Led by PR strategist and Emmy and Peabody award-winning former broadcast journalist Nancy Pender, we can equip you with the skills and self-assuredness to engage all manner of media and public speaking.

We offer simple, tactical steps to help you become more successful at work and beyond.
Our principal and CEO, Nancy Pender, utilizes decades of experience and outstanding journalistic credentials to help clients understand the ground rules for working with reporters, avoid media mistakes and effectively connect with and influence key audiences.
Marketing and customer communications are critical components of successfully operating a business. However, these core tasks can be overlooked or rushed while managing day-to-day operations. That's where it pays to partner with a reliable and experienced communications and content development team to help spread your message and let current and potential customers know they're valued.
It’s not just what you say, but how you say it. Your tone of voice, body language, and eye contact all play a critical role in how an audience receives your message and how well it sticks. Our media and presentation skills coaching, led by experienced workshop facilitators, will show you the subtle, yet critical steps you can take to become a more self-assured, impactful communicator.
In today’s digital world, potentially damaging news travels faster than ever before. That’s why effective crisis management is one of the most important functions of public relations. We can help you prepare for and manage a media crisis so it becomes a minor distraction rather than reputation-destroying disaster.
Working hand-in-hand with you, we'll devise a plan of action based on the specific goals and objectives you wish to achieve.

“Nancy came highly recommended to Wavicle Data Solutions from the executive team at RoomIt by CWT. As a fast-growing professional services firm, it’s imperative that we provide our employees with training opportunities to further their personal growth and to ensure we always deliver an exceptional client experience. Nancy helped our teams, many of which are highly technical, to hone their soft skills, such as how to ask questions effectively, listen, and deliver persuasive presentations. We surveyed the participants of all 8 sessions and 99% rated the training as outstanding. Nancy is engaging, genuine, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone or team looking to perfect their communications skills ”
"I have literally recommended Nancy to a number of different executives and CEOs in my network and adds down EVERY SINGLE time, I get a resounding THANK YOU from the person I recommend her to. Am not surprised because Ive worked with her first hand, but the consistency, the standard is always matched, always top notch and always awesome!"
“Nancy's program was exceptionally well-tailored to remote work and remote locations. She expertly adapted to our global workforce in the US, India, China and London. Her ability to customize individual training sessions to employees' needs was superb. This unique ability to customize training and deliver it remotely differentiates her from the many cookie-cutter alternatives. Terrific job, Nancy!”
“‘Genius’ is just one word to describe Nancy’s coaching and public speaking tips. I recently had the honor of being coached by Nancy just prior to one of my speaking engagements. I was able to immediately put into practice her tips and my polished delivery was noticed by several of my colleagues. Nancy also shared several techniques to better engage my virtual audiences.
