All my fears about smarmy publicity obligations vanished. In their place: a sense of opportunity in alignment with my deepest values. The last few minutes of Susan Harrow’s course actually brought tears to my eyes — I had such a feeling of being in the company of someone with a great heart. As Susan kept saying, it’s about integrity. What a relief!

Sound bites are not just gimmicky marketing techniques, they are a very effective way to communicate, and a skill well worth developing. All this was clear and consistent through Susan’s core philosophy, coming from her deepest values. This makes her an ideal media coach for experts who hate (or shy away from) publicity!
A few months ago I self-published a book. Just yesterday I had my first radio interview. I found “Susan Harrow” in my head as the interviewer began to ask questions. I was able to answer questions intuitively with creative authenticity. I found that my non-profit “sound bites” flowed genuinely out of the story of my book. I left the radio station feeling empowered, confident and energized. This is quite a contrast, since I have needed a nap following most interviews in the past.

I want to say a huge thank you for your course. It has provided me a whole new way to look at and prepare for conversations and questions. You provided a huge wealth of information and exercises.
It helped me fine-tune and articulate EXACTLY what my message is for Touched Twice United. Working with the Executive Director, we are working to come up with effective sound bites to use in marketing venues including Facebook and our re-design of the website.

My confidence has increased. I feel better prepared in presenting myself as professionally as possible.
Tangible Result: I volunteered to share an exercise in front of 50 HR professionals at a meeting. The presenter said it was the best she’d ever heard and I received many compliments afterwards. I remained calm through the whole experience!

You’ve been wonderful. You have just been a total Godsend to me. I have to tell you that I am immensely grateful to you. I must say I really was feeling very insecure about being interviewed on Oprah for an entire hour and just being able to have your knowledge and your support and your comments … I think you’ve just done a fabulous job. Many, many thanks.

Susan Harrow is a great media coach. In fact, what I learned from her, including how to project a relaxed but professional style, improved my effectiveness tremendously. Highly recommended!

You taught me about the power of sincerity and being your real self. Yes you taught me about sound bites, and the technical parts of how to handle an effective interview, but you also taught me the foundation.
The foundation is: your gift is your message, and it must be passionate and authentic.
You are a blessing.

If you want to know how to present information in a concise way, that will get you to the relationship that you want, then this is the course that you want. You will learn the fundamentals so that you can figure out how they apply to your personal needs and you will have those skills forever.

It really made me focus on communicating what I am about, which lead me to rethinking that entirely…not changing my basic essential purpose, but seeing it in a new way and being able to articulate that thread that has been running through my life, and then see how I can clear the leaves off that path and move with more confidence anew in that direction. So it has been, all in all, quite a transformation.

You deliver a fantastic course that delights me and gives me thought-provoking and practical content every single week. As an experienced author and media professional I found it to be incredibly valuable–this training helped me integrate sound bite thinking and turn it into an ongoing practice. When Susan Harrow asks you to “listen for gems,” take that to heart.  She helped me crack open the challenge of a personal story I had been longing to share with my readers, but did not know how to communicate it. Together we crafted a way to do so with integrity and purpose.

I just want to tell you how happy I am with your program. It’s VERY professional and I feel like I’m getting good value for my investment already. I’ve had so many wins from your course. So it has been, all in all, quite a transformation.

I admire you so much. You are a true role model for how to be in this world, and how to conduct oneself and one’s life purpose with grace, integrity, ease, and respect. You bring a Zen mastery and mindfulness and integrity to everything that you do and present it in a fun way.

Shortly before taking this course I had the opportunity to be invited for a one-hour radio interview about a program I was offering. I did okay, but realized I could have done much better using sound bites. The image you portray can easily be tarnished if you are not ready for dealing with the media. What I learned in this course has prepared me to feel more confident and more calm and to make sure my message gets across next time I’m invited to be interviewed – and it will happen.

While I am very accustomed and comfortable speaking in front of large groups, I feel like I have learned a new language that I didn’t know existed. I’ve shortened my personal story down to less than 45 seconds (a miracle). And not only did I create focused, client-centric material, the director was thrilled with my preparation. I’m grateful for all your help and my new context around sound bites. I appreciate all the work you and your team put into making this so organized and content rich. This is an impressive program. I’m a fan.

During this seminar I was taken on by a top talent agency and I am sure without a doubt that it was my clear no-nonsense speaking (taught by you) that secured me this. If you want clear and concise support to create sound bites that rock, then this course is for you. Susan is precise and to the point and after numerous interviews I now know how I should have done them. Since this course  I have had two interviews with TV producers which resulted in a series. My confidence has improved and I feel I now have that spark and knowledge that any media star needs. Thank you again.

You inspired me to do some PR locally and I actually got an NBC affiliate to do a story on me within a week, which ran in 12 markets 20 times in one month! I’ve gotten my local newspaper to do stories or news briefs on me almost monthly. You’re GREAT! I really thank you for all the fabulous resources you put on your website and your GREAT newsletter. You’re the best I’ve ever seen!

Susan Harrow is the premiere expert marketing strategist and media coach that I trust to help me create and design my Olympic peak performance coaching programs, national media appearances, and entrepreneurial goals. Just one single consultation in one of Susan’s Q and A sessions is worth the entire price of the Sound bite course for me.

I’ve loved your classes and you are brilliant! I learned so much and my confidence has made great leaps. This course will really get you to think, speak and write in sound bites; you begin to understand and appreciate the power of your words and learn very practical ways to engage your audience. I learned how to maximize my impact by being creative, relevant and riveting.
This is exciting and confidence enhancing work! I know I can create sound bites now that will sizzle and boost my business big time. Susan is a brilliant teacher. It’s so good to learn from someone who is so authentic, personable–and values excellence.

I bought the course for my business, but you mentioned that sound bites can be used in every aspect of your life – and you were right! They recently announced a contest for HR professionals to win an invitation to (Hewlett Packard) HP Discover which is a large, yearly conference held in Vegas. I put together a video presentation and used your sound bite techniques to get my message across.
I won the contest and will be going to Vegas! I’m thrilled at the results of the project and I owe it to you for your sound bite advice. You’re amazing! I used the first technique you taught in the course – headline, 3 points, and epiphany.
Your sound bites really work! I love this course and am very excited to use your media coaching to achieve my goals! Thank you so much!

This course is an amazing combination of expert coaching with media specialists, and truly helpful self-guided programs. The course has helped me hone my message; gain confidence; and create specific stories that I can use in interviews, on my website, and on my blog. It was not only informative, but also really fun.
