Here’s what others say about Elaine’s speaking/training abilities:
“If I summon the modifiers I’d use to describe that ‘special teacher’ who first inspired me, they read like my idea of a bestseller: warm; personable; great listener; knowledgeable; global perspective; passionate; wise; and demanding high standards. Elaine Fogel brings each of those qualities to the forum as a presenter. Her interactive presentation on branding integrated a broad range of data, anecdotal illustrations, deep understanding and more than a dash of humor. She brought all of this information to a meaningful conclusion — and all I wanted was more! Elaine is that rare teacher who leaves me hungry to continue learning, applying the lessons, and developing my skills so that my organization’s clients will benefit. I loved her workshop and will profit from its lessons for years to come!” Marj McKinty, Development Director, Lincoln Medical Education Partnership
"Omigawd – your session was the best!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! At the very least, we’ll be looking at assertive branding elements in our individual departments and work efforts, and have the larger conversation with the entire organization as we move forward. Thank you for your INSPIRATION !!!" Arizona Theatre Company
“Elaine Fogel’s tailored seminar on branding was the perfect remedy for our (homeless shelter) staff experiencing challenges with internal and external communications during a time of growth and an $18 million capital campaign! During the presentation, Elaine made the staff laugh, made them cry, and gave them hope that they can conquer anything. Everyone left uplifted and wanting her back for a follow-up meeting.” Robin E. Dunn, CFRE, Chief Fund Development Officer UMOM New Day Centers
“Elaine Fogel of Solutions Marketing & Consulting LLC exceeded my expectations as a workshop facilitator and trainer. She presented a program on customer service tailored for library staff, and really showcased her meticulous preparation; warm, approachable demeanor; and professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her back or recommend her to others!” Janet "Jaime" Ball, Continuing Education Coordinator Library Development Division, Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records
“Elaine is a dynamic, entertaining and engaging presenter. Her knowledge of branding in the nonprofit sector is vast and well-researched. She presents this important topic with easy to understand language and examples. Non-marketing professionals walk away with a greater understanding of the importance of brand recognition, while those in the field are able to immediately apply her suggestions and recommendations. AFP members attending her program rated her as exceptional; stating that she was knowledgeable, she provided “meaty” information and her humor and enthusiasm held their attention.” Christin Valentini, 2005 Education Chair Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Arizona Chapter
“For people starting their own business, marketing is vital to success, yet is often one of the trickiest parts of the business. A majority of requests for one-on-one support from SELF deal with marketing. Your presentation clearly defined branding’s role in marketing and provided a much deeper understanding of the concept for attendees. Furthermore, your presentation gave both examples and tools that attendees could learn from and begin to implement that same day. The response to your presentation was wonderful. Throughout the hour, participants were taking notes furiously, trying to capture every nugget you offered. I got lots of positive feedback on both the material and your enthusiastic teaching style.” Sonia Singh, Self-Employment Loan Fund, Phoenix, AZ
“Elaine Fogel was a presenter at the Arizona Humanities Council Board of Directors Meeting where she spoke about the importance of branding for nonprofit organizations. Her talk was succinct and nicely organized, and included a PowerPoint component. Her delivery was lively and engaging. We invited Elaine because of her many years of marketing experience and her excellent reputation as a consultant. It was a pleasure working with her, and our board members appreciated what she had to say.” Juliana Yoder, Executive Director, Arizona Humanities Council
“I enjoyed all aspects of your presentation. Your sound advice was put to use immediately at MorrFilm.com. We work a great deal with people who don't always understand the difference between sales, marketing and branding...you were able to give me a better way to describe the three to my clients. Thanks for being you : )” Les Bradley www.morrfilm.com
“Your ability to tailor your presentation to fit the educational needs of students studying nonprofit organizations was very helpful. Your presentation abilities were superior and you did well in engaging the students and promoting student participation… Your Power Point and lecture were very captivating and provided a lot of useful information about branding for nonprofit organizations…Your energy for the subject area provided a useful and captivating lecture that will serve the students well as they continue studying nonprofit organizations.” Stacey Vicario, Sr. Program Coordinator, American Humanics, School of Community Resources and Development, Arizona State University |
