About Joelle Lipski-Rockwood

I consider myself a results-driven and motivated leader. I have strong communications and interpersonal skills which I use regularly to help my clients (internal or external) achieve the results they deserve. Over the years, I have found great satisfaction in coaching and conducting training for management and employees. I enjoy seeing the successful transition that takes place from start to finish following a successful training. I have been fortunate throughout the years to work with senior executives and employees at all levels of an organization to help support common business goals and create a positive corporate image. Since my skills are transferable from one industry to another, I have been able to learn about a variety of different industries, for which I am grateful. I enjoy the opportunity that Communications has afforded me to work and connect with the diverse, cross-section of employees within a company and to truly hear from people what’s important to them. I feel that I have always increased the value that communications can bring to an organization and hope to continue that throughout my career. Some of my key competencies include- Strategic planning - Internal/employee communications - Writing and editing - Crisis planning and communications - C-suite training and communications - Media relations - Stakeholder relationship management - Community relations - Positive corporate imaging I am available to discuss new opportunities in the Chicagoland area or virtually/remote.
