Calypso Communications is a communications firm offering consulting, training and coaching that helps senior and emerging leaders to create and deliver unifying and impactful narratives.
ABOUT ME
Hello, I am Emily Ávila, the founder of Calypso Communications. I launched this practice 24 years ago in San Francisco, California. Since then, I have worked with thousands of emerging leaders, start-up founders, and C-suite executives in over nine countries, with offices in California and Portugal.
Over the years, I have managed high stakes, highly visible projects and complex change management initiatives for clients. You can see samples of the work below.
I am now focused on the core of what I love — helping senior and emerging leaders to craft and deliver compelling narratives, to find their voice and their executive presence so they can better motivate and inspire others.
