Testimonials

Internal Communications Coordinator

Internal Communications Conference 2014

Eben’s Quick and Snappy Presentations was a refreshing, informative and expertly delivered session that every presenter can learn from. Eben tells it like it is and provides practical advice that can be utilized immediately. As a communications professional with many years of experience working with both internal and external audiences, I found Eben’s session highly relevant (and necessary)!
