What past participants have said...
"This workshop was eminently practical and hands on – Jacky walks you through all the insider steps, structure, and tips to get your voice out there. I left not just with the contacts and pitch I needed, but also the confidence from learning from other wonderful women."
"The content was well-defined and easy to follow for people with little previous media exposure. Jacky is a smart facilitator with the exact knowledge needed to provide attendees with direction to get their first ever media exposure."
"Extremely practical content. (And the homework proved that right away!) Very in-depth on pertinent points. Very clear. Jacky Habib is an excellent instructor: very clear, focused (and nimble at helping others focus), thoroughly listens and replies."
