We make sure people understand your work.
THAT IS THE WHOLE JOB.
THE REAL PROBLEM
You are not the problem. Neither is your strategy.
​
You are so deep in the work that you have forgotten what your words sound like to someone hearing them for the first time. You are using the language your team understands and your audience does not.
​
That is why the pitch does not land and the post gets no traction. Your audience checks out before you finish.
​
Sometimes the words are not landing because the story is not settled yet. A founder keeps trying new lines. A leadership team says different things depending on who is in the room. People feel the disconnect even when they cannot name it.
​
You cannot perform your way out of a story that is not clear yet. The foundation has to come first.
WHERE I COME IN
Sixteen years of walking into a room and understanding it fast.
As a television journalist, I walked into rooms where I knew nothing about the topic and had to understand it well enough to explain it clearly to a general audience within hours. That was the job. Listen, find the truth, say it so anyone can follow.
​
After journalism I led communications as EVP of Marketing and Communications at Waterford.org, directing a 21-person team through a full brand refresh and communications under regulatory and political scrutiny across more than forty states.
​
I founded Kim Fischer Collective because the same problem kept showing up everywhere. Smart people doing important work, explaining it in ways no one outside the room could follow. I help fix that.

Helping leaders find their words.
"Kim led me to build a few keynote speeches, assisting me all along the way from drafting the arch of the talks to practicing transitions. She coached me on improving my stage presence and gave me encouragement and feedback along the way. She worked with developing my OpEd writing style and supported me through collaborations with external PR firms, news interviews, and messaging strategy. I learned a lot and had fun while doing it!"
