Testimonials

Neal Shapiro, CEO of WNET-TV (former President of NBC News)

“Roberta loves finding great characters and great stories.  I have seen her work with correspondents, producers, camera people, editors, as well as students and administrators. She brings enthusiasm and skill to every project and gets the best from everyone she works with.”

Susan C. Riker, HelpAge International, Director Strategic Partnerships

“Roberta is an effective and inspiring leader dedicated to helping to shape future women leaders around the globe. I watched her teach a group of Muslim women how to think of themselves as leaders with a voice.  I observed a transformation occur in that classroom and, months later, I watched those same women raise their voices throughout the Middle East during the Arab Spring.”

Diane Rosenfeld, Harvard Law School, Lecturer on Law

“Roberta is the consummate communications professional. She is able to take information and turn it into a defining message of just what you were trying to say. But she makes it better. I have worked with her in many diverse settings, and she is always a warm presence that makes people shine. She is one of a kind, and there is no one I trust more to help me say what I need to say.”

Doris Higginbotham, President, Canon Information Technology Services

Morgan Stanley Women’s Leadership Program participants

“This was BY FAR the best (most meaningful) training experience that I have had since I attended the World Class Service event in D.C. years ago. I took copious notes and plan to share them with my team.”

“Roberta is awesome and I hope Morgan Stanley invites her to come back; all could benefit from spending time with her! Power posing in the airport : ).”

Jane Silva, Ingersoll Rand, Business Relationship Leader

“Having Roberta as a facilitator of our Women’s Leadership Program was paramount to the success of the workshop. She demonstrated deep knowledge of the subject and yet explained difficult topics in a profound and easy way, underpinning the content with her own experience. She used an especially personalized approach that made each of us feel special, and the examples she included from her own experience were relevant and helpful. It seemed that she was paying attention to us at all times, using techniques to keep us engaged to lead us on our journey.”

Troutman Sanders Attorneys

"I thought Roberta's presentation was fantastic. I very much appreciated that it was geared towards busy professionals -- it made the advice much more relevant that it was coming from someone who has had a busy career. This was great, both for big picture and substantive take-aways to help day to day."

"This was a very effective and thoughtful presentation. Roberta hit topics that are important to women without pandering or generalizing, which is a very difficult balance. I walked away from the presentation feeling calmer and more in control of how I present myself at the firm."

Sue Robinson, VCU Libraries, Director of Public Relations

“An enthusiastic and engaged professional who makes things happen, Roberta would be an asset to any project or organization.”
