“Coupled with his masterful direction and patience, our team was able to launch from beginner to confident in any media situation. JJ’s obvious years of experience meant that our session culminated in recorded one on one sessions where he both brought out opportunities for the team to share their in depth knowledge but challenged them to navigate tough situations, meaning any future challenges would be easy to deal with. A huge thanks to the Clarity team and especially JJ for his time, I’d highly recommend these sessions and in fact we look forward to scheduling another session to further develop our skills.”
