get to know me!
i like lists, a lot. so to make it easier and more fun (for me) i will list the important things.
WHO: i am courtney! courtney m. lindsey to be more precise. and yes i have two first names. i get a lot of questions about my name for some reason…. all i can tell you is that is was given to me by my lovely parents in 1986 and i plan on keeping it.
i currently live in washington, dc where i work as a communications consultant and writer. i enjoy the freedom of working for myself, although there have been struggles along the way. i left corporate life in search of something more meaningful out of a career but also within myself. i have been fortunate to work with some pretty fantastic and passionate people and for the first time, i am really proud of the work i do. i enjoy every day. i am grateful to live a life where i don’t necessarily know what day it is because well, every day feels like a friday.
UPDATE: i now live in the dallas, tx area and things have changed quite a bit in the last year. i am now working a corporate job again but still working on my communications business on the side (when i have the time) – like i said, things happen. lots of things happen and all are things that are out of my control. it has been a rocky year but i am grateful for the opportunities given to me and am making the best of it!
i love to connect with new and passionate people. interested in working together or just have a question? check out my portfolio to see how i can help you and your business OR head to the contact page to send me a message!
you can also visit my freelance profile for additional background and education information.
WHAT: as a communications guru, i love sharing strategies that have been successful – this includes internal and external communications, client relations, customer experience and social media. you can also expect travel photos, guides and tips for solo travelers, recipes and wellness tips that i love that make you feel good from the inside out. how traveling has changed my perspective on pretty much everything from life, love, my career and how i balance it all (or try to).
WHEN: aretha said it best: forever and ever, you’ll stay in my heart and i will love you, forever and ever we never will part.
WHERE: i currently live in dallas, tx but find myself wandering the globe quite often. you can always find me here, of course.
HOW: patience, understanding and probably with a glass of vino here and there.
WHY: because i want to? AND because i have learned a lot through my choices in my career thus far and hope that sharing the good, bad and ugly, i can inspire more people and potential lady boss’ out there to stand up and say ‘YES I CAN’. because, i believe you can.
AND i must also add that’s me and my sweet pup eleanor in the photo. she loves to swim, her pal luke, her momma, chasing cats, squirrels and birds, and sneaking lots and lots of treats. she is basically my child and you will most likely see a lot of her and her pup friends too!
