Transcript of Introducing Nisah Tahara
I am a public relations and marketing consultant. I work to promote a company's services, products, or image -- often it’s a combination of all three. My work, done in collaboration with owners and their key staff helps them make needed changes to build the bottom line. My expertise and skills have been applied across an array of industries. I have considerable expertise working with the oil and gas industry, automotive, construction management firms, K-12 education, higher education, and a variety of non-profit and professional associations.
Everything must change and having the tools for change is critical. I keep the following in my toolkit: • Analysis - Who, What, When, Where, Why
and How to improve internally and externally to impact the bottom line.
• Branding - Focus on defining the features, attributes and benefits or the 'FAB', resulting in spreading a fabulous message about a client's products and services.
• Collaborative Strategy - Precision in sizing up and outflanking the competition by applying best practices and case study evaluation.

As an award winning speaker, published writer, and skilled presentation developer, I find working with teams to be one of my greatest strengths. The considerable research I have conducted in intergenerational and global relationship building make me a value added team component. I love working with others to solve interesting challenges.
