“I recently had the immense pleasure of working with Donna Cornachio, who helped me prepare for a couple of media appearances, including one on the Today Show—in other words, high stakes for my career. I was completely unprepared for how thoroughly her wisdom and guidance would change not only how I approached a couple of interviews, but how I have approached every media event since. Her calm, professional demeanor and her practical, organized approach to preparing me for the events were absolutely indispensable. If I could, I’d see her about once a month just for a brush-up lesson. I’m truly grateful for Donna’s help. Honestly, I don’t know how I would have done it without her. And the events have, so far, been huge successes. So thank you, Donna. Working with you was such a gift. ”
