Jen is a rockstar and truly felt like a member of our internal team throughout the media training process.
She is quick on her feet, strategic and makes new spokespeople feel at ease, welcome and calm as they engage in a new kind of conversation - no matter how difficult that conversation may be.

Media Training that WORKS
Jennifer has the ability to synthesize huge ideas into TV-friendly components is invaluable. After our practice interviews and discussions I felt fully prepared and confident about expressing my ideas in the way I wanted to on the pressure-cooker of live TV. I would work with Jennifer again in a nano-second: in fact, I would insist on it!

Melissa Hellen was enormously helpful
Melissa Hellen was enormously helpful. I knew within minutes of our first session that I was in the hands of a true professional. I have done years of public speaking, with consistent feedback that I am effective and entertaining. I figured she wouldn't have much to teach me. I could not possibly have been more wrong! She was very perceptive, very skilled in communicating her observations, and genuinely and warmly supportive in preparing me for the radio interview format. Thank you Melissa!

David Puente project for Insider Inc
Last month Insider Inc (parent company of Business Insider and Insider) hired David Puente to help prepare its head of technology, Alex Charalambides, for a keynote presentation at an annual internal conference which Axel Springer, our corporate parent, hosts at its Berlin headquarters. David was brought in at the last minute, just days before Alex was to present on-stage. In only one online video session, David was able to be of great help to Alex. David radically improved the presentation itself, making it more engaging, lively, and impactful. Alex benefited just as much from David’s delivery coaching. Alex says that he felt much more at ease, focused, and grounded as a result of his work with David. The results speak for themselves: Alex was delighted by his performance, and the presentation was extremely well received, with Axel Springer’s CEO acknowledging that Alex stole the show that day. Kudos to David for a job well done. Insider Inc looks forward to working with him again in the future.

Melissa is consistently excellent & well prepared!
Melissa is consistently excellent. She knows our organization really well, but still, she always does her homework and comes in extremely well prepared. Her questions are spot on. She also knows exactly how to engage with our team. She always strikes the right tone and tenor with her feedback. It's never too easy or too harsh. The response to the training that I have gotten from both senior execs as well as manager-level staff has been very positive. Folks are grateful for the training and find high value in Melissa's coaching. If there was an option to give 10 stars, I would. Melissa is fantastic and we will absolutely use her in the future. She has brought exceptional value to our team.

Melissa Hellen was a indispensable part…
Melissa Hellen was a indispensable part of the success of one of our recent book campaigns. Not only did she provide excellent coaching for TV and print media for our author, she was patient, personal and empathetic to our author's concerns and fears going into a big media campaign. Despite her busy schedule, Melissa made herself available for in-person sessions and outside encouragement throughout our entire campaign. We couldn't have done it without her!

I highly recommend Clarity Media Group for media and speaker training.
I've worked closely with Melissa Hellen for several years to media and speaker train leaders in all six of our Regions and Comcast's West Division. She trains our external communications professionals as well, because we believe these muscles need to be excercised -- whether it's public speaking, media interviews or influencer engagement.
Melissa's authentic approach and insight quickly garners trust from her trainees. She gets to know the trainees, customizes her sessions and genuinely cares about the participants' progress. It's highly rewarding to see the trainees' evolution from the beginning to the end of the training session.
While I haven't worked with Ken Fuhr as much, I have experienced his media training sessions as well. His professional background as a producer lends credibility to his training and he's able to share interesting examples that help drive his messages home.
Both are exceptional partners.I will continue to hire Clarity Media for this important work, and I look forward to more opportunities in the future.
