Organizations that benefitted from the out-of-the-box thinking and experience of Henry Collins.
Executive Education
Contracted by Tennessee State University (TSU) to develop and lead a statewide business planning workshop that equipped minority-owned businesses with the skills and strategies needed to compete for Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contracts. Delivered seminars in Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, and Knoxville.
Business Development
Served as thought leader and project coordinator for The Richland, a planned 26-acre healthy-home community recognized by the state for its leadership in sustainability and superior indoor air quality standards years before these became mainstream industry priorities.

“Henry is a well-educated, visionary writer. With abundant personal experience working with audio and in live entertainment, Henry brings to his audience a fresh perspective that is not only informative, but hands-on practical.”
“Henry was providing graphic design, copy-writing services and consultation for my business. Henry has an incredible way of formulating thoughts and ideas into graphics and words. He was a tremendous tool for my business. I would highly recommend Henry for any business or company looking to take the next positive step in dynamically marketing their products or services.”
“Henry Collins is one of the most amazing individuals I know. I met him at HBJ Publications, where he was copy chief par excellence with an excellent design sensibility in what was, essentially, an in-house advertising agency. Henry was (and IS!) extraordinarily talented. Always professional in his demeanor, thoroughly engaged with his work, demonstrating impeccable ethics in his conduct, and generous with his expertise toward his colleagues, he has always been someone I have admired. I just wish I could write as good a headline as he always has!”
