"Thank you so much for your help on my [award] acceptance comments. Your input made the presentation crisp and engaging. I really enjoyed working with you!" "I have spoken in public in various capacities many, many times. But in the process, I had developed some bad habits that I didn't even know I had. Spending time with Maureen helped me identify those habits and to develop some new techniques. The impact was significant and immediate. I am now more confident that whatever the information or message I am trying to convey is being delivered in the most impactful way." "As the membership chair of the Calistoga Rotary Club, I invited Maureen Merrill to lead a workshop on membership with our board of directors and other key members of the club. Succinctly, she did an amazing job! Maureen possesses the full slate of requisite skills and personal characteristics needed to facilitate large groups and to lead a meeting to a desired outcome. She is energetic, knowledgeable, articulate, funny and a dynamic and skillful presenter. Best of all, she applies common sense to her work and is extremely skilled at finding common themes in divergent opinions, and then leading all participants to consensus. In one word, she's a winner!" "Harris Merrill will open your eyes to the opportunities within yourself. They provide an in-depth analysis of one's personality type and how to understand the personality types of those around us. It is of incredible value to understand our communication style and how we are perceived by others. Understanding the 3 elements of the "First Impression" and how to maximize the occasion. Learning to "listen" to our customers at a deeper level. Identifying one's personal brand. What is it that separates you from the competition. Working with Harris Merrill is like taking an express elevator to the top floor. Exposing you to views that you never knew existed!" " I really enjoyed your session on “Elevator Speech and Personal Branding”. The questions you asked and your insight into the use of the correct words and images to help create a brand for our business was very valuable. Thank you." "Thank you so much for the 'branding' workshop! It was extremely helpful in helping me to market myself in a brief couple of sentences to prospective clients. Now I can tell them exactly what I do, and how I can help them in just a few short moments in an interesting way, without the usual 'boring' sales pitch! It really put some sparkle in my presentation! "The timing of your presentation on "Elevator Speech and Personal Branding" could not have been more timely for me, or more helpful. I was in a very motivated space to buff the edges of my business but hadn't pin-pointed some of the areas. "It was a very efficient use of my time to have Jeff and Maureen help me develop my presentations. With their coaching, my speaking skills and speech content improved beyond my expectations." “I recommend this service for anyone who wants to polish a presentation to the public and get expert pointers on delivery.” “I recommend Harris Merrill for anyone who wants to speak more confidently in public. They have an efficient and very thoughtful style that works well for someone in business.” "We had a short time in which to prepare a deputy for a sensitive television interview, the first he had done. Thanks to the expert preparation that Harris Merrill provided, the appearance was a success." "As a sports psychologist and as a motivational speaker, I know the value of professional coaching. Jeff and Maureen worked with me to organize an important presentation... presentation for 200 people, which went extremely well. Their style of coaching works. They are warm and direct and very knowledgeable. They earned my "two thumbs up!". |
