She is a globally recognized crisis and leadership communications expert, former television news reporter and anchor, and an award-winning TV producer and author. In her keynotes and training, Marjie uses her decades of experience and expertise to empower leaders, at every level, worldwide, to strengthen their leadership communications skills and management of high-stress situations and crises.

In episode 674 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Marjie selected Boston University, what moment first taught her that how you communicate under pressure can change everything, what lessons from live television still show up in her work today, how to coach leaders to slow down without losing control of the situation, why who delivers the message is sometimes more important than the message itself, advice she would give a chapter leader who suddenly finds themselves in a crisis they didn't see coming, how to communicate with clarity without escalating fear or defensiveness, how leaders should think differently about narrative control in a world where everyone has a platform, how leaders can use humor appropriately without minimizing the seriousness of a situation, and how "The Bob Method" works so well when teams feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Enjoy!
