Our Team

Art in Communication

We are professional artists bringing our technique and discipline to corporate America and to businesses around the globe.

Our coaches bring decades of professional performance experience from on stage to backstage – from in front of the camera to behind the microphone – from musical theatre to Shakespeare to commercials. We are performers, directors, stage managers, dramaturgs, singers, musicians, voice over artists, and professors. We believe in the importance of authentic influence, as an individual or team. We coach the leadership and teams in Fortune 500 companies – consulting firms – technology – pharma – healthcare – telecommunications.

Our programs are based in self-awareness and communication so that greater influence can be had and felt in leadership – on teams – and with clients.

A picture of Articulate: Real & Clear's dog Senge.

Sengekontacket (“Senge”)

My name is Senge like Benji. I’m named after a body of water on Martha’s Vineyard: Sengekontacket pond. You may know it from the movie Jaws. As a cattle dog, I’m highly intelligent – and fiercely loving. I’ll do anything for a treat.

I had to go to Prickley Pooch class so that I could go into the office. Most of the time – I’m good. As a COVID puppy, I’m figuring out what it’s like to be separated from my humans. Every time they come home, it’s as if they’ve been gone forever. I love them.

Tilly

I’m a great pyrenees protector of my domain. With 3 of my siblings, I moved from Yukon, OK to Denver and was adopted. I love to steal clothing from the house so that I can be chased and to protect my backyard.

My first lessons came from Mountain Pet Rescue in Winterpark, CO. They transported me and told me that a great family would adopt me – they stood behind their promise and showed how much they cared for me. To this I give a WOOF.
