It has been a pleasure working with Nicole Harris and her team at Solv Communications to facilitate media training for our executive team and senior leaders.

Beverlie Stuart

Vice President, Business and Organizational Development at Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology

As a VP at Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology, when I attended the workshop with Nicole Harris and Solv Communications, one of the first things that I felt was a level of confidence and that was because I felt that I had a personal coach right there with me throughout their training. I communicate every day in the work that I do but I was always nervous when it came to media interviews, until I took media training with Nicole Harris.

Nicole Harris is a veteran network television news anchor and reporter, and I would highly recommend her sessions, content, and stellar instruction to anyone that is looking to gain more confidence in managing communications with the media and their stakeholders.
