OTS 207: Create. Pivot. Shift. – Heidi Berenson

Today’s guest is a two-time Emmy® and Peabody Award-winner. Her credits read like a Who's Who of network television: ABC News, Good Morning America, CBS News and CNN.

She is founder and CEO of Berenson Communications where she Powers Up the Performance of top professionals - whether facing the Press, a Presentation or a Pitch - virtually or IRL (in real life).

Her client list ranges from the Fortune 500 C-suite to Non-profits and from Members of Congress to Entrepreneurs. She coaches clients to "up their communications” game: verbally, vocally and visually. A must — in this Zoom era.

Please join me in welcoming Heidi Berenson.
