"It was a fantastic to experience Veronica McGowan's presentation at Leadership Victoria's Igniting Leadership Program. I found her insights on networking both insightful but also very practical, especially on how to make a memorable impression and being attentive. I've since used a number of Veronica's suggestions now and found them extremely effective. Veronica's presentation is a must see for anyone who is planning on making new connections."

Stefan Grun , Marketing & Communications Manager, Leadership Victoria

"Since 2007, PRHelp has worked with the Victorian Women's Domestic Violence Crisis Service to train survivors of family violence and victims of sexual assault to be confident when working with the media or doing public speaking work. Veronica truly works miracles, giving women the skills, the confidence and that little bit of magic, that lets them go out and take on the world. The training is fun, real and fast, Veronica not only gives people the knowledge she also empowers them to believe in themselves, feel that they can do the job, be professional and at the same time inform, enlighten and challenge. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and this year-to-date our advocates have taken up more than 70 media and public speaking opportunities thanks to PRHelp.

"A natural communicator, Veronica is able to inspire women with little or no prior media experience as well as seasoned performers. After the training our advocates achieved 20 media appearances, including feature articles in two national magazines and 10 public speaking opportunities."

Jane Ashton, Communications Coordinator, Women's Domestic Violence Crisis Service Victoria.

"PRhelp has provided strategic communications and public relations services for many years. We value the provision of timely, wanted and accurate advice and support. Importantly to us, we find that the people at PRhelp are generous with their ideas and time.

I am pleased to vouch for Veronica's integrity and professionalism and that she is a pleasure to work with."

Karin Knoester, Chief Executive, The Gawler Foundation

"We found ourselves in early 2003, four cinemas nearly ready, films booked, lots of ideas...but woops - how do we let people know it's here? Veronica McGowan came in to save us and created a marketing plan and promptly executed it flawlessly. On opening night the Premier of Victoria re-opened the cinemas after 20 years of being closed, the TV news, radio and print media covered the event - a huge success."

Michael Smith, Managing Director, Sun Theatre.

"I find that working with Veronica and the PRhelp team is a pleasure: she's quick to respond to our needs, and brings a wealth of experience with her. She's great at writing media releases and is quick to get across, in a simple way, the sometimes very complex messages that we want to communicate."

Sally Sinclair, CEO, NESA.

"The Bushfire Recovery Committee of Whittlesea asked PRhelp for some assistance in dealing with the media in the lead up to the first anniversary of February 7 bushfires.

The work of PRhelp meant that our committee could more confidently and professionally engage with the media and communicate with them in a manner that enabled each participant to remain in control.

Feedback from the participants was that they found the workshop not only helpful and practical but that it was interesting, and amusing, as well as respectful of the needs of the group."

Larry Challis, Whittlesea Bushfire Community Recovery Committee

"Veronica is knowledgeable and resourceful; she is politically astute and knows how to effectively work with the media as well as government. PRhelp is an agency that is small enough to really care about the results they get for their clients."

Shula Kentwell, CEO, A4e Australia
