapolis and work with leaders nationwide.

Across the Country.

From the newsroom to the boardroom

I’ve worked in newsrooms and reported across the country. Now I train leaders from coast to coast.
