"Very thorough and competent"
"I thought Judy was very thorough and competent. I found the media training very useful in helping me to focus clearly on the points I wanted to make. It also made me realise that I didn't always necessarily have to answer a question directly but could interpret it so that my key messages were delivered."
Julia Roberts, QVC Presenter
