TESTIMONIALS
“Chris and the Ember Team taught me how to take the anxiety associated with public speaking and turn it into energy. Their program helped me become a storyteller and not simply a presenter of slides. Ember’s program is a significant value-add for any company.
”
“Having had the opportunity to work with the Ember team since 2009 has pushed me to evolve as a Product Management Executive. Ember’s ability to bring out the best traits in a speaker to help them connect and engage with their audience through storytelling has helped me immensely across four different roles and two different brands, (Bauer Hockey and FootJoy). Their coaching and insight has dramatically improved my presentation skill set, enhanced my confidence in front of an audience of any size and helped the brand and product stories resonate with both internal and external stakeholders. ”
“I came to know Chris and his firm several years ago through their client relationship with the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies. NAMIC is a trade association representing the interests of mutual insurance in the US, and I had been on the Board and a Director of NAMIC at the time their relationship began. Our conventions and meetings had always been exceptional, but it was clear to me immediately after walking into the main ballroom in the first meeting after we connected with Ember that we had gone to a whole new level. The quality of the set-up, the excellence of the graphics, the use of multiple media, the creative use of lighting, and the top-staff on-site team to work with us were a major step-up. As a speaker at many of these meetings, I can tell you that having all the environment around you so professionally managed significantly enhances the overall quality of your performance! This is a professional, high-class firm that will make any meeting instantly better! I highly recommend.”
