Client Comments
I have to admit that I had some anxiety coming in that day, having done other media training where I know the pressure of having to perform and evaluating one’s own mistakes in front of everyone. So, you met all my expectations! But you also blew them away, as it was definitely an intensive and productive morning – the best I’ve ever experienced. I learned lots – we all laughed and cried lots too (wasn’t sure I was expecting that!). I feel more ready than ever to get out there now – I told Mathieu today that I just want to get on it, and go and use these newfound skills and tools to promote our message and get our story out. While it was an exhausting session (didn’t help I hadn’t slept the night before thanks to Air Canada), it was also an exhilarating one.
The morning was much more than I anticipated – you guys are the best!

I wanted to thank you for the great coaching session a few weeks back! My presentation and media interviews in Saudi Arabia went very well. I also took part in a “surprise” press conference (that I wasn’t aware of), but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip.
