Testimonials
“Elliott was moderating a panel on AI and fintech on which our CEO, Jeremy Achin, was speaking. Jeremy was so impressed by Elliott's professionalism ("best moderator I've ever seen") that he decided there and then that he wanted to find a way for them to work together. And so, a few months later, when we needed someone to do some media training and to moderate a video debate on AI, Elliott was not just the natural choice. He was the only choice. As we'd hoped, he did an excellent job, putting Jeremy and the other speaker at ease, and deploying his television experience to ensure the shoot was a great success. I would happily recommend Elliott to anyone who asks, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“Elliott gave a really good media background presentation to the execs followed by several practical sessions. It was particularly useful to run 'dummy' interviews for the execs, which were then played back immediately and critiqued. I look forward to working with him again.”
“Deborah's help was indispensable in navigating media interviews during periods of tension. She taught me how to answer nightmare questions, how to craft compelling stories, and the importance of non-verbal communication.”
“I was fortunate to have Elliott Gotkine train me several times and it was priceless. He is one of the best. Highly recommend!”
“Elliott helped me get prepared for an important event I had. The public speaking training was customized for my needs, and in a tight schedule I was fully prepared and confident that it will be great. His experience of different audiences and his passion for public speaking is truly valuable!”
