In addition to writing books and producing journalism, I’m a creative consultant. As The Fixer, I do a little bit of everything that has to do with words.

The Fixer Is Back

Now that my memoir is out in the world, I’m consulting again. What do I do as The Fixer? Well, it’s a little bit of everything. Strategy consulting is one way of putting it. Consigliere is a bit more accurate. As a consultant, my work ranges from crisis communications to M&A to executive coaching to PR. Book your (deeply discounted) introductory session with me today here. If you’ve got a problem, I can probably fix it.

The Fixer Is In

I don’t talk a lot about my strategic communications consulting work, aka The Fixer, because most of my clients find me through word-of-mouth and because my clients are often high-profile, high-net-worth individuals. But if you’re interested in learning more about how we might work together, you can purchase an introductory one-hour session with me here or email me to find out more about what I do here.

The Bad Date

TheFixer #2

Check out my new newsletter: TheFixer. The latest installment is live: “The Shotgun Effect.” Subscribe here.

Here’s an excerpt:

I sent my resume to men and women. Quickly, I noticed there were two types of responses. Women tended to offer emotional support. Men tended to offer strategic support. Every single potential lead I got was from a man. None was from a woman.

Things I've Done for Money

In this week’s newsletter, I recount Things I’ve Done for Money, including pretend to be a bottle of pink bismuth, interview male porn stars, and tell executives what to do. I was inspired to write it after updating my Services page, which outlines the consulting work I do. Read my newsletter here. Subscribe here.

An excerpt:

“It made very clear that some men who are very powerful and very wealthy feel better when a beautiful, strong woman is beating the shit out of them. In any case, executive coaching is the art of telling wealthy, powerful men how to do their jobs.”

Lessons from the C-suite

I shared some of what I’ve learned as a consultant to male C-suite executives in Victoria Pynchon’s newsletter. You can read the whole thing here, and you can sign up for her newsletter here.

An excerpt:

“When women get locked into imposter syndrome, men dive into the unknown of presuming they’ll figure it out along the way. Take a page from the guy who landed the corner office by faking it until he made it. He isn’t any more capable than you. He’s just more capable at pretending that he’s more capable than you.”

Not a Stripper

Hustlers follows a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients. The film was inspired by the article published by New York Magazine entitled "The Hustlers at Scores" written by Jessica Pressler.

Not long ago, I got an email from someone with a company that was trying to hire me to deliver a presentation. But I wasn’t sure what the company was or what the presentation would be about. We went back and forth in email for a bit, and I remained confused. So, she told me to call her. Then she explained that she works for a company that owns all the strip clubs in a major city. After a bit of back and forth, I realized that she thought I was a former dancer, and she wanted me to come in and coach the girls. “Like on etiquette and stuff,” she said. In any case, since I’ve never been a dancer, but only written about dancers and clubs, I emailed her a few names of women who are and/or were dancers and do that sort of coaching. I was never a dancer. I lacked the guts. Much respect to the girls that do.
