Welcome to Cogent Language!

Cogent language is clear and persuasive. If you are an early- to mid- career professional working in projects, then you already know how important cogent language is. 

“Cogent Language” – big “L”– is the name of our business because coaching on it is our stock in trade. Welcome!

Our value proposition is “cogent language for your career”. This is know-how that grows from roots in your own project experience, career goals, and ideals. In fact, it can grow from these roots only, even if you have some nurturing AI partners. In any case, growing cogent language for your career takes time, and it takes a deliberate practice.

It is the practice, arguably, by which “workers” become “professionals”, and young pros become more professional. This practice is situated, reflective, conversational, and long-term. Starting wherever you are, you reflect on your project experience, and you share the reflections with a nurturing advisor in conversation. You – plural – discuss tested frameworks, emerging trends, and career options, brainstorming, designing, role playing, and debating as you go. Going forward, you – singular– inform your own personal discourse, practice, and career. 

This is the practice that my coaching here at Cogent Language supports. I aim to be the conscientious student and caring partner of every person I coach. My recent work as a mentor has been certified as “exceptional” by PMI Arizona.
