“I have had the pleasure of working with Elise and SpeechComm over the past 18 months as I assumed the new role of CEO for a non-profit organization. Elise has helped me clarify and fine tune our messaging so that it is better understood by all of our constituents.  She has also been invaluable sharing strategies and tools for effectively delivering our message both at large events and with the media. I recommend SpeechComm to anyone who is looking to improve the content and quality of their messaging.”

“It’s really difficult to overrate the experience SpeechComm delivers to our clients during the media training sessions they have been conducting for us through the years.  Whether its C-level executives, product evangelists or newly minted corporate spokespeople, Elise’s expertise, energy and engaging personal style combine to help clients achieve their personal best in their roles as stewards of the corporate or product brand. Once a client experiences a session with Elise and the SpeechComm team, they no longer have to be “persuaded” that media training is valuable.  A really great experience!”

“As a writer and a natural introvert, public speaking is not in my wheelhouse at all. When my novel came out, one of the biggest surprises was how much public speaking was required as part of my reader outreach. I could not have done any of it without Elise Simard’s thoughtful and intuitive coaching. Elise helped me go from someone who was terrified of public speaking to someone who actually enjoys it. She is one of the best consultants in the speech communications field and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
