Testimonials
“After doing the complete communicator course, Roz has given me the cheat codes now of not only being a better communicator, but also potentially being a better PR person for my business. Since the course I’ve done already two more impromptu interviews – and have already seen the improvement in my communication, in terms of having an agenda, taking time to think before speaking, using less ums and ers, but still sounding authentic and legitmate, in my own unique way.”
