"I've attended many one-hour workshops promising to share useful tips to improve presentations, and have always been disappointed. So I was surprised and thrilled that your presentation skills workshop at CACHE 2010 actually delivered as promised! I came away with several great ideas and a clear idea of what I need to do to improve all my presentations. Thanks again! I love the SUASION Staircase and the actioin items you pair up with each step. This is very user-friendly approach to customizing the message to maximize influence."          

Hollie Devlin, Senior Vice President, Integrated Healthcare Communications

"What an inspiration and model you are presenting since you do so well 'walk the talk'. Your style is welcoming, and your passion and enthusiasm contagious! For a very rare time in my life, I did not feel like I needed any handout, you were leading the presentation brilliantly! Thank you for a very useful, refreshing and inspiring moment at CACHE - one more time!"

Maryvonne Hamel, Business Director, IntraMed

"Thank you so much for your amazing workshop the other day. After hearing you, I wonder how I did all those seminars and talks without knowing what I know now! I am re-thinking how I teach and where I should make adjustments. I am incorporating this into everything.  Thank you again."

Ingrid Davis, RNC, Registered Nutritional Consultant, Healing Hands

"I wanted to personally thank you for the amazing presentation you provided for the physicians in Montreal last weekend and also for the continued follow-up feedback and support information.  I now understand why our CHE Specialists speak so highly of you."

Chris Lytle, CHE Manager, Lundbeck Canada

"I love to teach and feel that I am reasonable at getting information across to people.  I was not looking forward to a workshop [that I thought would be] on 'where to stand'  and 'not have too much on my PowerPoint'.  I also believed that some people have it or they don't.  What was amazing and scary at the same time was you changed my idea of teaching into something way more dynamic.  I could be better and I have some ideas of how I might do that.  All passion aside these tools can make me better, so thank you."

 Gregory Murphy, MD, FRCP(C) Anaesthesiology, Medical Director Kingston Orthopaedic and Pain Institute, Assistant Professor Queen's University

"I have never seen doctors write down so many ideas at a TT nor had so many approach me afterward saying they took away relevant ideas that they will try! - and this was an experienced speaking group! They loved it! Thank you!" 

Tamara Morton, CHE Specialist, Lundbeck         

"I have totally changed my teaching style after hearing your 'Sleepy to Sensational' lecture. And not so surprising... I am getting WAY more interaction from the students. :)"

Stacey Lova Grona, BScPT, MSc, Program Director, Continuing Physical Therapy Education, Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Saskatchewan

"I thought I would for the first time ever, give you some feedback on a training program that I recently attended...Coaching medical speakers. I found this program particularly interesting which is strange since I have taken many many training programs. This one stood out in my experience because of two factors especially. It was first of all, distinctly aimed at the pharma situation that I live daily. That is, Jill Donahue, talked about our industry specifically instead of the usual program that talks in broad generalities. As such, I was interested and tuned in. However, the second thing that really stood out was the follow-up. I have never been to a course that taught a concept and then actually did it in action by following up with attendees, three weeks later by phone to bring home the messages of the course. This was a first and I commend Jill for producing a program so unique and outstanding. Well done."

Brian McKillican, Medical Representative, Sanofi-Aventis

"The Persuasion Rx Proven Methods to Influence course, allows you to think outside of the box and create strategies to help influence your customers to buy into our goals or objectives. It really got me to rethink some of my approaches in how I interact with my customers. The course was very practical and allowed lots of time for group sharing and participation. This course will have a positive impact not only in my territory but also personally as well. I would encourage and highly recommend this course as it really allows you to become more "aware" of yourself and interactions with others."

Salim Lakhani, Hospital Sales Rep, Sanofi-Aventis

"Thanks to you and your training, I was able to work with the representatives to address a challenge/need that they currently face. I was able to increase access to often difficult family health teams and attendance at evening CHEs!  This also allowed for an enhanced relationship between my team and my leadership in the area of CHE. I very much appreciate your work and help as I integrated into my new role and my new team."

Dana Smith, CHE Specialist, Lundbeck

"Just a little note to thank you once more for what was a terrific development opportunity yesterday. What a chance to have heard you share your experience and expertise with us and for starting a process that I truly believe in with regards to CHE and I look forward to our discussion later this year. It was inspiring and got my brain thinking differently, which is exactly what we need from time to time rather than being on the automatic pilot!"

Isabelle Pleszczynska, CHE Manager, Lundbeck

"This is one of the best training programs I have ever attended.  From defining goals to needs assessments and follow-up action plans, this program will help ensure success when rolling out CHE programs - Maximizing ROI.  This program would be perfect for new sales representatives to even the most senior of representatives."

Doug Daniell, Sanofi-Aventis

"I've been in CHE for over 20 years and this was by far the most useful program I've been to. I only wish I knew then what I know now!"

Bob Chester, CHE Manager, Astra Zeneca

"I'm so pleased with what our CHE specialists took out of Jill's training. They report that implementing her  tips proved useful in the district!!!
I was convinced working with Jill would bring everyone precious value and I'm happy to hear the associates feel the same way!"

Isabelle Pleszczynska, CHE Manager

 "Jill delivered an exciting, captivating presentation that motivated me to employ practical tactics for a new launch presentation. I can't thank her enough for the tips to really add pizzazz AND influence my audience! And her presentation style was absolutely one of the most motivating and refreshing that I have seen in a long while."
