About
Colleen M. Growe
Strategic Leadership Communication Coach · Founder, CMG
“I help leaders sound like themselves, at their sharpest.”
“I help leaders sound like themselves, at their sharpest.”
For nearly four decades, I’ve helped leaders turn the complexity of their expertise into a story that lands — when it counts most.
I coach C-suite executives setting strategy and motivating teams through transformation, senior leaders building credibility in new roles, physician-scientists translating complex data for investors and regulators, and spokespersons working under media scrutiny.
My background spans politics, issues and crisis management, and multi-award-winning television production. I founded CMG in 1988, serving leaders at Fortune 500 and high-profile companies in BioPharma, Media, Tech, and Financial Services.
The work is anchored by a proven Message Mapping process that results in an actionable Story Flow Narrative and by a simple belief: the strongest communicators treat the preparation as seriously as the performance.
Engagements range from one-on-one executive coaching to equipping entire leadership teams for enterprise events, each customized to a clear outcome. Some clients work with me intensively for a single high-stakes event; others stay engaged across multiple years and transitions. I take on a small number of clients at any one time.
