CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Your ability to understand how to coach each person was amazing. You met people where they needed you to be, and pushed just the right amount based on each personality. I was truly blown away watching that – it’s a real talent that I don’t know I’ve seen before.
Kathryn Janicek is a seasoned media expert who has helped me take my professional speaking, branding, image, and media presence to the next level. I most appreciate her intelligence, vast knowledge, key contacts, keen insight and candor. She helps me eliminate my blind spots by giving me trusted feedback I needed to hear in a way that is constructive and supportive.
Her drive, determination, attention to detail and professionalism really sets her apart from anyone else. When I am on set, whether television or radio, I know I’m prepared because she prepared! I know I’m in good hands.
Working with Kathryn was awesome! We had been struggling to get the attention our startup deserved and within a few weeks, Kathryn had us on TV and radio… Our company wouldn’t have received the attention nor achieved the growth we’ve had without her help!
She gave me advice on what to say and focus on during the interview and how to look my best on camera! I felt very relaxed and comfortable because of her help!
Want results quickly? Kathryn is your go-to coach!
As a TV News Director and former co-worker of Kathryn’s, I can assure you she’s the real deal and knows of what she speaks.
I knew Kathryn would be my saving grace. Her connections, her media savvy, her organization, and her quickness is an asset… she is born with incredible business skills and her recommendations for media were localized and strategic. She handled the hard stuff with ease, and when I needed last minute assistance, onsite in Chicago, she said “I got this. Tell me time and location.” And just like the fairy Godmother of Everything, she granted that wish too.
When I need the best in Chicago for media coaching, executive production, TV production/personality or scripting, editing and telling “THE STORY”; I go to Kathryn Janicek! There is no one else in the country I would rely on for my media and production strategies than Kathryn.
Kathryn provides excellent feedback that can be immediately implemented. Her coaching leads to successful presentations – Kathryn was great!
She knows how to position you to reach the biggest audience and has the relationships to take advantage of everything she teaches. Aside from her knowledge and professionalism, she’s energetic, conscientious, hardworking and kind. Her high standards and quality of work make her an invaluable asset to myself and my team.
Kathryn created two amazing videos for us that expertly communicated our mission and vision through story-telling. She crafted stories that shared the struggles and triumphs of two individuals served by Aspire that captivated our audience and engaged many new donors, volunteers, and partners in our vision of inclusion. Bravo!
