Empower and Engage with One Voice: Why You Need to Cultivate Ambassadors
How and why you must energize your teams and stakeholders by empowering them to be ambassadors for the mission–whether engaging with members, volunteers, donors or advocates.
Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley Chief Mission Officer: “Her ability to simplify storytelling empowered our volunteers to become stronger, more effective advocates for the children and families we serve.

Communicating with Impact
Change Girl Talk to Woman Talk: 
I share key communication strategies for women to command respect and authority including eliminating unnecessary apologies, owning the room through strong introductions, and more. These simple yet powerful communication shifts can significantly impact how women are perceived and treated in the workplace. Find our more in this podcast: Be Business Savvy.

Be a Brilliant Speaker or From Author to Brilliant Speaker
For any professional seeking to up their game, this program is designed around techniques and best practices, and how-to craft and present your “3 Signature Remarks.”Award-winning children’s author who recently took my webinar said she was debating whether to attend because she is not new to speaking at events and in interviews. When I saw her after, she said, “I was surprised how much I got out of your program. I didn’t think I had anything else to learn.”
 
Ugh! The Press Wants to Talk to Me!
Whether you have reached out to local media or the national press comes knocking get our organization ready to share its work or insights. Your teams, not just your leadership, must be on board and ready to represent your mission. Get in front of it. Take control and make an impact! Coaching includes how to prep, speak, dress, and present in any Q&A setting. You’ll be glad you did.
CureSearch for Children's Cancer CDO: “The communications workshop was beyond fantastic! It left an impression on everyone in the room. I heard so many positive things from our staff and attendees about how helpful the exercises were.”

How to Present Well on Camera – any Camera!
60 Minutes journalist Dan Rather wrote a book called The Camera Never Blinks. When he wrote that he was referring only to the television news camera capturing an interview (or life as it was happening). Now, we are in front of digital video cameras, live or recorded, for business and pleasure on and off all day long. We take it for granted. But sometimes, the end product, especially in a professional setting, is not what we hoped it would be. From a career in front of the camera and behind it, Helen will guide all levels of speakers through best practices in a fun and engaging way. By the end of the talk or workshop, pros will be ready for the next zoom call, stage, or TV interview. 

For fun & inspiration
NEW! That Work-Mom Thing:
When did being a mom go from survival tasks to a service job? As a former editor at Working Mother and a big-family mom, Helen sets it straight in a humorous engaging take on doing it all but maybe not all at the same time. This talk is inspirational, based on stories of resilience and day-to-day experience.

Custom Talks & Workshops:
Let Helen be your advocate and ambassador amplifying your mission. 

Professional Interviewer and Moderator:
Whether from center stage, a fireside chat, or a panel discussion, you need a professional emcee and interviewer to keep the event moving and keep both the guest and audience engaged.
