Testimonials

I have worked with Sue a half dozen times over the past few years. And I've received positive and enthusiastic feedback from participants. Sue's half-day training session gives participants the background information, structure, tools and confidence they'll need to tackle media inquiries. Sue's friendly and engaging presentation style puts participants at ease enabling them to enjoy the training and share what they have experienced with their colleagues.

I took Sue's one-on-one Media Training to gain a better understanding of how media really works. I've been on a couple TV media interviews before but was always SO nervous because I never knew if I was doing it "right"! She gave me some very practical tips that will allow me to prepare better for a subsequent media interview! She also boosted my motivation towards wanting to do more media interviews to help strengthen the voice of RDs in Canada through media! The thing I found most enjoyable about her training (aside from meeting her!) was the countless amount of real life examples of previous media interviews she provided and analyzing them for the do's and dont's. I highly recommend her training for anyone who wants to boost their confidence and learn tips on how to prepare better for interviews.

After almost 5 years on Global Morning news I knew there was more I could do to improve my skills. I was seeking honest feedback on key messages, props, gestures, and speaking skills and was hoping to build confidence and take my segments to the next level. I sought the expertise of Sue...and I am so delighted and impressed with the outcome. The feedback reports were very thorough, detailed and professional. Positive aspects of each segment were highlighted with constructive feedback, suggestions for improvement, and specific examples of how I could alternatively organize, display, and present my key messages. She outlined so many small details I had not thought about, but it wasn't overwhelming for some reason, it all made so much sense. Sue's passion for media, and supporting fellow dietitians in the media is evident - so kind and encouraging, yet the honest and constructive feedback was so appreciated!
