About Sharee D. McFadden

Passion and Purpose: As a coach, I help you design a life that you can laugh at, live for and love more so that you can put more joy into your life andd turly \"InJOYourLife.\" Consider me your own personal cheerleader. I help individuals develop the spark they\'ve been missing through one-on-one coaching, workshops and like-minded community. Profession: Whether I\'m creating engaging content, coordinating and hosting an event, or just offering creative direction with innovative and out-of-the-box ideas, I help my clients take their vision and bring it to life. I connect businesses with diverse audiences by initiating and facilitating dialogue, speaking to a wide range of audiences and creating programs and initiatives to support business and community growth and progress. I am a passionate social justice advocate, particularly in the areas of race, education and economic development. With a background in public relations and branding, I\'ve been able to transfer my skills into several industries; including the nonprofit sector, health-care, sports, food and beverage and education. Beginning my career with Harrisburg-based ad agency Pavone allowed me to work with brands such as Turkey Hill Dairy,Fulton Bank and Mount Nittany Medical Center and gain valuable experience in the areas of brand management, account management and media relations. Subsequently, I\'ve been able to use my knowledge to advise, consult and educate a number of small businesses, independent business owners and non-profit organizations on how to incorporate effective public relations practices into already existing business models. I truly believe that effective public relations is critical to the success of any organization. My specific skill areas include: Public Relations Planning and Strategy Event Planning, Hosting and Evaluation Media Writing and Pitching Content Development for Print and Web Grant Writing Social Media Management Program Development Networking and Relationship Building
