testimonials MARKETING COMPANIES "When I needed clarity and direction for my business, Amy knew exactly what to do. She brought clarity to how I describe my media and art consulting services. We dissected our existing portfolio, identified new markets, repositioned images and overhauled the text. Deborah Roundtree "Our new website is awesome. Thanks for taking us into the next era of EASi via the information super highway. Your efforts overall have really helped the organization as a whole unearth and communicate what it is we do and what it is that represents value to the market." Don Gillotti MOTIVATING EMPLOYEES "Amy showed me how to repackage what I told Wall Street analysts to make it more meaningful to 13,000 employees. She helped me build a relationship with employees that motivated them to focus on customers and deliver outstanding results." Sam Ginn MANAGING CHANGE "As part of a major corporate restructuring, Amy partnered with me to launch a new Shared Services operation. Her invaluable counsel and communications support helped my team manage sensitive outsourcing and procurement situations without losing key employees during the transition." Gary Schindler PUBLIC SPEAKING "Thanks to Amy's coaching I've conquered my fear of public speaking. She taught me how to capitalize on my strengths and channel my nervous energy in ways that greatly improve my delivery." Nancy Floyd "Amy helped me deliver a compelling graduation speech to students at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. She worked with me every step of the way -- writing the speech, helping me own the words and rehearsing. I couldn't have done it without her." Arun Sarin HANDLING THE PRESS "Amy showed me how to control media interviews. I learned how to get my message across and keep even the most tenacious reporters from getting more from me than I was willing to say." Arun Sarin "Amy is a pro. I always knew that when she was involved, I would be well prepared for any communications challenge -- whether it was dealing with the media or any other audience." Sue Swenson FACILITATING MEETINGS "When I hired Amy Damianakes to facilitate two Cisco meetings, she came with excellent references. However, experiencing Amy at work in the sessions spoke much louder than the references. Her ability to facilitate difficult meetings is outstanding and this becomes clear during her meeting preparation. The preparation includes a structured approach to asking pertinent questions to prepare for the session. One of Amy's unique skills is her capability to come up to speed on a new topic, including all the associated acronyms. During the meetings, her professionalism is exceptional and she appropriately keeps the room on track to meet the stated objectives. When necessary, Amy is able to adapt to changes in the approach to ensure the meeting goals are achieved." Lori Fontana |
