…Top-Of-The-Line Education…
Our experience with Franchetti Communications has been
immensely positive. The Franchettis bring a level of
professionalism and expertise to the table that is second to
none. With the addition of various Franchetti-facilitated
communications programs to our course catalog, we have been
able to improve public speaking, presentation skills, marketing
techniques and media communications across our organization.
Several of our local markets have found success by using the
techniques introduced in the Franchetti programs resulting in
new clients and business.
The Franchettis have been able to complement our current
courses by providing our participants with a top-of-the-line
education on all things related to communications. Their level of
customer service and true ability to connect with their
participants, regardless of background, profession, etc. makes
the Franchettis stand apart.

…Top Of My List…
Over a 20+ year career either writing speeches or
advising CEOs and other C-Suite speakers on where to
speak only one name remains on top of my list for
executive presentation and media coaching –
Franchetti Communications. Jack, Suzanne and team
are unbeatable in getting the best out of executives
irrespective of gender, experience, or personality – the
results are transformative.
-Senior Public Relations executive, agency and in-
house, for industrial and professional service firms
…An Immediate Positive Impact…
I've had the pleasure of working with Franchetti Communications over a
10 year period. Twice we engaged the Franchetti team in preparation for
annual investor meetings. There is no question that the time and
investment with them had an immediate positive impact on the quality of
the annual meetings, and had a long-term effect of heightening our
presentation skills, overall. Our message was more clearly communicated
and everyone, from the most senior members of our team -- to the up-
and-coming junior staff, benefitted tremendously. Most recently, I retained
Franchetti as we prepared to launch a new fund. By reinvesting in our
communication skills, we have been able to clearly communicate our
experience and differentiated offering. They bring a wealth of experience
with financial situations, a no-nonsense and highly professional approach,
and a level of discretion that makes Franchetti a true partner. I highly
recommend them to anyone preparing for presentations to the financial
community.
- Partner and Founder, Private equity firm
…Masterfully Connect…
Suzanne’s ability to help speakers plan and deliver
powerful presentations is remarkable. From corporate
finance professionals to 17-year old high school
interns, to the visionary Executive Directors of
nonprofit organizations, I have watched Suzanne tailor
her work to help her audience masterfully connect
with theirs. Whether it is a speech to hundreds, a
conversation with a funder, or a meeting with
colleagues, her I find myself constantly employing her
techniques to shape my message, anticipate questions
or concerns, and ultimately successfully communicate
my point.
-Kathryn O’Neal-Dunham, Philanthropy New York, COO
…Well Prepared With The
Media Issues…
Jack is one of the most experienced media
trainers with whom I've had the pleasure to
work with. I've hired him on multiple occasions
for the last 16 years and his media training
courses are always spot on. He is always well
prepared with the media issues that our clients
are facing and he is always well versed on the
industries in which our clients operate. I highly
recommend him. Some of my clients at the most
senior level have said that Jack's course is one of
the best that they've ever taken.

…Experienced Better And Clearer
Messaging…
We used Franchetti Communications to help train the
management of companies that were for sale. They
focused on the areas of presenting that would have the
greatest impact to making their presentation effective
and compelling. We experienced better and clearer
messaging and as a result received high interest from
the bidders in the way of higher bids. We had an
excellent experience with great results.
-John Bellizzi, Global Head of Corporate Development,
Thomson Reuters, Leading Provider of Intelligent
Information to the World’s Businesses and
Professionals
…Are Trusted Advisors…
Franchetti Communications are true experts in public
speaking and media training. Their program is accessible,
repeatable and highly effective across the various
experience levels at our company. But most important, the
program is tailored to our specific needs because they take
the time to learn our business. They are more than skilled
communicators, Franchetti Communications are trusted
advisors. WisdomTree can now confidently utilize its
executive team in many types of media and presentation
scenarios. We are also developing a strong bench at the
associate level which allows us to pursue more client and
media facing opportunities concurrently, expanding our
overall communications program.
-Stuart Bell, WisdomTree
…Presentation Coaching…
I first hired Jack back in 2000 and have used
Franchetti Communications for presentation
coaching dozens of times over the past 14
years. The feedback from training recipients has
been universally positive and we look forward to
working with the Franchetti team multiple times
per year for years to come.
- John Youngblood, Managing Partner of Gallatin
Capital, LLC
…Feel Calm And Confident…
I worked with Suzanne as a personal coach to prepare
me for numerous presentations to large audiences. Her
gift is to enable one to feel calm and confident while
learning how to express and project key points in a
message. Suzanne also conducted team based
communications skills training with a business
development team proving she is able to work with
individuals and teams at various levels across an
organization. She is a confidant, a mentor and key
resource for our organization.
-President, Private Financial Services Company
…Work With Diverse Groups…
Suzanne is an exceptional coach and teacher. She
is able to work with diverse groups using her
knowledge of business, understanding of
different media avenues for different age groups
and personalized communication techniques to
increase an organization’s effectiveness. She has
become the trusted advisor to many team leaders
as their roles expand in scope and responsibility.
- Global Head of Human Resources, Private
Financial Services Firm
…All The Feedback Was Positive…
Well done. Really, very, very well done. I have
never been to one of these events where all the
feedback was positive. I mean ALL. No buts, or
grudging acknowledgements or anything. What I
heard was entirely one-way traffic. “The most
dramatic turnaround in the industry” was one
comment. We even ended on time!
- Management Team Preparation For A Difficult
Annual Investor Meeting
…Opening You Recommended Worked
Brilliantly…
I just wanted to say thanks again for your support -
both to me personally but to all the presenters who
signed up. I think they saw a huge value in the 90
minutes + they spent working with you. I could
certainly see if as a delegate watching some of the
presentations! My presentation went well and the
launch of the client tool was successful. The opening
you recommended worked brilliantly. People even
validated the problem while vocalizing their support of
the tool - so a clear connection was made in their eyes.
Thank you.
- Insurance company executive
…Received Several Complements…
I think the presentation went quite well. It certainly
went as planned, with all of the information free
flowing, paced well, and comfortable. I received
several complements, some of which were unsolicited -
i.e., subsequent emails from people I did not even
know were there and/or who were not there but had
heard about it (which I consider the most objective
feedback since there was no obligation). I sincerely
appreciate your training - it improved my comfort level
and presentation 110%. I will certainly intend to prep
with you again for future large presentations.
- Partner, professional services firm
…Great Advice, Guidance And
Constructive Criticism…
Jacqueline, I just wanted to say thanks for the
instruction these past few days. I thought you
gave me great advice, guidance and constructive
criticism. I learned a tremendous amount and I
will implement a lot of what you were saying. I
thought the course structure was well run. I have
been through a lot of "presentation" classes and
this was by far the most informative and helpful.
You were a great teacher.
- Portfolio Manager, Large asset manager
