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.
