What Gail had to say about these services:
As an elected official it is essential to have the confidence to be able to speak in public or to the media. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to take advantage of two media training sessions with Marilyn in January, 2013. The two sessions over the period of a week gave me the opportunity to absorb the information and come back the second week ready to learn more. I really enjoyed the process and the knowledge that I've gained. I would highly recommend media training with Marilyn. She put me at such ease while I learned tips and techniques that made me feel comfortable and confident that I can deal effectively with the media under any circumstances.

What Amber had to say about these services:
"Marilyn is extremely well organized and easy to partner with. She worked with my department at the YWCA to develop a new website focused on current and past YWCA Women of Distinction. This event has touched hundreds of women in our community over the years, and we wanted a way to reconnect with them and honour their ongoing work. Not only did Marilyn help us generate this wonderful idea, once we decided it was feasible she immediately went to work! Marilyn is extremely well organized and easy to partner with. She provided detailed requests, explained the process of building and designing the site in lay terms; delivered the finished product precisely on time, AND empowered our staff to maintain and build the site moving forward. We work in a very busy environment (don't we all?) and it was wonderful see a project that can often be frustrating and time consuming was executed with efficiency, creativity, good humour and with an understanding of the value (and limits) of staff time. I highly recommend Marilyn for your media communication and website needs."
