“I recently worked with Alison for media training to prepare for an on-camera round table discussion for International Women’s Day at my organization. As someone who isn’t comfortable speaking in front of groups or cameras, and being a first-time panelist, my stress levels were through the roof. However, Alison’s expertise and guidance made a huge difference.
Alison helped me organize my thoughts and assisted me in formulating intelligent and relevant responses to challenging questions. She taught me techniques on how to present myself in a poised and professional manner, which boosted my confidence. I was so happy with the outcome when I shared a story with the panel and audience, suggested by Alison. It received applause and praise, something I never anticipated.
During the roundtable discussion, instead of the extreme nervousness I usually experience when speaking, I felt calm and well-prepared, thanks to Alison’s guidance. In fact, several panelists approached me afterward, expressing surprise at my ease and proficiency, asking if I had prior experience in such settings.
Thank you, Alison for working with me. I really could not have done this without you.”
