GBI've done media training for years I've done media training for years, with and without help and I can't imagine doing it without Clarity from here on out! Melissa is an unflappable pro who helped win over skeptical executives immediately. She's supportive enough to avoid discouraging and direct enough to help our trainees see their areas for improvement. After our sessions, our team has much higher confidence and capability to take on our toughest engagements. Thanks, Melissa and Clarity!

GBHighly recommend!! I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Hellen at Clarity. I am a professor and used to speaking at research conferences. When I knew I had to speak to a nonacademic audience, I reached out to Melissa. She helped me sift through the research and data to help me find talking points that still communicated what I wanted to say but in a way that was more engaging and accessible. She was incredibly competent and very encouraging. I felt completely at ease and confident by the end of our sessions. I just wish I had met with her sooner!!

GBValuable and insightful Jen gives you a very thorough rundown of how we should all be approching our preparation. Her training actually made the prospects of an interview feel fun and exciting, as something to look forward to instead of intimidated. Her wealth of knowledge and experiences means she's been in every type of situation and can effectively coach any trainee. She's straight forward, quick on her feet and warm at the same time, allowing her to be effective right away with the trainee. She builds up your confidence and toolkit.

CAGame-changing Presentation Training Bill McGowan was engaged to prep our CEO to present at our company's first-ever Investor Day. Having worked with her for two decades and having seen her speak/present many times before Bill's training and then - at Investor Day after 3 sessions with Bill... I can 100% attest that his training was "game changing" (the CEO's own words. Bill's approach is unique and effective, enabling any speaker to apply his method while retaining her/his own authentic voice. And his teaching style is informal/warm/funny...not at all corporate, stiff, or stodgy - which really resonated with us. I would wholeheartedly recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to elevate their presentation abilities to the next level!

GBEffective and Productive Session Jen is a real pro and I've found our sessions to be extremely helpful in preparing me for media interviews. I've learned to adopt my own communication strategy with the media (i.e. having silver bullet themes and recognizing which questions match to these themes). Also I've gained insight into my speaking style -- what is effective and what I need to adjust so I don't get stumped by a question.
